Ford Figo

Exterior The exterior gives you a Mini SUV look , but should have been till more taller, so that city buses can notice it 😇 The tail lamp is sexy whereas the front lamp kills the beauty. The paint quality is bad and turns yellow if you dont go for 3M paint protection. The door handle isn't smooth and opens with a jerk.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Bluetooth Radio Speaker Phone etc are OK but dashboard, seating need improvement. Even EON has better interior than Figo 😷 . Driver Seat adjustment is a gimmick so is the tilt steering.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine stops performing on slopes. Fuel Economy - 8-9 kmpl in city. Gearbox is cranky and lacks refinement 😢. Beginners will have tough time adjusting to the gear ratio. The engine stops at slow speed.

Ride Quality & Handling Power Steering is heavy and need extra energy if you are used to Honda or Hyundai cars. Handling is not so great thanks to heavy steering and hydraulic power steering . Side Visibilty is poor and window beams are obstruction to side view through front glass. Definetely not a beginners car 😱

Final Words Buy it only if can feed it . 45 Litres gets empty before a 400 km ride 😵 . Biggest mistake of my life . Should have paid a lac extra and gone for swift or ritz.

Areas of improvement The engine need to be changed to improve fuel efficiency without compromising on power 😕.
