suspension are smooth and bumpy rides are unfelt 

 

Final Words

Areas of improvement  

none as such diggi space(boot space) is fine also, quality is there is every angle and aspect, sturdy car and too, looks are like a sports car( aston martin)

they should only privide centre ceiling light only, rest everything it has

 door locks should have darts-safety point of view

mine is titanium petrol- city average(13), highway(16)

 

evrything style, quiet and superfine engine, space interiors, solid, sturdy, feeling and pricenone as such but only it should have centre ceiling light

Exterior Yes - Absolutely a Premium Car by looks from the Front view and If a curvey back is provided then no Car in this Segmant can be a Match for this beauty outside and Beast inside

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No Car in the mid sedan segmant can compete with the Features or interiors in this car.

Ex: Once I had a test drive of Ciaz, I felt it is no way near to Aspire interms of Interior looks and AC. Even City/Verna should feel the heat once we talk about the Air conditioning system in this car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 99PS Power - absolutely you will enjoy the long rides and it will make you proud when you are chasing down the bigger rivals easily and comfortably.

In Hyderabad Outer ring road at 170KMPH, this beast showed its real power and what it can handle. I am sure that 1.5 Liter engine with 1498CC is big boost.

Fuel Economy after 7000KMS, 23km/l in Highway and 17km/l in City.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellet and as mentioned above it is the best at greater speeds.

Final Words At 8 Lakhs Price range you are owning better car than Ciaz, City or even Verna.

Areas of improvement NA.

Great looks, Style, Pick up, Interiors and FeaturesNothing found as of now

The search for car had been started a year ago. After going though numerous user and expert review, my need and my budget, I finally concluded that I would be going to purchase a premium hatchback or compact sedan as my first car. My eyes were on Ford Ecosport from long time due to its solid built quality, good looks and high ground clearance. But my wife turned it down due to small size of its boot space. Now I had limited options as 1. Hyundai Elite i20, 2. Maruti Suzuki Baleno, 3. Hyundai Xcent, 4. Volkswagon Ameo, 5. Ford Aspire, 6. Honda Amaze. I removed Amaze from list due to some user review quoted faced bad engine and high NVH. Ameo had great features like rain sensing wiper, anti-pinch glass window etc., but its service center was not present in Jhansi and removed it from my list. My wife removed Elite i20 from the list quoting it has very less boot space (I agreed, but I knew its performance was very good). Baleno was cheaper, very good looking (Unlike Maruti's old cars), good performer, But my wife rejected it due improper seating position of co-driver seat (I disagreed, However I had my concern about its built quality as Maruti had lowered its kerb weight). Both Hyundai xcent and Ford Aspire looked good and xcent has massive boot space. But engine performance of 1.5L TDCi of Aspires won the game. Called the Kanal Ford, Jhansi and by evening they were at my doorstep with test drive vehicle. I had no driving experience but with the help of my friend, I with my family rode the vehicle and every body loved it. The steering is light in the city and it becomes heavy with increasing speed (on highway). My Aspire’s ride quality is very good and suspensions are on comfort side. Almost all potholes and rough patches are brushed off competently. Its look can take away any heart. Performance of 1.5TDCi is well on busy roads but when we move on highway, it shows what a real beast it is. Cruising at 120km/hr is easy with automatic climate control on and 4 passengers on board. Servicing is very good and prompt at kanal ford. Even when I needed to take insurance claim, it was well handled by kanal ford and within 3 days, I got by car back. Pros and Cons:- Pros: 1. Fastest vehicle in its class (Takes only 10 sec to reach 100Km/h). 2. Efficient engine (1.5TDCi) and good ride quality. 3. Looks is excellent. 4. Good safety feature (ABS & Airbags). 5. Good mileage (Ford claims about 26Km/Lt. However I got more than 22Km/Lt on highway). Cons: 1. Ground Clearance (Although its ground clearance is better than all hatchbacks and sedans in its class but while 4 passengers on board, it is not enough) 2. Tyre Rim 14” looks smaller and 15” tyre could be a gem by looks and performance wise.

 

I bought this car on Nov 27th and have driven over 2k till now. Overall the car is well designed in terms of looks, features and space.

 

Except for rear seat thigh support.

