My First Car: Details on Choosing this Car
Ford Figo

Hello Sachin, Ritz exterior looks are not good, especially in rear-view. This is my personal opinion. If you like its exteriors, then I think it has got the same engine as Swift and may give more milage than Swift. Cost is also same as Figo. Its your call to decide based on the comparison ...of features.Read More

My First Car: Details on Choosing this Car
Ford Figo

Guys, Just wanted to give an update on driving experience and FE: After first-service, Iam getting around 19-20 KMPL with AC-ON all the time in mix of Highway and City traffic conditions. Its real pleasure to drive this car. Mp3-player with bluetooth rocks!! But I noticed few minor prob...lems during this 4 month-period. 1. There is some noise on applying partial-brakes, when vehicle is at low speeds (<10KMPH). I got it inspected at service-center and they said it is normal. Iam not sure if it is the case with other cars. 2. I noticed some noise from rear-seat on bumpy roads. I got it rectified at service-center once. But it seems its not resolved completely. 3. Ground-Clearance seems to be little-bit problematic. I have to drive slowly & very cautiously on big-speed breakers. Iam sure its not too different for other cars like Swift's ground-clearance is 2mm more than that of Figo. 4. Rear-Windows slide-down themselves on run in two-three days time frame. I reported during my first-service, but I couldn't show them on the spot, they verified it and said everything looks fine. But this problem persists. I have to verify every two-three days to see if they get slide-down and close them before I go for drive. 5. Sometime engine makes lot of noise for some time, irrespective of driving-conditions or climate-conditions. I noticed this very frequently when the vehicle is kept idle for few days (3-4 days). Iam not sure if any of these things are happening with other Figo owners too. Please comment.!!!!Read More

Thanks leoramc, vpadiyar for our comments!!! shiwach, I drove about 1000 KM. Till now I didn’t find any problems as such. Vehicle is very much stable even at speeds > 120KMPH and you hardly notice either road-noise or engine-noise. Total Cost of Service Maintenance for 1,00,000 KM ...(10 years) comparison for Figo, Swift, Indica-Vista: Figo - 30932 Swift - 39423 Vista- 36898 Cost includes Parts and Labor Charges. I have a photo-graph showing the break-up for each service-cost. I don’t know how to post it here. You can find this comparison sheet now at Ford-showrooms. There is misconception that Maruti is cheaper in maintenance when compared to other cars. But this is not true, as all new generation cars come with advanced engines, which will cost more anyway.Read More

Help me to choose right car !!!
Ford Figo

Even I had Same confusion in making choice between these two cars. Please read my review. http://www.mouthshut.com/product-reviews/Ford_Figo-925593185.html For swift You've to pay 50-60K for same set of features. The initial price-difference will pay you off the difference in maintenance-cost (...incase if it is there). You get hell lot of features with less-price. This has got well-proven Fiesta's Engine. Claimed Fuel-Efficiency is 21-22 KMPL after first and 2nd-service, but depends on lot of factors. Don't think about resale value, when you are buying. Iam sure, you'll love driving this car compared to Swift. It is absolutely driver-friendly car. Go With Figo !!! Lastly, If you don't use it for more than 1500KM/month, then I would suggest you to go for Figo-Petrol, bcoz on-road price difference is ~1.2 Lacs.Read More

I have been doing extensive research on all available cars in 4-6 L since past 3-4 months, since this is my first car. My requirement was diesel car with good exterior-looks, feature-rich and of course good fuel-efficiency(Milage). I had various choices, as mid-car segment is recently flooded wi...Read more

Figo - Better If Not best option car!
Ford Figo

Even I completely disagree with @Analyzeit. It seems, you belong to sales-team of Ford competitors. The quality of interiors & plastics is best-in-class, its much better than Swift.

Ford Figo - value for money
Ford Figo

Congrats!! on getting new Figo. I completely agree with you, all feature-list (with some limitations) seems the best choice for this cost. Though Swift is proven car, it costs 50-60K initially. I think this amount will be sufficient for maintenance costs difference, when compared with other cars.... I've been doing extensive research since last 2-3 months for 4.5-6L range cars, finally I was left with two choices. Swift-VDi or Figo-ZXi 1.4. I decided to go with Figo and booked it last week. Hopefully I'll get it in this week. I'll write in my review.Read More

Thanks for Review. 18-19Kmpl at initial stages sounds good to me. I've also booked Figo 1.4 ZXI Diesel. Hopefully I'll get it in this week. I'll post my review too. Figo-Accessories seems to be little-bit costlier and obviously you won't get them outside.
