Just giving few points of my three months ownership experience of FOGO D EXI Ride /handling


This is a drivers car . May not liked by elderly people due to low seat position and rough ride on concrete road


There is zero turbo lag at intial rpms and feel very confident while driving as,  all round visibility is good and you can point and shoot with its precise power steering . Gear rations also good except 2 nd gear . Till 70 kms have give a feeling that vehicle is moving at very slow speed .Always gives a confidence to move to triple digit speeds!


I have done 4000 kms in three months, provides an average of 15 KMs(90% Mumbai traffic+ 10% highway, 100% AC, auto cut off method)  with tyre pressure 33/34 PSI . average is always depend on how you find the optimal settings based on your car tyre pressure /fuel quality)


Dealer /Service


AVK ford was the dealer and the experience is very good for buying and service . Ford accessories(like any other manufacturer)  are too much costly for the price point. Not worth spending 20 -22k for a Chinese like  stock sound system which gives an average output . same applicable for most of the accessories .


-Ves


More power is expected from a 1400 CC diesel engine and the cost cutting is really visible in few areas . Sound insulation can be better


Overall its a good car to own and its the best value for money car available in market(except mumbai)


Why its not a value for money at mumbai  (Diesel @55, Octroi - For what reason I pay  I don’t know, toll @ 30 rs every where,  , highest taxes / insurance)


So what I am getting. roads which is world worst condition, and not a single km tar road to feel the driving pleasure, Paved blocks to build roads - you can see this piece of engineering only in mumbai . .


happy motoring.
