Ford Figo Diesel after 38000 kms

Exterior exterior is good, Design is good I LIKED the sleek design but when in crowd the car feels like a small car due to low height and sleek design. As a hatchback too, every one is interested in buying a car which is bulky or big in appearance (not sure, its my view), if so then figo is not ur choice

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space and AC is excellent where no car can beat this. Seating is also good. nothing more than that.

BAD SUSPENSION SUCKS EVERYTHING. FEELS EVERY PATHHOLES OR BUMBS EVEN SMALL OR BIG INTO THE CAR, RESULTED IN BODY TIREDNESS EVEN FOR A SHORT TRIP IN BAD ROADS. MY BROTHER'S NISSAN MICRA AND MY COUSIN/FRIEND'S PUNTO /POLO IS FLYING OVER THE PATHHOLES WHERE THEY ARE NOT READY TO REDUCE THE SPEED BECAUSE OF THE SUSPENSION SUITED FOR INDIAN ROAD, NOTHING FELT INSIDE.. BUT MY FATE IS I SHOULD REDUCE THE SPEED OF MY CAR AND WATCH FULLY THE BAD ROADS TO ESCAPE FROM PATHHOLES/BUMBS (also have a chance to scratch the bottom when fully loaded) EVEN THEN MY FAMILIES ARE SHOUTING BECAUSE OF TERRIBLE SUSPENSION. time delay and body tiredness is the result.

If five persons in figo the suspension presses down its maximum and doesn't feel that suspension is working atleast 20%.

Its a gem in highway trips with no bad roads. i am from kerala where there are lot of bad roads so i started thinking why i bought this car as many of them complaining the abbout bad suspension. checked with ASC but no issues traced with suspension.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox No turbo lag,  power is also good, but when Ac on, the acceleration felt like that we are driving a heavy metal. So i am enjoying my drive mostly without AC 

 

Engine noise is audibble so cant enjoy full beat of music, we will stop the music after a while as the car noise along with music give a allergic sound effect. but engine noise will get reduce for a long drives.

Brake is pathetic (not ABS), If car is running with a full family and at a speed of 80 or 90 sudden brake will not stop the car, escaped two times because of bad braking after that adjusted my speed and timing for applying brakes. checked punto/polo brakes, it just works as a ABS, only a finger is enough to stop the car at high speed. So we can try some adventurous drive on those cars but not in figo

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality and handling is excellant, Road visibility is nice so no fear feel in traffic or hilly roads. Car is steady at high Speed. no vibration or body roll and get lot of confidence on high speed or curves.

 Final Words Quality and durability is a question mark here.

Areas of improvement LOTS: SUSPENSION, BRAKES, ENGINE NOISE, GROUND CLEARANCE, LIGHT IS NOT SUFFICIENT AT NIGHT.

Cabin space, Good back seat, airy cabin, AC, mileage, fun to driveVery bad suspension,engine noise, in and out is difficult due to low height,looking like a small car
