First pic shows the clear difference of Cost of maintanance between Figo, Swift & Indica

Here is the some of details with Accessories-List. To answer your FAQs for Figo Lovers:

1)should i go for insurance from the ford dealer or should i take it seperately (if possible)

Ans: I got it from ICICI Lombard (11K) incuding 2Lacs co-passenger's coverage. Dealer's insurance will be costlier anyway. All that you need to check is that whether the cashless garage is in your city or not. I found ICICI Lombard is the best option out of all. (Cost Wise and service wise). Dealer was offering insurance from Bajaj Allianz

2) what accessories we need to purchase other than what is aviaable inbuilt(if i go for ZXI model).I need to budget if anything else is required.

Ans: I've taken

a.Car-Body Cover (1600) --- I thought I can't get right body cover for Figo, as its new. But stilll you can get it cheaper. Iam not sure about quality. Ford is one is good.

b. Puncture-Kit ( 1200) and ---- This is not required. You can get same kit for 500/- outside.

c. Neck-rests, Pillows & Seat-Belt pads for 1200 --- If you want "FIGO" name on all these items, get them from dealer

d. Seat-Covers -- 3300. Mandatory. I got them outside. Ford's cost is 8000.

e. Sun Film --- 3500. After registration. I got them outside.Better you get this from Ford. It requires dismantling of all Doors. I'am having problem with rear window glass, which seems to be not fit properly. Bcoz they did it in hurry. Better you get this from Ford itself.

Other than these you may not need anything necessary. Alloy-Wheels could be one option, but costs around 19K.
