    • 7 years ago | Vilas Wagh

      I am vilas wagh from Navi Mumbai and have been a ford fan for quiet some time. My first car was a ford figo diesel model which I loved a lot. I sold that car and in July 2015 bought the very much talked about ford figo Aspire petrol version as usage was low. I was considering all the options available in this segment i.e. hyundai accent, Maruti Dezire, Tata zest and Honda Amaze. After a lot of research and user reviews and expert views finally decided to buy ford aspire as it was a winner in terms of features and looks and I don’t regret my decision.

      Dezire was equally good but since I wanted to stand out and did not want to follow the herd mentality, I choose to own aspire. We have driven this car for 10000 kms today and traveled from Mumbai to ooty within 3 months of purchase before first servicing. It’s very comfortable to drive and don’t feel the strain on the highways.

      I can write lot of positives but many of my fellow users have written it so would focus only on the negatives.

      1. The pick-up is very low in the second gear. We faced problems in the ghat sections. Had to ride on the first gear. I have driven this car in the hilly terrains of ooty

      (36 Hair pin bends) as well as Matheran hills near Mumbai. Overall the handling is very good on the curves but the problem is: In the first gear only we can feel comfortable. if you shift to second there is a heavy lag. Even if you stand on the accelerator, the car wont go ahead, feels like pulling a bullock cart. I investigated the problem and also spoke to the service centre guys. They said that there was some alignment (Not the wheel alignment) problem with the engine and have rectified it. Post rectification I have felt a lot of improvement in the performance but still have some problem with the pick up in the second gear. My friends who drove this car and are owners of other brands have also felt the same. I am still not very comfortable while overtaking as once you drop below a certain rpm level, the engine takes time to revive.(This is the Major drawback of the car).

      2. Weak Head lights. (Even Ford figo had same problem, I got it rectified from a local mechanic by using a cut out and having high power head lamps.). And it works.

      3. In the Ford figo earlier version, Bose speakers were fitted by the company, which were very good. Now they have used Kenwood speakers which I feel are not up to the mark as compared to bose speakers. Can make out the difference.

      4. While closing the doors, you do not get that refined sound of closing as you get in other cars. The door closes with a thud sound. Which I don’t know is a good or bad sign.

      I am very much satisfied with the Interiors, Looks, and Features. Everything offered is value for money.

      One last thing: I am extremely pleased by the overall service offered by the ford showroom staff as well as the service centre staff in Navi Mumbai. (Cheers to Bhavna Ford in Navi Mumbai). I would give those 10 on 10 for the overall service.

      Exterior Excellent.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Well spacious.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox New car should be driven atleast 3000kms

      Ride Quality & Handling Gear shifting is smooth, engine response is good. City handling is also good.

      Final WordsSimply awesome. Just effortless, you wont get tired driving this car. Drive even at 140 Km/hr and you wont even know at what speed you are at.

      Final Words After all we are all buying a car for the Engine and the safety, others are all useless. In this aspect I chose to buy Ford figo aspire, becoz the company provides 100Ps engine and 2 Airbags in all variants. Trend 1.2 litrs figo aspire petrol .good sedan car,.the starting power need to be improved,lighting need to be improved,they use 55/60, atleast 100/90 to be made.spaces car.abs need to be given in basic  variant.good value for moneny happy motering

      Areas of improvement Kindly provide bottle holder for rear seats.kindly improve the power of lights.

      good style good space good performance nice carlighting power need to be improved,music system is not user friendly starting power should be impro,

      Exterior 

      There is no comparison when it comes to the exteriors...very contemporary design. The front look is very good and gives a very premium feel. The nose is just gorgeous and the lines across the bonnet gives a muscular feel as well.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 

      Descent features, awesome space and very comfortable. The music system is very good and the sound is descent enough.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 

      Feels a bit low of power in lower revs, fuel economy is descent. The gearbox feels good and does the job.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       Superior ride quality and very good handling. Negotiating curves on this car is fun. Did a long drive covering almost 2000 kms and it was a breeze driving the car on highways. Handled very well even at high speeds of above 140kmph.

      Final Words

       Excellent car from Ford India. Hope the car buyers get out of the craze for maruti suzuki cars and try something new which is far superior than the competition

      Areas of improvement  

       Better fitting optional seat covers, ABS on lower versions. Cup holders on the rear seat arm rest. A little more horse power to do the hard work. :D

       

      Very stylish, good build qualityPetrol engine feels a little under powered

      Exterior Excellent look. It does not look like a low cost car. Front chrome grills are awesome.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent interior, good leg space. rear seats are also okay. good leg room in rear but poor thigh support.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Not bad, good for city driving. On highway you have to limit the speed. It cannot accelerate quickly beyond 100 km/hr speed. So other vehicles will be overtaking you. Gear shifting is smooth. 2nd gear again does not give the expected acceleration. You may have to come to first gear while moving on gradients you will get embarrassed.

      Ride Quality & Handling Good ride quality and handling,however there is a good amount of body roll and it is annoying.

      Final Words A good car for short distance  city drive.  The look is awesome, but don’t expect the performance of a high end sedan. You have to remember that it is a low cost sedan. Don’t buy the IRVM with video display from ford. It cannot display anything during day time due to glare. It is very expensive also.

      Areas of improvement Could have change the tyre to 15 inches. Alloys coming with ford are old fashioned.

      Ford has to improve the customer service. So far received pathetic service from ford. Unless they improve this aspect, they cannot sell much.

