My FIGO 1.2L...WOW it feels like HEAVEN !!!!!

 

Exterior It looks to be simple and has comes out with minimum unnecessary curves like beat,jazz or ritz... yet the figo looks very good and decent... just like any other typical ford cars !!! Its truly big in the B+ segment hatchbacks and obviously it has good road presence...!But anyway looks are subjective,so it differ from person to persons .Anyway, i personally rate : 8/10 for its exterior looks.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) WOW... Simply mindblowing....just like fiesta's interiors ! I love its designing of dash board and electronic console all seems to be impressive and good... and far times better than swift,ritz,punto and beat.Yet fabia,i10 and polo are having better interior than figo's.But still figo will surly let one down on its interiors.Also the music system and its four speakers really sounds good like anyother sony,JBL or pionner speakers.The most important that one will never fail to notice is itz powerful A/C... its not just chill but really cold... this is because it has got a 145CC compressor whereas others like swift/ritz and i10 has goot only 98CC compressor. The quality of plastics used in fabrication are  are not best in its class but still its too good and much much better than swift and punto.Also the boot space,rear leg room,sholder room and seating positions are best in its segment and they are absolutely superB !Figo can accomidate 5 adults comfortably without much compramise in spacing and comfort even on long drives... I rate 9/10 for its interiors.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very much well refined and butter smooth .Absolutly no vibrations and very less noise.Power transmission in 1st,4th and 5th gears are too good,they are very responsive and produces quick jolt of torque on considering its engine segment.3rd gear is very average and 2nd gear is truly sluggish and poor in throttle responds.But on busy traffic conditions this will work ....because their is no need for frequent change in gears almost runs fully in 2nd - 3rd gear.Engine's low end and high end performance are very average but mid-range performance is truly impressive.71Ps of power  is truly not enough ,where other cars beat figo in this term but eventhough its not a speedster still it is an DECENT PERFORMER. And gear box is very good on its feel... very butter smooth transmission of gears with good gear transmission ratios.Am getting an milage of 12kmpl in city and 15kmpl on highways.Overall,i rate 7/10 for its engine performance and milage.

 

Ride Quality & Handling And this is where the FIGO overtakes other comparitors. It has simply got the best in its class RIDE QUALITY AND HANDLING... the dynamics of this car is too stable even on 140km/hr speed.I was impressesd with this hatchback... just like the fiesta even on the sharp turns and hilly roads... it handles just like a knife in the butter.Effortlessly the  FIGO does magic on its handling and ride quality where others cant even come close to it.The hydraulic power steering is always better than the electronic power steering.Only Figo,polo,jazz and fabia comes with the HPS where as i10,swift,beat and ritz comes with the EPS.The HPS provides more control and greater stability and responds on higher speeds than EPS.Figos power steering is very solid yet peppy. The figo gives the typical FORD DNA on this small wonder... it is certainly the DRIVERS CAR and a mere pleasure to drive. Here i rate a perfect 10/10 for this mean machine.

 

Final Words In a nutshell it is THE MOST COMPLETE CAR  in its segment which provides space+comfort+features/lotz of goodies like bluetoot etc+best handling + refined engine + the FORD brand value.Also a very decent performance with average milage.Go for it and none will regret.

 

Areas of improvement 15+ kmpl of stable milage is expected, more torque on lower gears : this two factors are must to improve.Apart from that Automatic climatic control A/C + tiltable steering wheel with audio controls are expected atleast in the top end version !!!
