Ford Figo_King of the B+ segment

 

Hi All,

I own Ford Figo EXI diesel and have driven it for around 3000Kms in 1.5 months. It is time to write a review on this car so that future hatchback  buyers  can decide easily.

My budget was around 6L.I got confused between VW POLO and FORD Figo. VW Polo comfortline comes around 6L + accessories =6.4 to 6.5L Petrol version. I liked the looks fit and finish, interiors of the VW Polo and i booked the car. They said the waiting time is around 3 months and I was ok with it.3 months happened and no response from VW you try to call them and the sales representative with whom you have interacted would not be there and you need to carry all the documents and ask them when the car will arrive. I being a customer wants to be treated like a king but  dealing with VW folks it is very irritating.

They my friend bought fod figo EXI diesel on road price including all accessories it come around 6L.I took a test drive and boy diesel at such a good price. The diesel engine is a tested and proven ford fiesta diesel whereas in VW it is just some 3 cyl untested one.I called the the dealer who promptly came to my office offered test drive and the behaviour of the dealer was very impressive. Since I travel a lot (>2000km per month)diesel will save me some money. Immediately I canceled VW polo petrol and bought figo. I got it within 15 days of booking.

If you are confused between polo and Figo my suggestion is VW polo is a good car but it is for people who don't care to pay 1.5L extra for the fit and finish and don't mind dealing with this irritating VW dealers.Else go for Figo it is the best VFM car and a very powerful engine (1.4L)than POLO.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good interior,very comfortable seats.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gives me around 16Km=l in city with full A\c on all the time and 20+ in highways.
