Yesterday I went to a ford show room to check on my friends Fiesta which had an accident. I had an idea of test driving a ford figo also. After going the fiesta i went to the executive and asked for test drive. The car the gave me was titanium the high end diesel model.

Though it looked small the interiors where spacious. Actually it looks more like swift from the inside. The two tone interiors and the dash board gave a sporty look to the car. Dash had the speedo, odo and all the modern consoles which we can find in a modern day car.

I had the car turned on, with out any difficulty i was able to reverse the car and join the traffic. Riding through the traffic was very easy with its power steering,  but the turbo lag some times bugged me as i was used to old model petrol engines. Believe me I was flooring the accelerator in prime traffic yet the car never gave any sign of aggression(try at your own risk). After one kilometre I got a free-way. I shifted the gear and floored the accelerator after the initial lag figo just vroomed to 100 km/hr. Now I can say this diesel engine much more refined than any petrol engine in its class( ikon diesel have vibes even having the same engine).

At 100km/hr I wanted to test the ABS and EBD, i just slammed the brakes vehicle speed got down from 100 to 25. It never skidded and the vehicle was totally controllable thanks for the ABS and EBD. AC had quick cooling effect unlike the ikon and it was quite chilling after some time.

From my point of view this is the best hatch back in its segment. It is a strong competition to the swift, indigo,Vista etc.
