I was planning to run a PDI check before I handover the cheque and give a go ahead for registration.

I will give VW a few days to come out with a detailed statement regarding the issue and the fix.
If nothing happens by next week, I will cancel the booking and go some where else.

And they are suggesting that I either take the higher Trend model or the new Figo instead.

I really need the car before the 21st - so what recourse do I have to get the delivery on time.

Check out a different branch of Cauvery Ford, quick search shows they have three branches in Mangalore. You could also try & ask them to shift your booking to their branch at Mysore or Shivamogga if they have the variant you want in stock & if it is really urgent.


If you don't mind foregoing the extra 100liters of boot space why don't you check out the Figo perhaps the Trend variant maybe on par with Aspire Ambiente. :)

Its 2 outlets of the same dealer.
And figo would not be an upgrade for me. There is also the problem with the rear headroom.

Anyway, they called me after I posted this on Facebook and offered to speak to the dealer. The dealer called me 10 min later and offered me the orange colour instead of ingot silver. But that colour is not acceptable to any one in the family.
So my problem is still not solved.

What about Metro Ford, Bangalore ? You can ring them up and ask them if they have a silver ambiente (petrol/diesel?) in stock. I am only suggesting this since your are keen on getting the car by 21st! :)

I had been to Metro Ford 2 weeks back and they had a black colour car. I'll still call and check tomorrow. But then wouldn't it effect the service experience, as i have to depend on Cauvery Ford for that. Bangalore is 400 km away.

Cancelled the Ford Figo Aspire booking with a heavy heart even though it was love at first sight. The launch of Ford Ecosport Facelift made it quite within reach and this was difficult to ignore.

Congrats dpkbehera
I may be wrong, but seems like you are the first BHPian to book the Ecosport Facelift on the forum.
