[@Lincolnator721]

I did not realize Ford had such a worldwide business, wow! - greetings from the U.S.

[@infyvin]

It's been 5years now and my power house never lets me down. Powerful Compact little beauty.

[@balus1990]

Owning this cute little beast now and the pleasure it gives while driving is unmatched, city mileage 14 kmpl and on the highway 17-17.5 kmpl with AC on

[@piyushsohal94]

most comfortable compact sedan i have ever been in. spacious and peppy.

[@ayushsaxena4880]

The perfect compact sedan

[@TruelySaurav]

Firstly you are awesome... I follow all your videos but I fail to understand why you do not put review with night driving experience, it's a major portion of driving. please share the night driving experience

[@deepgeny1]

she earned my respect

[@adityajha4274]

Nice review (Y) , but you have missed to mention acceleration 0-60 & 0-100, Boot Space, Ground Clearance.

[@apurvshukla9166]

Great car I took I test drive of this car and let me tell you one thing this thing is the best to drive in this segment and also the most proportionate and good looking.

[@ravideepsingh873]

I have been drivng the Aspire Diesel Titanium model for about three months now and have clocked approx. 3ks. I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed driving it so far. Excellent acceleration (faster than the Verna 1.6 Diesel!!), great ride quality, wowsome music system, good cabin space, grt mileage (15+ in city, 22+ on highway) and nice looking interiors. howver there has been onedownside to which no talks about. The headlight luminosity is way too poor for a car of such standards. I especially struggle with the high beam as there is a huge dark triangular area between the light beams from the two headlights. It is quite disappointing and i wish some changes could be made to it by the ford guys. for everything else..it gets two thumbs up!!!....(Why does no car review channel talks about the headlight luminosity..i believe it is of grt concern for highway drivers)

[@manurightz]

hmm

[@bha814]

good review, please update us about Service and charges in ford after your 1st service.

[@yammanurusribalaji]

[@2487xyz]

Ravideep Singh change ur bulbs to Philips or Hella 110 clear white. U wnt hv any issue.

[@sadied8795]

Hello Autocar, thank you for the review, covered everything. I am planning to buy a family compact sedan and Ford seems quite impressive, but where can we put Ford compared to other competitors in India in terms of reliability and longetivity, aftersale service, aftersale value, etc. Thanks.

[@maxxmazza1785]

[@PKar03]

Can u review petrol (automatic) ford figo aspire??

[@vashwin1211]

Bought Ford aspire 1.5 TDCI Trend now completing 1 year, I am writing this review. No Issues with the car and it drives great but the main point is about the service. Chennai buyers don't buy any Ford car in Chennai, once if you go to service centre for damn sure I am saying you must visit a psychiatrist after leaving your car to service, They will make you fools. They will not start the work for 1month and even tortoise would do the work fast than the Ford service centre people. Everytime you have contact the customer care and get details for the work progress. Don't ever buy Ford please. Most atrocious service and follow up.

[@senthamilselvanrajendran5321]

File a complaint with ford about the dealership you will get a good response after then

[@THE_RISING_SUN]

[@9876541288]

[@designjacob]

I have using titanium diesel for year now. Completed 20000 KM's service. My clutch and gear shift is a bit tight.. I am getting 17.5 km/l in city and 23.5 km/l in highway. Overall performance of the vehicle is very good.

[@Satz07]

Maam im going for a comp sedan. I am confused between tata zest petrol and ford aspire diesel. My daily travel as 30km and weekend trips to ghat section. Please suggest me one I want to go for aspire diesel.but is there a chance that ford will leave india like chevrolet?

[@manurightz]

Why Only High Variants are showing??? what about Ambiente?

[@mayurbajaj5656]

thanks for the review :)

[@thedailyjugaad]

Hey. Anything about the safety features?

[@deepnx]

Looks best in the segment .. do compare with Amaze and same cars in its class.

[@ekalavyaam4231]

excellent review by autocar ..

[@avi4francis]

Excellently presented.

[@shivibhatia1613]

very few detailing on the safety features, though overall nice review. The car could have been a winner again from FORD though 14 inches could spoil the party.

[@coolatma]

+Shivi Bhatia I guess you could try tyres with more width and height... www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-drives-initial-ownership-reports/169142-ford-figo-aspire-tdci-my-blue-bombardier-flying-low-tarmac.html

[@ranjanreddy3952]

[@Imperial791]

[@vidyanandjha7716]

I want to give a suggestion .. that you should make a video that compares Ford Vigo aspire and Hyundai xcent

[@veerannapoojar5251]

Fine review

[@jerrinjoseph3343]

When will the new aspire will launch???

