Value for money

Exterior

 Stylish new design, attracts attention

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Biggest boot space amongst all hatches, good leg room, good music system, auto central locking above 7 kms/hr,

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Have driven 100 kms, yet to count fuel efficiency. Even at 16 km/lt and diesel@ 41, it is better than petrol cars which give 8-14 km/lt and petrol @ 54. Engine refined and gear box smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Handles well, despite sedan like design, visibility for driver is good for driving judgement.

Final Words

 I have a swift diesel and am well placed to compare both. The swift engine may be more fuel efficient, but thats the only benefit. Otherwise, maruti is fleccing customers in giving less space, features at a much higher price. Maruti dealers will tell you ford is exepensive to maintain, but they are already charging 50 k more than figo initially, so its the same at the end of the day. Overall, except for fuel average, figo looks ahead of swift and ritz. No music system & remote entry in both marutis. Swift 4 months waiting or 30000 premium. What monopoly!!! Maruti should stop producing alto, a-star etc and make only swift to stop this waiting period.

Areas of improvement  

 

 Rear windows manual.
