Figo diesel, my true experience

Hi friends, before buying figo please read my review, bought figo diesel in march 2012, I have driven the car more than a year and completed 21000 kms and following is what I feel.

Bad first,

Engine noise - -engine noise is irritating to our ears, some kind of whoom noise. I had JBL standard speakers 2+2 with good bass effect. if we play the music when engine off, we can hear the full effect of the speaker but if we hear music when the vehicle in running, 60% of the effect of speaker mixed with engine noise, that is whoom noise and taste of enjoying music should be gone completely. Within 10 minutes we will stop the music as the mixture will create headache and pain to ears mainly on front seats. So I am enjoying my music system only when the engine is off.

Stearing is very heavy sometimes. we feel lack of power on engine sometimes because when pressing the accelerator feels that we are driving a heavy vehicle. other days it run like other competitors.  on rough roads tyre sound is audible into the closed cabin.

Getting a jerk while starting and stopping the engine and with ac on when not in running. I had driven punto and polo of my friends nothing feel like jerking while starting and stopping the engine. Getting in and out is difficult.

Brake: brakes are the worst in figo, thinks that the brake shoes are small which is not good to stop the cars. If we are driving the vehicle above 80 to 100, WITH 4 OR 5 persons loaded, if any situation we apply sudden brakes the car will not stop, by applying full brake car reduces it whole speed but moves closer to the front object. So if fully loaded please maintain a big gap between any moving objects. Polo disc works like a ABS, not sure on other cars.

Suspension: soft suspension is fine for 2 to 3 members, if with 5 members, the suspension presses its maximum and as the result total car pressed down and on bad roads everything will hit into our body. My family sitting at back complained and asked me to go very slow to avoid the hit. Punto suspension is hard so it will jumbs on bumbers but on bad roads nothing will feel inside. Polo very nice suspension feeling that we are in Volvo bus.

Good things.

Good space matching with liva, i20, vista.

Good ac,

Front visibility is nice,

Good Boot space,

Nice gear shifting.

Dash board usage. We can keep some items on the dash, it will not fall.

Back side passengers seating comfort.

Fuel economy on highways: got 28kmpl while driving at 60 to 70 in single person. City mileage will varies according to driving style.

Low on price

This is my first car and fun to drive machine, not bored for long drives so I loved my car very much neglecting all the bad things.