[@KanishQQuotes]

Benefits of living in Delhi ncr Even fiat has 4 dealers within 20 km . I have the same color, 1.2 petrol I drive occasionally, cars feels safe and secure I grew up driving a palio and this doesn't feel light or tinny. I have the titanium with 2 airbags and phone dock. The only time I need a screen is while doing GPS navigation. Even on highway the car feels stable at 120 kmph The music system deserve a mention... It is rich and clear especially with Bluetooth. The steering is actually speed sensitive so remember to get the steering wheel realigned in case the car goes too out of alignment While the lack of rear seat pockets is compensated by the central tunnel cup holders., I still don't understand why Ford could not provide cup holders in rear armrest.

[@dheerusamudrala]

Automatic version review please.

[@varunshahi9026]

[@MrGnanarahul]

Dear ford figo users please check the metal frame below the dash board and near the gear ,if any oxidation of metal is found then you got a good quality vehicle

[@danishnisar3173]

[@geekvk1816]

titanium + is diesel manual so if i buy automatic petrol which is only titanium so i will get sync or no?

[@droann3007]

[@somilgupta8203]

What about boot space? And just a mention of automatic version, nothing more?

[@niranjanmurthyr7513]

Most people say Ford is best interns of drivebility , safety ,vfm !?!? But now need all u guyz honest input ,, 🙏

[@SARajanGenesis]

Why auto car is not mentioning about the safety features whether it has gone through some test like collision or does this have Airbags? ABS . it is time Indian auto industry matures on safety aspect .make a mention of that aswell on all your videos

[@SARajanGenesis]

+S.A Rajan (Raja) i have read in times of india that aspire has airbags . please make a mention or confirm

Bhavi Pannu Bhavi Pannu Edit Bio • Make Anonymous Write your answer, or answer later 5 Answers Abhishek Arijit Abhishek Arijit, Mech Undergrad, IIT Kgp, Huge LOTR fan BASIC DEFINITION 1. Brake Horse Power (bhp) This is the power output of any engine measured at the engine's flywheel. (A flywheel is a disc with teeth on it. It's connected to the rear of the engine and its purpose is for the smooth transfer of power to the transmission from the engine.) 2. Horse Power Unlike bhp, whp is the power output measured at the wheels. This is the information a dyno run provides and usually reads around *15 per cent less than the power measured at the engine (bhp) - this is because power is lost in the driveline (including clutch and transmission). (Four-wheel drive cars lose between 20-25 percent of their quoted bhp figure because of the increased friction.)

It's very tuff.. I am confused like hell.. Please help me out. Confused between Zest vs aspire vs amaze.. After taking test drive of zest and aspire.. I felt aspire laggy... Where as zest was very responsive in sports and city mode. .. Amaze, I haven't had chance to drive it. . Please help #Autocar india

[@RogueHedonist]

+P.K. Mishra which model did you test drive? aspire 1.5 diesel is supposed to be punchy.

[@p.k.mishra9369]

+RogueHedonist petrol no it was aspire 1.2 petrol... bit sluggish... amaze performed very well.. as compared to aspire. but I was not happy with gear box and interior of amaze. zest was power full though, the only thing which bugs me, is its mileage which is 8-10 kmpl.(revotron)

[@RogueHedonist]

P.K. Mishra Please buy the aspire diesel. it is supposed to be really good for its price.

[@dhiman1021]

+P.K. Mishra dont buy tje zest theres a lot of body rolling

[@bha814]

it depends, test drive Hyundai Xcent.

[@mrmenan6450]

I like the aspire but tyres are too small.

[@li2323003]

Rather cute actually. Rare to find nowadays with all the disproportionally large and slammed wheels. I love the overall design, which is balanced and refined but not tacky (like other cars in the segment with their impromptu trunk designs); small and tall but well poised. They did an awesome job with the back even with the stubby dimensions. I wish to have this car where I live. Its such a handsome, cute, and quality little car.

I have bought an Aspire petrol automatic in October 2016 in Faridabad & have driven it 5,500 kms. Milage is around 9 km/l in city. Worst thing is that there is petrol smell inside the cabin all the times whose reason is still not traceable at V Go Ford Faridabad. Feeling very disappointed.
