Once again I am back with 10 K after 2nd service. Its been very Good experience for last three plus months with figo diesel and had done lot of trips to chennai -(every week) and tanjore , Hokengkal etc. Its an absolute pleasure driving with no issue all the way .
Top speed 162 KM I did and Still the car was stable untill 150 Plus
Mileage - highway 20 plus @ 110-120
21-22 if I drive at the optmium power band range -2200 to 2400RPM which reaches 90 KMPH
City mileage : 15 Plus is what I am getting and expected to improve
Whose ever drove along with me felt very comfortable on the Longer runs
After sales service Will be an issue - last week back on my way to tanjore I checked my engine oil and its close to min (forget to TOP up after 6000 KM ) and not able to get ford specified oil for which is stopped almost 10 places. During 2nd service I checked same with ford and they confirmed we can go to any ford center for engine oil check and they will TOP up freely - thats good news
I bought EXI version which is very good and all the features are useful
AC- Too good
Key less entry
Boot - remote opening - Trust me its very Useful
electronic boot open - Push button - If you have regular security check then realize how useful this feature is
Audio - FOR OEM it is very descent
Some rattling sound at the back suspension when car land in pot holes and irregular Surface which is issue and same rectified
DONT GO BY THE REVIEWS JUST GO BY WHAT YOUR HEART SAYS
and if you drive exactly you know what you need and its always helps
for both the services I paid close to 2000 /service and we will know from now onwards
Ford gave 3rd year extended warranty which will be useful
INTIAL REVIEW
H iguys
I am not a car expert and but I did my basic research before buying and it took almost two months for me to decide.
Cars considered -i drove easily 2000 to 2500 Km every month I planned for go for diesel and considered
palio -by time I planned and it was my first option due to Mutlijet engine , comfort ride handling and solid Built
My march palio prod stopped and I was not able to get any car in month of april
Swift- same engine as vista and palio and with no leg room (by the way I am 6.1") I need to pay extra 70 K for the same car even though car is good
Vista quadrajet - almost I decided and did TD for 35 Km -satisfied with performance .still had some thing bothering about tata product - then comes ford figo diesel
As soon as did TD I know I am going to buy this car .
Looks are not great but I would say bold - and that what I need
everything is good about the car and driving is good compared with vista and for 5.5 on road ford made lot of sense
i took this car on 4th june and have drove around 1100 K from chenni to bangalore
highway FE -18/19 km
city - 15/16/km
less turbo lag makes you feel good in bumper to bumper traffic and brakes are not soild and loud for this car . I am not confident
i kept my car around 2000 rpm with 80 KM per Hour and noise levels on highway is very less at that speed and one would feel they are cruising
will post more once 1st service is done
