Amazing!! Best diesel hatchback in its segment
Good Vehicle to drive , affordable maintenance , Go for it, safe vehicle,Braking system excellent ,
Model 2013; Figo Titanium 1.4 litre DuraTorq Diesel. Clocked 75K kms till date.Car is pretty robustly built and is reasonably engaging to drive. And there ends the good things about the car.After-sales services are the worst with Ford. Spare parts are extremely expensive and service centers have damaged my car multiple times when given for periodic maintenance !! E.g., once they broke the rear left side ABS sensor. Another time they broke the plastic cowl beside front bonnet. Another time, they broke the hood latch handle (plastic). Yet another time, they screwed up the ECU (after some update) that, while driving back from service center, the car went into limp mode. Another time they screwed up the wheel alignment (after suspension replacement). Once they misplaced the carpet and till date never bothered to give me a replacement or pay me money! Once they painted the front left fender and it had a massive over spray!Once I was overcharged by 1800 Rupees and settled that during another visit to same service center 2yrs later!!Mind you, all of these were from different Ford service centers across South India. Not a single one gave me a 10/10 service in the first attempt.
Overall i like my car as this was my first new car, After 7.5 yrs(67, 000 kms) still feel like new car when car comes back from service no vibrations or no worn out feel inside the car, Very good sound system, Mileage is ok i am getting 15km in city for my style of driving, This was the vehicle which comes with full packed features for less cost in that segment when i bought, Some cons are there you will feel lag in highway when you suddenly applies break, Poor ground clearance, Ford service is good but you wont get bills very cheaper as they mention in tv adds i have all 7yrs service bills.
I bought the Ford Figo 3 years back and it still seems to be as good as new. Maintenance costs are reasonable and to say the actual quality of the car itself is very strong and sturdy so need not worry about the safety.For the mileage part, I receive almost around 23 kmpl on highways and around 18.5 kmpl on mixed day to day commutes.The styling is something I am in love with but wish I could have some projector headlamps and DRLs to go with it.A bit sad about the lack of accessories available from the company and 3rd party vendors. Doesn't seem much popular among them.
I call it a budget rocket.Figo 1.5 is the best car in all aspects.Best in the class engine, Superb mileage 22-24kmph with ac on.Very low maintenance and first-class ford service.Powerful and frugal.Best handling in the segment.A strong body ensures a safety turbocharged engine.Awesome interiors and an awesome audio system.Worth every penny you spend on it.Cons: to improve: seat split, Boot space, Alloy for a spare tire, Digital display, Android auto, Little more ground clearance.
Very practical car.....it's like planted to the road..... even at 150 speed you don't feel any vibrations......thought of changing of car, but there is no such car available. Figo deserves 5 Star ratingaround 3500 is the yearly maintenance (regular servicing).... My scooter (hero pleasure) costs me around 6000 maintenance per year and it gives a max of 20-25 kmpl..... Compared to scooters nowadays car maintenance is very easy
