Riding it for 5.5 years. My observations: 1. Mileage : by riding @ 35 kmph, tyre pressure 1 point more than recommended, reliable petrol pump and using brakes wisely I get 48-52 kmpl riding solo. Believe it or not! 2. My wife does not find it a problem to put the scooter on the center stand, I taugh...t her the correct technique. 3. Fell from scooter twice, wife once. Good plastic body - no breakage. 4. No punctures in 5.5 years. 5. But the MRF tyres not good for road grip. 6. Engine is a gem - needs only oil change. 7. Bad dealer and service network. Suzuki two-wheeler division is conservative, stupid and slow as compared to the Maruti Suzuki which is the market leader in India because of consumer-oriented marketing. Why this contrast !?Read More

It is an impossible figure. The best I have achived by putiing 2 points extra air pressure in the tires is 16.5 kmpl. 21 kmpl in Figo petrol is simply impossible. Are you sure the car you drove is Diesel or petrol? Or is it a case of wrong understanding of DTE figure?

What nexg tv is doing is calling people and telling big things about their service of tv channels in your cell phone via the mobile service provider.

100 km per hr seems very incredible for any scooter in India. I have never been able to touch even 60, forget about riding constantly at 70.
I keep the tyre (MRF) pressure at 20 front and 38 rear. ride ate 40-50 km per hr. Getting 50-53 kmpl.

Dear Kover,
It is almost 7 months since you wrote this informative review. Please share with us if the car gives rattling noise inside with tyre pressure of 32 in front and 35 in rear. Do you maintain this pressure level when you travel alone?

Look is subjective. When Maruti 800 came people used to compare it with a matchbox in the 1980s! Just think how popular eventually it became. Over time, we get used to the so called awful looks. If your heart is beating for Ritz, then do not judge it on looks, go for (if not purchased yet) its objec...tive qualities and not subjective looks. Moreover, your own rational requirements from the car are more important than anything else. When I did research for my second car, I evaluated almost all the cars in the segment and decided Figo over Ritz and Swift. I was ready to compromise on Looks, FE (My monthly driving is only 500-600 km by car, for rest, I love to take my Suzuki Access scooter for a spin!) and ground clearance but not on inside comfort and driving pleasure.
So, do let us know, which car you have purchased since then, or planning to purchase. It will guide others!Read More

I doubt how many Maruti or Hyundai petrol car owners are really getting the FE figures the companies quote in city driving with AC on. Look at the reviews of Hyundai i10 in this site site. It is an eye opener. I am getting 12.5-13.5 in city from Figo Titanium Petrol without AC and its is fine with m...e. And, I am an actual owner, not a ghost writer for the company. So enjoy the car and forget about the FE worries.

Dear Nikhil, I guess only 500 km per month running does not justify the extra price of a diesel car and the incremental servvice costs. However, in your avg monthly running do calculate occassional rong distance travel like week end travels, travel to native place also, nou just in city driving. If ...avg. monthly run above 1500 km, go for diesel. Ford Figo diesel is a value for money car. If space, features are not factors for you, can consider Ritz/Swift also.Read More

Hey Amalraj, be truthful, do not joke yar, no petrol hatchback in this segment gives 18Kmpl with ac 50:50, not even Suzuki Ritz or Hyundai i10! Are you sure your have purchased a Figo petrol EX? Pl. do not mislead people on this forum. I am a satisfied Figo Petrol Titanium. I am getting 13 kmpl with...out ac in city on roads with very thin traffic.Read More

Dear Aniket99,
Thanks for your suggestion. It seems DTE is also calculating as per tyre pressure also. Must be intelligent ! But unfortunately, there is nothing to be happy or even stop worrying. Because if u calculate, FE would be more than 40 kmpl assuing the official figure of 15.5 kmpl if t...he car goes 8 km by consuming petrol for only 3 Km! It simply can't be true.Read More

Dear Sir, It is suprising to know that one can move any car, in your case, a diesel Car like Swift, on 2nd gear, even 3rd gear from idle! 2nd gear may be, but 3rd gear?! I will be surprised if anybody else has this experience. In any case, it is not advisable, as the car will knock and stop which is... happening in your Figo.
Second, the title of your review is misleading that is the reason it is able to attract so many readrs! But there is hardly any worthwhile comparison.

Read all the Reader's comment above. My views:
1. GC: Increasing tyre pressure may be an option. But 2 practical problems: Suppose you are going with 4 people in the city full of humps. you have increased the tyre pressure for 4 people. You drop 2-3 people in the way and have to travel another ...5 Km or more. What about the bumpy ride driving alone? Are you going to decrease tyre pressure? Again, when more people come on board, increase tyre pressure? How many times you can do that?
2. What about the suspension system? Will it not be affected by increasing tyre pressure above the limits?
3. Headlights: I found fog lamps illuminating both sides of the road which is helpful. But total light intensity on the road even after the fog lamp is on is the same. One needs to have very good eye sight to drive at night on the highway with Figo. May be RTO needs to be petitioned to increase the limit on the headlamps.Read More

Now a days i can see mud flaps with smaller lengths on Swift. They look as almost integrated to the bumpers. I suggest Ford get smaller size mud flaps designed and manufactured by its suppliers. And, yes, they should be made from virgin plastic and should be soft to take the impact. I have changed t...wo sets of mud flaps aleady. Though took from the dealer, they look like made from recycled plastic.
