Value for money...

Exterior: I Saw figo the first day it was launched in Lathangi motors Bangalore, amazed by looks especially the front. Rear side is ok ok, not so great. I feel the car can have more height which gives bit of more stance when compared to other cars of same segment.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): It  is a wow when you sit onthe rear seat loads of leg sapce for rear seat passengers. Bounty is you can fold the back seat to complete flat, this means I can have my two kids or even elders sit or even sleep. driver seat is comfortable close to perfection. Inspite of less height a 6 foot person can comfortably sit in the rear seat without his head touching the room witrh still space left . I am 5' 11" when I test drove fiat linea my head was scrapping the roof. so you can imagine. finally interiors are good though not excellent would say better than swift or Tata visa.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Since its the same engine as that of fiesta diesel the durotorq I assume that I would get more mileage...expecting to be more than 20+ km per lit of diesel the same was told by sales man. Lets see... in 2nd gear with AC on engine was sluggish, without ac it was fine. But certinaly would say drive was much better than swift as my uncle is having a siwft diesel. there was no turbo lag just as in swift. In swift you can feel the turbo after crossing 20km speed. stating dirve was much better to swift diesel. I was satisfied with this performance. AC is too too good.

 

Ride Quality & Handling: Suspension was best in class with the feel of a sedan, I test drove in one of worst roads felt really comfortable with no jumps. Stearing was was and handling also good.

 

Final Words: Good car, real value for money for diesel at this price. no other cars in diesel for this price. Only thing I am worried is resale value. though too early to decide.

 

Areas of improvement: Though too late the height of the car could have been more, rear windown should have rolled down completely, rear power windows is not available even in the highest variant.
