Hi Gemi,
Congrats on the figo! , the red color looks too good, I can buy the car just for the color ;-) have a great time with her.

Great choice gemi, congrats!! so does that mean the adventure is sold?

Wow, that was fast! Congratulations on getting another four-letter F-word in your life

Is this the TDCi or the Duratec? Apart from comparing with the Adventure, I want to know how it compares to the Fusion.

- Great driving position even without adjustment

Congrats gemi. Wish you miles of happy driving in your new FORD.

Driving position is one thing i liked a lot when i went for the test drive. Did not really feel the need to adjust anything there. However, the opinion might be different for a person with a different physique.

Congrats Gemi. Yes - pictures please. Especially since its the Red. Do take indoors, outdoors and everything in between.

Why did you choose the Exi. The Zxi was only 20K more. Are you planning the BT as an aftermarket accessory?

Also let us know if the bottle holder exists.... .

xingamazon · 19th March 2010, 12:22

Wow thats pretty quick...

congrats Gemi, do tell us more about your buying experience, I am interested to know if the attitude of the dealer has changed for the Figo or is it still the same as commented before on Ford's dealers..

Addtionally, when are you going to post pics of your car. Give us more insight on what factors affected your decision compared to the other cars in market now.
