Ford Figo Aspire-Excellent value for money

Exterior

The look of this car always confuses other people if its a budget car or a high end sedan.The front grill of this car with that chrome finish gives it a stylish view.Rear of this car is a bit on the upper side,but it doesnt look like the boot has been attached to it atall.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interior is beige and black with a nice finishing touch to every nook and corner.The seats are comfy too and enough space for 3 medium sized people easily.The AC is powerful enough,cools down the entire cabin in a few minutes,so no need to put it on the whole time.Sound system is excellent and sufficient with 4 speakers.A really good feature is the aux point and usb point in the MyFordDock panel,which can be used easily with no worry of the phone tripping over even in bridge traffics and panic braking.Steering wheel itself has a control panel of this infotainment system so no need to extend to that main panel.It even has bluetooth connectivity to phones and other devices and feature to import all contacts.The cabin insulation also is really good and feels neglegible discomfort when goes through a pot hole.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine is really powerful and rev it beyond 1700 rpm and it is just a joy to ride.The torque is excellent,215Nm is really good enough for this segment.Apparently no presence of turbo lag....can even ride as low as 15kmph from 3rd gear.Currently she gives me 15kmpl in the cities but then again i ride around 1st and 2nd around 3000 rpm,so its a different story,but when driven perfectly it gave around 20-22 kmpl which was with AC off.The gearbox is smooth,no issues there.

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride Qualty is good as I mentioned above,absorbs all the bumps and holes smoothly.Even when it is at higher speeds of upto 130-140,it feels under control.The steering response is good and helps alot in city traffic and highways as well.

Final Words

I was suggested by other people to go for other car in the same segment,but we went for this one and except one minor problem of the speakers not playing which was internally disturbed because i wasnt used to the new cars pickup and torque....hehe took me 2 dasy to get used to it but the ford service guys responded quickly and took the car to service centre the same day itself.Kuddos for Wasan Ford in Bombay.All things apart,Aspire is an excellent family car and has good power,good fuel economy,good space and importantly lots of safety and practicality.Value for money.

Areas of improvement  

Honestly,please include the driver seat height adjustment,no problem for men while driving but women need one.Include the parking sensor....really necessary in big cities.Havent come across anything else other than this.
