फ़ोर्ड ​फिगो​ [2012-2015] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

 

I manchala umapathy, writing this review. I took this vehicle on 14 th of feb from mody ford, begumpet. ford figo, 1.2 petrol  ZXI, color squeez with coral ip dash board. for this we had to book the vehicle in advance. figo is the reduced copy of fiesta.

 

Exterior Rather to say good, it is better to say, i like the design of its kind. the aero dynamic shape gives stability at 120 kmph or so.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I like figo interiors, as contrary to say it is excellent. somebody may not agree with any review. always there is chance for debate.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth engine, pickup is very good, some times even you can not hear the sound of the engine, as if it became off. Somebody told, that for ZXI and titanium versions the engine assembly is imported, that is why the difference between LXI, EXI versions. There is no official report because of business ethics.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Good but i can say excellent.

 

Final Words Except the poor milage, figo is an excellent youth vehicle. if anyone doesn't matter about petrol prices better go for figo.

 

Areas of improvement Rear power windows is an added advantage nowadays. Alarm can be incorporated for/while locking the vechilce with door glasses opened by mistake, default usb slot can be provided. rear logo for the version may be provided. At present you can not say the variant be looking the vehicle from back.

 

aero design, whiskus cat style head lamps, bluetooth interface for cellphone for handsfree callsabsence of rear power windows, no alarm for locking system, poor milage

I own a Ford Figo Duratorq Disel ZXI 1.4 car.

Really good other than the front grill.  I am not that comfortable with the front grill design.  The aerodynamics design I think has given it a low roof in the second half of the vehicle.  The vehicle really looks small when seen from behind & just the wise versa from front.  Cool Looks in general. J  

Interiors are nice & spacious.  The dash is cool & AC is really powerful.  The designers could have thought about rear seats 60 40 stuff.

Engine performance is quiet good.  Pickup & overtaking is quiet effective.  Gear box could have been smoother.  I have not yet emptied a fully filled fuel tank, so may not be able to comment.  But until now I feel it is quiet effective.

The most attractive stuff is the driving comfort.  It’s really cool & smooth even on awful roads.  Although it is categorized in the mid segment vehicles, you have a feel the driving comfort of a big & heavy sedan.

 

Good Features… Solid in road, Driving comfort, Good Power, Good interiors, Bluetooth facility,Rear windows slides only 60%, Rear power windows, 60 40 rear seats, could have been with subwoofer,

Exterior Figo's exteriors are just OK and is not its unique selling point, not a great looking car but not bad either. The paint job seems to be pretty good. The exteriors give an impression of solidly built car. There have been some comments on the internet about Figo's headlights not being good enough but I think these comments are completely unwarranted. The headlights do a decent job.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice interiors, much better than Liva's. Plastics don't look cheap. Nice finish. Decent amount of space and can confortably seat 4 people, is much much more spacious than Chevrolet Beat. Liva does seem to be more spacious than Ford Figo but has terrible interiors. The lever to open the hood (bonnet) is on the wrong side but that is a minor irritant since you don't need to open the hood that often. The button to open the boot, however, is placed very thoughtfully on the dashboard itself and provides for easier access.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I own a Honda City (i-VTEC), so my comparison is basically based on my experience with Honda City's petrol engine and my brother's Swift Dzire.

Even though I am used to driving a Honda City, I didn't find Figo that diffcult to drive. I did manage to stall the car a few times but that is because I expect the Figo to pull ahead at low speeds even on 3rd or 4th gear just like Honda City.  The performance on highway is decent and the car is quite stable even at high speeds. The gearbox is quite slick (obviously it is not as good as Hond City's) and I have had no issues with it.

Ride Quality & Handling Overall ride quality is good and so is the handling. You don't get thrown around on bumps and you get a feeling of a stable and bigger car. I had some concerns over Figo's ground clearance but no issues so far.

Final Words If you need to decide between Swift, Beat, Liva and Figo, then Figo would be your best option.

Beat => Just too cramped and is basically meant for two people only.
Liva => Cheap and terrible interiors, no option to install speakers in rear doors, spedometer console is in the center and is kiddishly designed.
Swift => Very much over priced for the features they provide. I think Maruti is just cashing in on their brand loyality.

Areas of improvement Audio system is not as good as compared to Honda City's but then I am comparing cars from two completely different segments.

Value for money car, solid built, spacious boot, nice interiorsAudio system is just about average

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good boot space , convenient for 3 at back with comfortable leg space .

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Pick up slow , Shift in gears after 2000 RPM is required to over come the slow pick up , Gear shifts are good and smooth , Lowering of gear is required during overtaking.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellant , very strurdy car and very good streeing contol at high speeds , Suspension is good and doesnt feel much of jumpings at back seat even in bad roads . I had read in review about deficiancy in head lights on highways , But I didnt experiance such problems , since the head lights are adjustable , Keep the beam posiiton in ZERO u will get a better visibility , Since the car has a low body height , Maintaining 35 PSI in all tyres will help in car deck hitting the bumps.

Final Words Value for money and can be rated as a semi luxury car with good features.

Areas of improvement Height , Fuel economy , Pick up . Mileage drops to less than 10 while driving in traffic.

Sturdy at high speeds , Best in leg room at back seat in comparison with other cars in this classMileage , I purchased the vehicle in June 2011 and had driven 1200 KM , gives 14 KM/L on highway

 

Exterior Exterior found very attractive

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features like Audio system, staring adjustment etc are the impressive things.  Available space is really good in all hatchback models. I am getting the comfort feel while driving this car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance – Engine performance is really good. Pick-up is also good.  I have tried to run this car on speed of 130KMPH and observed the smooth running. Only they need to concentrate to reduce the humming sound when the car is running 1st and 2^nd gear. There should be minimum sound.

