        Figo is realy a very good and spacious car its nice that ford is giving some of the features like tilt steering, USB port for the 2-DIN audio system and standard alloy wheels.but still rear power windows, rear spoiler with led, rear fog lamps, option of auto transmission and sunroof, option of 6 airbags, integrated turn indicators on mirrors with…[Read more]

        Its better to go for the basic diesel model and get the accessories installed as its cheaper and better.

        Is Ford Planning to do something for the Rear Window. I had a word with dealer and they said all the dealers have complained Ford about it but they said it is the way most american cars are. They need to understand this is not America..this is India….

        Titanium does not come with Fog lamps by default. You have to add fog lamps as an accessory.

        Simant Mohan Prasad i dont think it’ll sell at all at this high price bracket .
        the trump card for the figo is its price .
        and the perfect value for money package .
        you mess with it, and it is a total flop .

        though i do agree that the rear window must roll down fully .
        you are absolutely right there .
        but i personally think that power window can be done without minus the 20k less cost .
        I HOPE WITH THE NEW FEATURES IN THE TITANIUM, FORD PLEASE DONT INCREASE THE PRICE .
        OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT BE ATTRACTIVE AT ALL .

        Aanshul Verma its still a flop. I do not see the sale as compared to others…
        It needs a complete make over. If they add all those features and then increase the price it will never be a flop. Moreover if you think it will be a flop then I do not agree.

        Simant Mohan Prasad no brother . high price is a very big deterrent .
        at a higher price no matter what ever ford does as a value addition it will not sell period . i’d rather buy a nissan sunny or any sedan or even an i20 premium or even a basic verna .
        at a higher price it will lose the game .

        Punto already has it [90BHP] but its made more for city rather than highway.
        We still need a car for highway. Now everyone cannot go and buy BMW M5 and Boast around. My Point is can we have a small car with following facility

        68 bhp makes liva stand in line with Figo diesel, so sufficient power… mileage of 23.59 kmpl means, on-road, we may get 18-20 kmpl… and its a proper 5 seater. only if you ignore some bad plastic bits, the car is a promising buy.

        Etios is an ugly looking ripped off vehicle and the same applies for Liva… Manza offers an unmatched 90ps wid class interiors… The petrol engine was too noisy.. I think the diesel version would suppress a bass tube easily and unbearable vibrations… Ppl who bought etios are not xactly happy customers… Its a cheat on brand name…

        The exterior of LIVA is good but the interior is too worse, as compared to any INDIAN hatchback!
        Toyota made a great car but due to interior it’s proven that TOYOTA doesn’t have experience in developing interior for INDIAN consumers!

        My Alto K10 gives 68ps of power out of 1000cc and only 760kgs. So power to weight ration is best in the class. And I get video games like control steering and maneuvering this car. On road priced me about 4 lakh. Of course with 2 wiper string not single as in Etios :)

        or even with a Ford Figo . And in this case the Liva’s engine will come and sit on the front seat .
        i have a Fiat Punto and my elder brother has a Ford Figo .
        And I love both the cars .
        It’s like best of both worlds .

        If any one needs to buy new fiesta pls go for verna fludic.

    Ford Figo faces slowdown on rising interest rates

    Sales of the Ford Figo have been steadily dropping since January. From January to March Ford sold an average of 8,400 Figos a month, but from April to June the sales have dropped to an average of about 5,700 Figos a month. That’s about a 32% drop in this quarter compared to the previous quarter.

        @jyoti, Yes u are right,ford used all the body dyes from a older generation fiesta and also used the existing engines, just that they made it economical and gave a new name! They created a lot of HYPE, but all the initial euphoria they created is now coming down……….
