I appreciate all the work you have done Mustang.
Proof - I booked the diesel today. This thread and the prices thread has motivated me to do so. Not Ford Marketing or any other factor. |
Thanks & congratulations brix.

Is it a scroll or piston type compressor?
Also, if this is Ford's prefered strategy then will the more expensive Fiesta twins also get this. |
I can however tell you the reason why its being used, there are 2 reasons:
1) India's one damn hot country
2) Keeping uniformity of parts in inventory that can be fixed on multiple ford vehicles (figo,fusion,fiesta) , this helps us to lower prices of these parts even further.
3) keeping logistics simpler & more efficient for the company & its dealers
Now whether the compressor is piston type or scroll type, well i dont know about it as i am actually not much into this.
Well, about the new fiesta twins, i cant comment on whether this will be the same compressor or not but i will let you know once i come to know about it.

What other engineering bits have been improved upon in the Figo? |
Well i never said that its better than the fiesta, However the compressor & the blower motor is the same from the fiesta, hence the figo ac & the fiesta ac should have equal cooling effect.
Well, i wont be telling you about the improvements/modifications in the figo as some people here do get offended by the stuff i tell which is not known to others & if they complaint against me even one more time then it means that i would be banned from t-bhp.

I see that the Fiesta 1.4 TDCi EXI is BS-III in the website.
The showroom person to whom I talked to mentioned that the Figo was BS-V or something. I was stumped. Probably she meant that BS-V will come in 2050 and its ready till then. |
All Figos are BS IV models. All current fiestas in stock are BS III models.

In fact thats a factor which is making this thread more interesting read than the Polo thread, as people have doubts but there is no one to answer. I know you must be checking the thread day in and day out and answering our queries.
Hats off to you guys for your contribution. |
Thank you, I appreciate it a lot.

Nothing new is required for the vehicle, Your vehicle performance will be the same as it is currently. Also i advice people here to not use additives like system G & system D for ford vehicles as this is strictly not recommended(by ford) for your vehicle & if detected may void the warranty of your car.

Ford would be really dumb to hike prices so soon. And the road tax hike goes to the state govt. Dealer does not gain anything out of it. I would suggest you visit the yard and see if they are stocking up for yourself. |
There will be no hike in ex-showroom prices for the figo by the company.

Ford have started production in February so they have nearly 10k cars ready, but why are not they delivering it? |
You were supposed to get your car delivered within 4 days & today is the 4th day, what did your dealer say about this?

That was one of our plant vehicles.

Our insurance partners(from what i know are)
1) Bajaj allianz
2) IFFCO-TOKIO
3) ICCI Lombard <--------- Sucks to the core!
Go for either bajaj allianz or iffco-tokio, ICICI will cause a lot of problems during a claim.
Also inform your dealer that you dont want ICICI during your booking & tell him to note it on that booking slip as once your covernote comes then you cant do anything about it.