Fuel Economy I have driven 7000 KM during last 4 month. I have carried one service after completing 2300KM running. I am daily travelling 62KM and getting mileage of 14.5 to 15KM. I have traveled Mumbai – Pune twice and achieve mileage of 20KM on speed of 100~120 kmph which is good.

Gear Box I am not happy with gear box as the shifting movement in 1^st and 2^nd gear is not very smooth. I observed that if the speed is as per specified RPM then gear shifting is very smooth in 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th gear.  

Ride Quality & Handling Due to engine capacity we are getting the good quality ride. You can drive this car as per your need on highway. Performance and pick-up is really impressive.  

Final Words Good comfort Car for family and corporate management.

Areas of improvement 

 (1)    Glass Movement of rear window.  

(2)    Need Head Rest provision for rear seats

(3)    Need proper solution to avoid the disturbing noise during the car running especially  on rough roads.

(4)    Need to reduce the engine humming sound in 1^st and 2^nd gear running.

(5)    Need to increase the quantity of service centers net work.

 

 

Good Style, Audio System , Pick-up and mileageDisturbing Noise during the running Especially on rough road/city road

Exterior Nice exterior looks(saying on the basis of my figo being sea-grey colour). awesome reverse parking sensors which alerts at a distance difference of 3-4ft 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable seating capacity for 5 people... interiors really look stunning with best in the class A/C, stereo system, bluetooth connectivity, cup holding consoles n lots more... only thing dissapointing is for the rear passengers who will lack the comfot of having power windows at back.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I was highly impressed by its such nice pick up... jus for fun i took up a challenge with my friend's maruti swift vdi on the highway was stunned to see figo had left swift way behind (actually nt in the picture). Racing freaks can ur bet money on it.

Ride Quality & Handling At d speeds of 120-140km/hr(actually max speed till which i hd drove on highwy) figo is rock solid without any swaying.

Final Words If u want a car with all facilities like excellent pik up, comfortable interiors n exciting exteriors go for figo. FABULOUS FIGO.

Areas of improvement Should provide rear power windows.

excellent pick up, easy manuvering, best in the class A/C, interior spaceno rear power windows

Exterior As you all know i would say it has it's wonderful exterior, I love the exterior otherwise I would have gone to some other car. Actually it depends upon individual. I like the exterior very much.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Since, my Figo is ZXI, it has got lots of features like remote control lock/unlock, audio system with bluetooth connectivity - one can love to listen the songs in this audio system unless he is not somekind of music maniac who likes to listen songs with max volume, box speakers kind of things...😊. Rear leg room was awesome since my parents didnt complaint me about the rear space (I was driving the car with them the whole day, they never felt any discomfort).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Am not a technical guy to talk about the engine in detail, but i can feel that the car was struggling a little bit when it was in the second gear for few seconds and then gets the pick up automatically (Some one has to provide me some inputs about this point as i dont know much about this kind of pick up 😦).

I have driven 270 Kms till date with AC all the time and didnt check about the FE (Actually I was little thrilled to have my first car and didnt care to calculate the FE as of now). The dealer handed over me the vehicle with half tank and I filled the fuel for 1000 Rs and having half  tank fuel left as of now. Will calculate the FE and update soon. I have given 4 stars for FE above in the assumption that it will not let me down below 17 in city driving.

Gear shifting is very smooth and i dont see any trouble with that.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality and handling was excellent, am saying this for sure since I can feel that much easy to drive in the city traffic because of its excellet road view.

Final Words Ford Figo is a true VFM.

Areas of improvement People say it has to improve its ground clearance. But still I didnt face that problem. If GC is a real problem for FIGO, then FORD has to take care about this.

Good style, Excellent road view, lot of featuresPick up in 2nd Gear as of now

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.

SPACE, STYLE, A/C, BOOT SPACEFUEL EFFICIENCY - ONLY 9 kmpl, BACK WINDOWS DONOT OPEN FULLY

Dear All,

(Beware, only buy this car if you have good insurance and want to do suicide on the road).

I was (not now) the proud owner of Ford Figo since last 3 years,, however,, it has started given problem since last 3 month. this is dead machine,, if you want to die then only buy this car

I always taking my car on schedule for servicing and taking good care of my Car.

Before 3 month, I was driving on the highway on or approx. speed of 100 KM/h. suddenly, steering get too hard and it impossible to turn,, it seems,, it get locked… it was horrible incident of my life. My family with me in the car and on the High Way.. However, I make it and parked my car at side of the road.

I turn off car and restart it, suddenly, it working fine.

Same incident happened with me more than 8 times, 1 on highway and 7 in local city on speed approx. 30-40 km/h.. because I decided not to use this car on highway as I don’t want to have a appointment with Mr. Yamdoot for now. ha ha ha

I already given this car for servicing two times but this issue is not yet resolved,, I found too many users of ford figo facing this issue and didn’t found any solution from Ford yet.  Already too many money invested for this issue and I don’t want to invest 7 lakh again (for servicing) for this car just because of steering problem.

So, if anyone it trying to buy this car then please think twice and if you have any query or need more information on this incident then please email me at XXXXXX. or if you want to experience this issue, lets drive my car.. you are welcome. (I will not be responsible if you dead).

I am planning to sale my car soon, but don’t want to put anyone’s life in danger. Please suggest, what I can do with this car.

Again, if you are planning to buy this car, think twice.. or if you need more information about steering fail incident, then please email me.

Thanks,

Bhupesh.
