Final Words
My association with Figo goes back to around 5 years back when i purchased it simply for its good looks, i`m fond of squarish structures.....Even today i don`t have any issue with the looks, it still beats new India designed vehicles by miles.
My issue is with the mechanism comprising engine,gearbox, transmission and suspension.In the last 3 years, since it started giving trouble, almost all major components have been replaced one by one. Every now and then it goes to the Authorized Service Station, another name for organised cheating. Either these cars are not made for Indian conditions or simply they are very bad as far as engineering is concerned.
Every time something goes down in the car, what accentuates the problem is the fact that no spare parts are available in the outside market. The agency charges exhorbitatntly. As a recent example, the therostat housing and a water hose costs upward of Rs. 10000, which will normally cost somewhere around 2000 for any other car, sans the Mercedes. A front axle seal change with labor cost 2000 Rs.With low no. of cars sold in the market and a business to run, the agency owners are hell bent on extracting the last rupee from the customer`s pocket. It is my firm belief that they start the next problem in motion when you go to them with the current problem. They are a bunch of cheats trying to sell bad products and dishonest services through extensive marketing.
Areas of improvement
It is my sincere advice to readers to not to buy any Ford products. These may be good overseas but not here in India.
