Ford Figo is good overall, excpet for the below mentioned factors:

AC Compressor right behind the front grill – very prone to damage even in a minor bump

Sluggish pickup in 1st & 2nd Gear – alomost to the point of engine stalling, very frightening in Indian Cirty Driving & Traffic conditions

Shifting Gears is not so smooth

Low mileage on Highway – only 12 Kms approximately

Low Road Clerance for driving over Bangalore Road Humps – scrapes the Hump very easily if not taken over the hump very very carefully at dead slow speeds

Headlight – not so bright as required

Windscreen reflects the Dash Board that superimposes the image of the Vehicles in front causing co-ordination and distance confusion when maneuvering traffic

I have personally taken up the issue with Ford and the Dealer directly, and they have assure dme to look into the matter and “try” to “rectify” the issue after due testing – hoping they do, if not I have to opt for a change in Car again

Thank you & Regards,

Lates hope with so many manufacturers cashing in on the car market boom that it doesnt end up like the insulation boom.

At least the car makers used to make cars before the boom I suppose………That will be the difference

Funnily enough I think I prefer the FIesta! The updated model before the current one though.

Clearly just a last gen Fiesta.

Funnily enough this would probably be a very competive car if sold in the states in the last couple of years.

Wasn’t this 2nd life Fiesta re-designed by Ford Australia working with Ford of India?
