| ![]() This Diesel vs Petrol calculation is correct. As said by many fcars doing lesser kms the best option is petrol. But when you do a tank fill for petrol - your heart comes out, but that is not in the case of diesel. Since buying a car is one time investment, generally we do not think after that. Fuel filling is a recurring expense and we feel the burden at that time. As said heart overtakes mind at this time. |

| ![]() Took a short Test drive of Figo Diesel today at Metro Ford. Figo is impressive and I feel it is a VFM Car. Something which is designed to do it's job flawlessly. 1) Brakes have good bite. 2) Horn had to be depressed hard to make it work 3) Excellent & direct Steering, a Ford trait (I drive an Ikon) 4) Don't expect earth shattering performance. Engine is very smooth and the Power delivery is linear. It is not as punchy as a Multijet in Swift 5) Handling - Excellent, again a Ford trait 6) Footwell is not cramped like in a Punto 7) Spacious boot 8) Cabin feels very airy thanks to the generous glass area 9) Doors does not close with a "thud" but a "thunk", personally didn't like it but then it feels well built and solid but not as good as a Punto. 10) Interiors are pretty simple & functional but some plastic parts looks & feels flimsy 11) Rear legroom seems to be lil better than a Punto 12) Cabin seemed to be well insulated, very less intrusion of Engine/Road noise. Overall a no-nonsense practical VFM hatch. Should do well if Ford marketing does it's job well. Will it displace Swift from the Numero Uno spot? Well not really!! Unfortunately not all Indian car buyers are Team-bhp members and for them what matters most is better FE, Resale value & Cheaper A** and Maruti has the odds stacked in it's favor. But I feel that Ford has put in a stupendous effort to take the game to Maruti and eventually it will benefit consumers ![]() OT - I still don't get why Maruti fails to offer a Swift Diesel with Airbags ![]() Last edited by lloydofcochin : 13th March 2010 at 00:57. |

Believe me, All of the Bhagat ford dealers are very professional, prompt & polite. They are the best that we have. They also got showrooms of Volvo & Hyundai with them. Anyone who bought a car from them knows about it. | ||

| ![]() [quote=The profit will come over 60000 KM's (at Rs 15 per km). If someone drives 1000km per month, that's 5 yrs after which diesel would become profitable. And maintenance is higher on diesel. However, this does not take into account things like driveability which for FIGO is said to be better in diesel.[/quote] Hey nobody is taking into account the Higher resale value the diesel will have over petrol.I think the petrol will fetch poor resale on account of its ordinary engine and guess 50,000 rs may be saved at time of resale after 5 yrs. |

| ![]() I'm surprised there's not been much said about the technology features of the car. I mean, which hatch in India gives an integrated stereo with bluetooth at 4L rupees. The other features like DTE, electronic assisted ORVM's (comes only in the estillo), speed sensing volumes, auto-unlock on ignition off etc are amazing at the price point. I haven't seen a more feature rich car at this price point. For drivers like me for whom comfort and convenience features form a big part of the driving experience, the FIGO is a killer app. Any comments about the OEM that comes with FIGO? GTO mentioned that BASS is not up to the mark. I tried it out (with FM only), but really couldn't test it out with a variety of sounds. |
