ஃபோர்டு அஸ்பயர் [2015-2018] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Does what it's supposed to do. Fun to drive. Comfortable seating for all five. Very stable at high speeds. Ford really makes nice cars. Feesls strong and sturdy yet very agile on the road. Better go for a Titanium Plus variant with six airbags and loads of other options. Hope Ford makes a Diesel AMT soon

Buying experience was not so bad. Riding experience is awesome, only drawback is reduced visibility of side rear view mirrors. It doesn't cover a wider angle. Looks decent enough for me. Performance very well. Major plus is it's service and maintenance, I've had least maintenance cost - I guess this will come as a plus for those who drive decently.

FORD FIGO ASPIRE DIESEL: I didn't buy this car yet, but my friend owns a 2018 model. RIDING EXPERIENCE AND PERFORMANCE : Ford Aspire has a 1.5 litre TDCi diesel engine, which produces 100 ps power and 215 Nm of torque, paired to five speed manual gearbox. The motor is not that punchy lower down and past 1400 rpm the motor pulls all the way till 5000 rpm which is the redline. There is no turbo lag and mid range is the strongest point of this car. 0-100 kmph takes 9.72 seconds. It is a refined motor in lower rpms but post 3000 rpm the motor gets vocal. The gearbox is a sleek shifting unit and the clutch is also on the lighter side. The steering is on the lighter side but feels dead in the centre position. The suspension is on the softer side but you can feel slight thud inside the cabin on the worst of roads. The brakes are better than the older version but there is little nosedive under heavy braking. Overall it is fun to drive and a keen driver's car. EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR : The 2018 facelifted model gets a new grill and bumper at front. It gets new 15'' alloys (195/55 R15). The rear bumper is also revised, it gets four parking sensors and a reverse parking camera. It gets 359 litres of boot space. The ground clearance is 174 mm and the turning radius is 4.9 m. The rear seat has enough leg room, knee room and head room but the under thigh support is slightly lacking. It gets a rear centre armrest without cup holders. It gets beige fabric upholstery which gives an airy feeling. The titanium variant gets a 7" touch screen with inbuilt satellite navigation. It gets automatic climate control air conditioning system and push button start. It gets two USB ports and a 12 v power socket at the front. The driver's instrument cluster gets a tachometer at the left, a fuel meter at the right, a speedometer at the centre and a MID below the speedometer. It also gets steering mounted audio controls. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE : Ford has given a first in segment 5 years/1 lakh km warranty. It comes with 2 labor free services. The fist service is done after 2500 km/3 months which consists of inspection and washing. The second service is done after 10000 km/1 year which consists of oil change, filter change etc.. Then the periodic paid service is done once every 10000 km/1 year, which ever is early. The engine oil costs Rs.1250, oil filter - Rs.405, brake fluid - Rs.765, air filter - Rs.230, coolant - Rs.1265. SAFETY : Top model gets 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, rear parking sensors and camera, ventilated front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, height adjustable driver seats, emergency assistance, perimeter alarm and driver and passenger seat belt reminder. 2 airbags, reverse parking sensors and ABS with EBD is standard across all variants. PROS : Diesel engine performance Fun to drive Steering is light and weighs up decently at higher speeds Segment leading safety Fuel efficient diesel engine Well equipped mid variants Ride and Handling Ride quality CONS : Front passenger seat brushes with the centre console when moved all the way front Pedal area isn't spacious and lacks a dead pedal No rear door pockets and no cup holders in the rear armrest No rear ac vents No front centre armrest No projector headlamps or DRLs No electromagnetic tailgate opener Small and Dated Multi Information Display

1. Buying Experience I have bought the Ford Aspire 1.5 TDCi (Diesel) (2015-2018) in September 2018 in from YZ Motors Aurangabad. I had a very good experience with the Dealer while buying Ford Aspire. I had great deal with them as the newer version of the same Car was announced to be launched in October 2018. 2. Riding Experience I have a very good riding experience as well. Drove it around 17000 km. till date even I don't drive it daily. I have taken it in the Konkan area like Tarkarli Sindhudurga and drove 1500 km but not a single time it failed during the journey. Riding is Very Smooth and appealing as compared to other rivals like Baleno/Dzire/Amaze. 3. Details about Looks, performance, etc. Lookwise it is as good as other cars in this segment; however front look I liked the most. also Back Look is a good one. But Baleno & amaze having good look at the backside. Performance-wise it is the best car in this segment. As it produces more power because of its 1500cc engine you will experience a very good pickup even though it is a diesel engine. The petrol engine not that much good as compare to Amaze because Honda is good in the petrol Engine than anyone else. But there is no challenge for ford in a Diesel engine segment it is always the winner. 4. Servicing and Maintenance I have done 2 servicing for my Car to date first servicing does not cost me any penny. For second servicing I paid around 3000 only with an engine oil change. Everybody suggested me not to go for Ford Car as it will have High Maintenance Cost in the long run. But when I visited its website stating all the prices for Spare Parts & Maintenance Cost in Detailed. Then I realized that it is much cheaper than Maruti Suzuki & Honda for maintenance too. So you don't need to worry about maintenance cost in case of Ford Cars as the Spare parts are manufactured in India now, therefore, they are too cheaper not costly as they seem to be earlier. 5. Pros and Cons Pros. I- Great Price II- Good Mileage III- Engine Performance IV- Great Power V- Great built Quality (weighs more than any car in this segment) Cons, I- Little Noise in a Diesel engine (actually all diesel engine make some noise II- Smaller boot space as compared to Amaze III- Lower ground clearance IV- No rear AC Vent V- Smaller tyre size
