I like the curves FIGO has and this looks like a mini fusion when looks from behind. front is quite gud with full roll over body. Th eonly drawback in it’s design is a tapered roof at the back. An inch or two more flatness on the curve could change the image of the Car.
Engine is not as peppy as of Swift and Ritz but it’s neither sluggish. the car is gud and best suited to run in any indian city conditions. it’s low end torque is just ok for driving in delhi roads. I TD on patchy roads and the pickup is ok even at speed of 10 in 2nd gear.The gear shift is a bit messy to start on but later on it’s nice to feel the box.FE as per the sales manager lies in 15-17 but considering the engine and others I think it shoud fall somehwere in 12-14 in city. The Figo’s got great big-car feel.
The ride is one of the best in class, good at both low and high speeds. It’s very stable at three digit speeds and you can see Ford’s ‘driver’s car’ DNA in it. The steering is light and nicely weighted for city use, though there’s not much feel at speed, it’s still nice and accurate.
The Figo is one of the biggest B-segment cars in India. It’s longer than the Swift, has a longer wheelbase than the Fusion. Interior space is good, but not great, especially at the rear. Still, the seats make up by being very supportive, and seat height and back support are good as well. Rear seat comfort is especially good and Ford has made good use of the leg room under the front seats
