    PURCHASE:
    New

    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior The car looked good, and awesome at certain angles.  

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dashboard loots are beyond  good. The plastic quality is good too.

    Lots of features different from other cars of the class like:

    * Indicator turns off automatically after you make the turn

    * Impressive audio with great quality sound.

    * Boot is openable with a switch on the car key

    * Bluetooth

    * Automatic central locking when car crosses 7 km/h speed.

    * Automatic hazard light operates when brakes are applied quikly from high speeds. 

    It has lots of space for 5 people. If necessary, you can get a 4th person on the back with only a little discomfort. Leg room is good. Head room is average. Boot space is amazing. Travel comfort is very good too.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performs good. Remember I am having a diesel 1.4L figo. It moves through small inclinations even with the release of clutch alone withuot accelerating. The mileage is extra ordinary (for diesel car). On highway with 4 people along with AC , I got 21.4L mileage(even after stopping and waiting a lot at the traffic signals). This means nothing but more tham 25kmpl when alone, without AC on normal roads.  Gear shifting is smooth but the reverse gear need a little movement, which is good to ensure safety or we may put Reverse on lowering 5th.

    Ride Quality & Handling Even at high speed, you will not feel you are at such speeds. Hangling is so much easier even at very high speeds, ensuring high stability. It has got a quality driving comfort. You will surely get a quality ride.

    Final Words I have heard bad comments on this car but it is all about petrol car. It is totally different when it comes to the diesel; besides, who wants a petrol car when petrol price hikes every week? Some of you may hear a squeaking sound on breaking. Donot blame the car, it shows that the brake fluid is about to be changed, thats all. Even being a diesel car, the maintanence cost is less then average. Mark my word, this car is priced very lower than what you get with it. Value for money is guaranteed. My FIGO has travelled 22,000 kilometres by now and I am heavily satisfied. (One thing, if you want accessories get it form anywhere other than the ford dealers because eventhough they do the work with extreme precision, they bill large amounts).

    Areas of improvement Ground clearence was a problem but after two services, the condition was a lot better. The engine noise is common with all diesel car.So don't bother about it.

    Performance , mileage, comfort, and lots more.Ground Clearence (only initially), Engine noise(Common for almost all diesel car)
