Good Car But not suitable for Indian bumpy roads

 

Exterior Looks very good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Poor rear seat folding mechanism. No water bottle holders for front and rear passengers. AC buttons are not good and too low on the dashboard and feelless. No outside air vent control. Very small Tachometer for the driving enthusiast who like to take care of the engine RPM and gear selection. Driver's seat is not comfortable. If you want a benchmark Hyundai Getz  Prime 1.3 has one of the most comfortable interiors and dashboard in its class.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Steering Wheel doesn't provide a nice feel of the road in City driving but highway is ok. Brakes and clutch pedals are too heavy and braking is not confident.

 

Final Words Figo Desiel is a useful car. But its very unsafe for Indian roads with pot holes and speed bumps. The car hits the bumps because of its very soft shock absorbers which can  potentially fatal if we are not extra careful on pot holes and bumps especially when car is fully loaded. Ford should adjust its shocks and ground clearance for Indian roads. I agree that on a smooth highway the ride is very comformtable. Overall this car is value for money but not comfortable compared to its rivals.

 

Areas of improvement NA.

 

Value for MoneyVery Soft Shock Absorbers for Indian speed bumps, Poor Dashbord Buttons for AC and vent control
