4500 Kms Ownership Experience - Figo Diesel ZXI

Exterior Depends from person to person. I felt a missing of Alloys, Side beading and Fog lamps in ZXI version. But got all these things added by my dealer (Cauvery Ford - Bangalore) to my choice and satisfaction.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I would say Figo has best in class Cabin and boot Space. It has a best in class AC and factory fitted Audio system with Bluetooth Audio and phone controls. The Speakers are really good until you are a die hard fan of 1000 W systems. I never used a CD or USB drive as my phone caters to all my in-car audio needs.
I donno about the situation when there are 3 people in the back seat. But with 2 in front and 2 in rear + standard lugguage in the boot, any long journey is more than just comfortable for a hatchback.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox If you are a Race Maniac then you may have to add a Race Chip or Spider Kit on your Figo to make it a perfect performer. Otherwise for a normal City or Highway use (Cruise speed upto 120 KMPH) the Figo is a good performer on light right foot ( <2500 RPM on highway for 120 KMPH speed & 1700 -2000 RPM for speeds upto 80-90 KMPH)

GearBox is Good to handle and the car returns a decent FE of 16-18 KMPL in City and 21-23 KMPL on highways with AC 90% ON.

Ride Quality & Handling With a perfectly positioned and adjustable driver's seat you never feel lack of control while driving. (Steering Adjustment may be a missing factor for some of you).  Power Steering is really good and you dont need your own power on it (like the Indicas).

Final Words At 4500 Kms - I am very happy about this purchase and is very happy about my dealer for their service ( I heared a lot of bad things about Ford Dealers , but  have never had any bad experience with Cauvery Ford Bangalore and its sales executive Mr Syed).

Areas of improvement Rear Power windows would be a great addition.
