Ford Figo [2012-2015] User Reviews

Exterior GOOD. SOME MORE COLOUR MAY BE ADDED

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) EXCELLENT. THE CAR HAS ENOUGH SITTING SPACE FOR 3+2, ITS BOOT SPACE IS ALSO SUFFICIENT.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox FUEL ECONOMY - POOR , REST GOOD. ACCORDING TO MY DRIVER ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND GEARBOX BOTH ARE OPERATED SMOOTHLY.

Ride Quality & Handling EXCELLENT. I DO NOT DRIVE PERSONALLY BUT ENJOY RIDING IT.ITS POWERFUL A/C GIVES MUCH COMFORT EVEN TO THE REAR SEATS.

Final Words A GOOD CAR TO OWN. I ALREADY HAVE TAKEN SOME OF MY FRIENDS ON A LONG DRIVE. THEY ARE ALL OF OPINION THAT THE CAR IS VERY COMFORTABLE AND IF AND WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE THEIR PRESENT CAR THEY WILL GIVE A TRY TO THIS MODEL. 

Areas of improvement BACK WINDOWS SHOULD OPEN FULLY. FUEL EFFICIENCY SHOULD BE IMPROVED PARTICULARLY IN A COUNTRY LIKE INDIA WHERE PETROL PRICE IS VERY HIGH. ALL THE SAME, I THINK THAT THE FUEL EFFICIENCY WILL BE BETTER AND CERTAINLY MORE THAN THE PRESENT 9 kmpl AFTER THE FIRST SERVICING AND MORE RUNNING. ACTUALLY IT HAS RUN FOR 467 KILOMETERS ONLY UPTO NOW.

Exterior Looks like sedan from front, specially white one(not a good option for sporty look but it is for those people who likes to carry a personality like owing a sedan car.)

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Huge space like sedan in front and rear as well, I am 6.1 ft still remains 5 inch gap, huge leg space also boot space is good for trip.

Music system is awesome it has Great clarity and bass as well also every connectivity it has like Bluetooth.DVD/CD,USD Aux, 3.5 mm audio in, I love the the Bluetooth connectivity, like take calls or you can watch a movie with car audio bass, it will feel like theater inside if you have 10 inch tab, just mount that in windshield by a car mobile/tab stand.

Simply every small thing it has inside ,like bottle holders, 12 v output for car charger, hand rest on all four doors, and all others like auto central lock after 7 km/h, child lock , adjustable headrest in front seats, where i10 dose the cost cutting here. even coat hook it has for hanging  option.

It is an American brand, so no hidden cheating is done here for cost cutting, you will see differences in perfection of finishing in interior, from any Indian makers , who cheats some where by singing a song of mileage, car is not all about mileage, if you have that worry go for bike not car. As people don't know how good mileage comes by doing several compromises in making, by making thin doors , body , and thin tires also  even by making that lower cc cars like 800/1000 cc instead of 1200 cc which maters for high speed stability also. even the bigger height will increase the air friction , figo's aerodynamic is impressive for high speed driving. also figo now giving apolo tires like Duster which is better that Good Year tires previously.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Realible Engine , gear and clutch is so smooth to handle. Speedometer has 220 max where i10, swift has 180 max, you can touch 170 km/h in figo , I have petrol 1.2 EXI.

Power is good , this kind of car which don't have that  initial throttle but have enough torque to beat any hatchback in highway in long run as it has that top speed and also the stability in high speed, see figo top speed video in you-tube. Only need know the top speed driving skill when you will wish to drive , try to get maximum out of 4th gear like upto 90 km/h then engage 5th, if road is clear, and smooth figo can touch 175 km/pl even, enogh to beat any hatch. huge stabilty also in high speed.

Ride Quality & Handling As a driver, steering control is fabulous, power steering is very good, it has hydraulic power steering which don't falls certain like electric power steering.

Final Words You can Definately buy figo, but you don't buy Indian makers car, try to buy Ford, Honda, Volkswagen, Renault or Nissan.

Remember, though Hyundai is a Korean  brand still it is  going on maruti's way to capture market by doing several cost cutting recently. Try to avoid Hyundai,tata, mariti and  even Chevrolet's small cars.

Areas of improvement I heard some problems with dearship, but my Ganges Ford in Kolkata is very good, I hope Ford will retain that and will incearse the service centers, But Okay From me, You will not need so many services for figo for sure.