      Exterior The front end is really Aston Martin inspired with a lot of muscle packed in the the snout but the rear seems abruptly cut off due the the sub 4 meter class tag. Build quality send sturdy with lesser plastic all around.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors look signature ford style. Audio is great. Interior finishing is smooth with black and bright contours.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol 1.2 litre engine is not enough to blow a storm when the gas is floored but response is good and engine nose is not noticeable unless you Rev it real hard.

      Ride Quality & Handling Handling is a little on the heavier side and the turning radius almost as that of a hatchback. As far as city driving is concerned, potholes are brushed aside with ease. The car makes its run for the cash especially on open highways.

      Final Words Will love the car and its performance if not looking for a motoring extravagance. Better than any other sub 4 meter sedan in Indian roads currently.

      Areas of improvement Power output of the ending needs to be improved and improved throttle responsiveness can be a great addition to future models of the car.

      Superb styling with all the latest features packed inPower to weigh ratio needs to be improved

      Exterior Its readdly a nice looking Car. But the body is not that strong, may be Ford is trying to correct their Milage issue.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No Issues. Its really nice and comfortable!

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have done the 1st free service. Fuel economy can be a issue. May be coz I am driving it within city limit!

      Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is really good. Get a hitch on 2nd and 3rd gear.. Rest all fine!

      Final Words Its one of my long awaited Car. Somthing we need to sacrifice. I am a ford lover, so milage surely i have to Ignore and Pickup with 1.2 engine + Sadan it was expected.  So no complaints. I am enjoying it!! Love you ford! 

      Areas of improvement Areas yes compared with Ford Figo vs Aspire. 1.2 is fine PS could have been increased.I have done the 1st free service. Fuel economy can be a issue. May be coz I am driving it within city limit!I have done the 1st free service. Fuel economy can be a issue. May be coz I am driving it within city limit!

      Exterior Crunchy grills will add muscular looks to vehicle

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seats are very comfort. Ample leg room for both front and rare. Interior colors are perfectly matched. Two air bags right from basic model good safty features.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Petrol Engine little under performed when using AC, Real power will be emitted after 2 gear. Engine is very smooth. I drove for about 2300 km till now since I bought on Nov-2015, so enthusiastic to drove for long drives.

      Noiseless-you not even identify whether engine is ON/OFF.

      Mileage-16.5 on highway with AC ON

      Speaker quality can be improved

      Ample boot space 360L

      Transmission tunnel can be made flat ,will make third passenger in rear even comfort

      Ride Quality & Handling Streeling responses very well ,espicially on edges. Engine is very smooth you hardly hear the noise.

      Final Words Good vehicle.Offered premium feature in mid range itself

      Areas of improvement Seat height adjust required from basic model. Right vision issue to be fixed. Can be improved in power for petrol engine vehicle. Wiper in back window. Parking sensors much needed.

      Exterior:  Need to close the gaps as a lot of water can seep in between the door and the frame.

       

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Good no complaints.  I would have prefered to have AC vents for the rear seats too.

       Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox:  Needs more power. 😢

       Ride Quality & Handling: Good😊

       

      Final Words: Overall a very good vehicle.  Makes me proud to own one like this.  I look forward to more long drives this summer.

      Areas of improvement  I would suggest you work on the engine pickup, it has to be able to move faster especially at signals and up slopes.

       I have had embarrasing moments when I had to shift down in order to get the car to really move with the flow of the traffic.

      Water seems to get between the doors and the frame leaving stains.  The same happens with the back boot, there is too much of a gap there.

      Why no remote for the music system?? The glove compartment is very small and could be improved, it also bangs into the knees of the passanger.

      The space inside and the exterior makes it cool to own. The AC is good too.The initial pickup is poor and changing gears is not that smooth.

      Exterior Front grill awesome with the inspiration of aston martin. Sportly look & back lights are increasing the look of the car.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dash board, stearing wheel, instrument panel is fantastic. Night driving is absolutely fun with the illumination light. The gap between back & front seats are very spacious. Music system is very good.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Driven few hundred kilometers & engine and gear box is very smooth & noise less.

      Ride Quality & Handling Very smooth ride quality & Handling. Have driven few hundred kilometers, Vehicle is smooth.

      On highways. Even in city condition the suspension is very good. Steearing is very light in the initial stage & becomes hard at high speed.

      Final Words I was confused in taking this car as compared its competitors, but by seeing the performance the decision of going for figo aspire was right. Pick up is fantastic as compared to its competitors.

      Areas of improvement Ford could have given rear wiper & ABS in the trend variant.

      Very good looking & styleNothing

      I purchased Ford Aspire in Oct-2015 and this is my fourth car. I drove this car for 14000+ KM in last 8 months. I am very impressed with the extreior & interior design and that might be one of the reason why I purchased this car among Amaze, Xcent & new Jazz.

      Exterior Excellent design of front grill and overall balanced design.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is very impressive and pleasant and deep dash board gives feeling of luxury car. Seats are best in class for leg support. Ample leg room space for back seats. 5star for AC and cooling. Front airbags as standard which is very good for safety. 

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy on highways is around 14-15 kmpl and in city 11-12 kmpl. Gear shift/select is very good and ergonomically the gear knob is well positioned. Engine performance is a bit on weak side initially but looks free and responsive after drove 14K KM. But my friends driving xcent and amaze Petrol said aspire is better.

      Ride Quality & Handling Very good ride quality and road grip at higher speed. I drove max up to 150 kmph on xpress-way and found the stability is very good and it can go further +10 kmph speed without any issue.

      Final Words Best in available sub four segment from performance vs price poin-of-view. Dealer service is also very good and responsive till date and hope the same will be continued in future.

      Areas of improvement ABS should be standard feature. Ford should think about introducing LED head & tail lamps. Boot door inside wiring are visible once open which need to get proper fittment.