 

Exterior

 

Good ground clearance. looks. Alignment of bonnet, doors, squeaking doors.  The body just goes in, even when a kid pushes the door or bonnet. Does not feel sturdy. No CD/DVD player.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 

 Not enough rear thigh support. No 1 ltr bottle bolder.  Squeaking doors and minor rattling around even in a slightly bumpy road.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 

 Sometimes it feels the engine revs more than the power output. The automatic takes off with a rev when pressed feels good to floor the peddle, no lag in gear change. With 17 kmpl fuel economy is good on highway.  

 

Ride Quality & Handling

 

Feels the suspension transfers some part of bumps to the cabin. Rear thigh support makes it hard for long drive for taller passengers.  The handling is pretty good and this is a driver’s car.

 

Final Words

 

Though well-conceived, the build quality of car is very poor. It was not what was expected from ford. The doors and bonnets are miss aligned.

 

Feels the material used not up to the mark. When closing the window the door shakes and moves because of power motors

 

Areas of improvement  

 

Build quality, and  read thigh support.

Ford Figo Aspire 1.2 Petrol MT - Engine RPM fluctuation problem. Car purchased in June 2017. Facing this problem during driving vehicle in traffic / during reverse gear - whenever need to drive in half clutch situation. This Video captured at a traffic signal stop. Accelerator was at zero position. Raised this to Talera Ford Pune dealer and Ford India Technical Team. They inspected vehicle for 3 days and communicated that there is no abnormality found and failed to solve the problem saying it is normal in all 1.2 petrol Ford cars. As of date observed this problem in another 2 Ford petrol cars. Any Ford owner facing same problem? Can anyone help me to identify the possible reason for this?

Bought in jan'16. Driven more than 30000KMs. After lots of research I selected Ford Figo Aspire but not satisfied.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Rear seat not comfortable have less thigh support (comparatively Amaze have comfortable seats)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox What kind of engine Ford has put in petrol version. You get a great boost suddenly above 2000RPM. But will face heavy lag in 2nd gear below 1500 RPM, even if you fully press the accelerator, car will move at a snail's pace. Engine delivers power on its own wish. That's why feel irritated in city driving. Gear Transmission is hard. Comparatively Dezire have smooth gear transmission.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride handling is nice. Low surrounding noise in cabin.

Final Words Think before going for Petrol version. Bcoz of engine lag you will feel frustrated at times.

Areas of improvement Rear seat comfortability, Thud sound of door, Engine lag, Weak Headlight, Need 15" alloy.

These are the cons which we don't expect in this segment. Ford has tried to include most of the features, but can't deliver the quality at this price.

Looks, Features, HandlingEngine, Transmission

Exterior

Looks really interesting (agressiveness combined with elegance) as it has a unique grill (reminds me of good old Ambi) and swept back headlight cluster make it stand of the crowd. Although it is a sub-four meter car, the proportions are best in-class. The side profile looks very sober (chrome door cladding can be added liven it up) - this is where the 14 inch wheels look smaller - 15 inch would look a lot better. The rear looks bit odd (common issue in CS segment) and has been kept simple with horizontal chrome cladding - it has enough luggage space for a small family.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

The build quality of the cabin is one of the best if not the best in the segment. The moment you step into the car, you can realize the amount of space it has to offer, just fantastic. During Indian summer, you can keep yourself and family very comfortable as this car has a very powerful AC - also the Ford technician told me that AC load is distributed between battery (80%) and engine (20%) so driving performance is not compromised. The instrument cluster is small but looks nice and clear with light blue/cyan color - other systems (engine warning, overheating, seatbelt, high/low beam, fogs etc) have different colors. Another major feature is the docking station, which can hold your phone/GPS device for ease of use. The USB and Aux are built into the rare of docking station. The steering mounted audio/media controls are nice easy to use.

There are lot of cubby holes and bottle holders - but none at the rare. The front seats are wide and very comfortable for long trips - recommed to get seat covers for longivity. Both front and rare seat headrests are adjustable.The center console is similar to that of Eco-sport and Fiesta - looks smart and elegant. It has multiple connectivity options - Aux, Bluetooth, USB, Phone book sync/dial feature etc (Ford MyKey and Sync features are available in top end variant). The USB requires FAT32 format or it may throw an error :(. The lights are managed interestingly and has been put seperately on the right side below the steering. The rare windows do not go down completely - 10% remains visible. Rare seats get central arm-rest adding to the comfort factor.  

