Review: 1st-gen Ford Figo (2010)

Amartya · 9th March 2010, 13:11

Prices are perfectly inline with what was predicted on this forum. Fantastic pricing. If Ford can keep up the momentum from the launch and translate it into sales (which it has a very good chance of), it'll be great for the Indian car buyer.

For those not following the other Figo prices thread -

The more I think about the pricing, the more this seems like a no-brainer in this segment.
The perfect mix of dynamics, diesel power, space (pretty good) and price. The only point of contention can be the styling with some people thinking that the styling is not adventurous enough (seems unlikely though).

WOW, i feel this is absolutely killer pricing from FORD

for FIGO
Great job FORD.

Cheers

Anybody got any information about ex showroom prices in Chennai and expected On Road prices?

This still seems to be unknown.

Good Job Team Ford Congratulations

..Excellent value for money product.
Now you just have to do good Marketing & product support activites to build faith in Ford brand to have a mass product appeal.

Figo has made Polo an expensive buy in a minute.
Better engine+wide spread service centres+less price+may give better mileage.
What else an average buyer wants!

VW may had to do a price rethink quickly otherwise polo will go the fabia way.

Anyone knows if TD has started in NCR?

The car is available for TD at Kairali Ford Cochin tomorrow. (not sure about today). I'm going to take a look tomorrow. I've made up my mind already.

good pricing, any one has bangalore on road prices, please share?

Question for GTO only

Did you drive the figo petrol in Goa?

coldice4u · 9th March 2010, 18:37

The Figo's drive-me-silly pricing sure will upset a lot of plans. Both for the buyer as well for the manufacturers. Buyers can definitely look forward to even more discounts/corrections on a lot of cars like the swift,ritz and the like in the coming months. Why even the Polo & the I20 must be affected. For the manufacturers, the pricing will surely put several companies plans in dilemma. Tata, Maruti, Hyundai et al. I believe even the "luxury" brands Toyota and Honda will have to rethink strategies for their small cars.

Three cheers to competition!!!!

joethomasv · 9th March 2010, 18:39

Looks like Ford revised the service schedule intervals:
First service at 3 months/2500kms
Second and subsequent services at 6 months/1lakh kms.
The fiesta's service is every 6months/10000kms right?

Hope both the petrol and the diesel have the same schedule.

Brix · 9th March 2010, 18:46

Thanks Kiku !

I would probably drop into the showroom this evening and ask for the TD.
