No one would have thought the Figo would become such a success story. But it has, and that is despite being based on the last-gen Fiesta platform. It doesn't look exciting on the outside and can't really hide its ageing lines. That though is what the market isn't concerned about, and Ford is managing to push out over 7000 units a month. You are probably wondering how, so here goes. Its starting price for the base version is just under Rs 4 lakh, on-road Delhi and for that you get a 1.2-litre petrol engine that is refined and fairly efficient if slightly gutless. The gearbox is wonderful, body control is excellent and the steering is quite responsive too - in a very typical Ford manner. The 1.4 TDCI diesel with its 68 bhp gives it good bottom-end grunt and decent top whack too. The interiors are pretty spacious and decently loaded, although the seats could have been more supportive. The boot is large and deep enough and that makes the odd out-of-town journey over the weekend comfortable for a family of four. Ford has improved its after-sales service and cost of spares and all of it is helping the blue oval gain credence in the Indian market.