Overall I like the way everything falls to hand so nicely. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Most importantly, how does it performe on the road? To answer it straight, You will simply fall in Love with the 1.5 TDCi :)

It is not a brand new engine - it has been delivering power to Feista, Eco-sport but has been fine tuned for more power (100 PS) and better mileage. The dirivability and refinement levels are fantastic. It does not hesitate and can easily pick-up in 3rd gear from low as 15 kmph. The amount of torque (215 Nm) available across the rev-range is briliant. The fixed geometry turbo kicks in early (1400 RPM approx) making driving in trafic effortless (giving quick reaction). I have noticed that even you are in 2 or 3 gear and do not press the accelarator, the car accelarates on its own (torque talks here) :). You can only hear the engine when its idling (standstill) or when pushed over 3K RPM - that means good NVH level inside cabin. This engine is matted to a 5 speed tranmission and has short and precise throws - making things more exciting for the driver. In city runs (office - home) with AC on full time, it should return 19-21 kmpl (with light foot) - which is Great :) The steering is light and chunky to hold. It weighs nicely up as you pick up speed. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Ford cars have been known for their ride and handling qualities and this one is no different :) It has been further optimized for Indian roads and makes the car glide over pot-holes or bumpy roads. On highways it behaves like a well oiled machine - stable, composed and poised at high speeds - giving a lot of confidence to driver and passengers. 

The unique thing about Aspire is that it comes with 2 front airbags as standard across all variants (top end gets 6 airbags) - this is the class leading feature in this segment. 

Final Words

If you are looking for safe, comfortable, efficient and exciting to drive car? Well look no further, the Ford Figo Aspire is just for you.

It is so much fun to drive that you may want to drive it on and on and on... :). Although Ford is late to the party (segment already has Maruti Swift Desire, Hyundai Xcent, Honda Amaze and Tata Zest), but after driving the Ford Figo Aspire, I am confident that it has potential to top the list.

Areas of improvement  

I found the outer body/pannel light weight - it virbrates if car audio volume is high (80+%) - this can be attributed to the lightness of this vehicle - just over a 1 ton. The pannel gaps are wide - they could have been reduced. The rare bumper is almost flat and does not provide any cover/protection to boot lid - any rare impact may cause body damage. There is no engine cover (as in Fiesta or Eco-sport) although it has provision for a cover. 

 

Powerful and refined engine, Comfortable cabin, Ride and Handling, Chilling Aircon and SafetyLight body panels, Smaller wheel size

Exterior Good looking, especially ruby Red. Alloy wheels are average, Front grill atracts all.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice looking and spacious, good leg room and boot space. Dashboard is looking nice, however audio control is difficult (selecting a folder/song from USB).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is good responsive and powerful. Gear is little tuff to operate but manageable.

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth rides in worst roads too... Easy to handle the car, in slope engine supports to climb.

Final Words Better car in this segment, Ford service support is worst and quality is poor, if you are ok with that go for thi car.

Areas of improvement Poor quality meterial used in FORD body shop, Customer care always care about Dealers. Worst after sales support. Ford preferred Insurance selected, however dealer denied my first claim stating that without RC insurance cannot be claimed. Ford customer care also supporting dealer and said first 45 days customer risk. I am not sure then why should i insure the car?

* Gives 21kmpl which is goodPoor Body quality, Ford after sale support is worst.

Exterior

 Looks are good. Best in its segment. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Dashboard looks stylish, cabin space good, comfortable for long journey.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine(petrol) is just a looser. It feels like ford installed an autoriksha engine in car. You press accelerator and all you get nothing from the engine. At hills you will find hard to move even with first gear and if AC is on then forget about even moving forward. Engine literally starts begging "Please turn off AC and then push me". 

Ride Quality & Handling

Handling is good. Ride quality is slightly on stiffer side. You will feel bumps entering into cabin. 

Final Words

Just dont buy it and worst is their service. The AC filters are choked in just 3 months and they are telling that we need to replace it. Bad smell entering into cabin with AC ON and they say that we are not able to find out the issue, really!!!. 

The people at service stations are rude and technically incpompetent. 

Areas of improvement  

None, just stop producing shit.

 

Looks, comfort, Rear leg space is adequate.Pick up sucks, Mileage sucks, AC is just more than sucks.
