Although 185/60/R14s would be technically OK but I don't see any real benefit in terms of ride quality and GC. |

I've had only one puncture so far and that too because a nail got stuck into the tyre (it was a tiny little puncture and the air pressure was going down only gradually). I can't generalise things here. I can only say that my experience has been good (and yes! the roads my Figo has been running on are quite decent that reduce the probability of punctures!) |

Thanks a lot for the information. I have another question regarding the spare parts price and service cost for Ford. One of my friend is using the old generation Figo from last 5 years and as per him the spare parts and maintenance for figo diesel is too high than that of Maruti and Hyundai (He owns a Grand i10 and Ford Figo 2011 model). Now I am confused that should I go the the new Figo or should I stick to the Marutis and Hyundai only as I do not want to have a huge service bill every-time I enter the workshop. Please someone help me on this. I am looking for some information on service and spare parts cost for Figo Diesel. Thanks in advance. |

Cost of Upkeep & Maintenance Cheap. In an effort to get rid of its tag of "Ford maintenance is costly", Ford revamped their service pricing for the entire range with the launch of the Aspire. Now you can know your service bill even before you keep the car for service. My 2nd service cost me just 1500, including oil change. |

I've tried to document the service costs of my Figo TDCi as much as possible in my ownership thread. You can check it out : http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...ml#post4063618 P. S. : My service costs also include the additional /optional services I go for at the Service Center like WA/WB, ahead of schedule replacements of Air filter /AC filter etc! Also, my brother has the Swift diesel and he concurs with the view that Figo's maintenance costs are no more costlier than the Swift's!! |

I can see from your post that you have stretched your service intervals quite a bit.(20800km vs 20000 km). Won't Ford protest in case of a warranty claim? How much safety margin do we generally have for a 10000km interval? |

Guys, I have my Figo scheduled to be serviced tomorrow (20K KM - 2nd service). Just wanted to ask, what are the things that are must to be done in this service? Apart from the regular I have to get the following things done: - wheel alignment and rotation - minor squeaking sound from Front Passenger door panel (when someone keeps an arm on the armrest) - paint touch-ups for bumper (don't know if this will be carried out or not) |
