Ford FIGO 1.2 Titanium (Petrol) delivered on 29/03/10

Yes the D day arrived.  I reached the showroom around 13.30 hours at Harpreet Ford on 29.03.2010.  My sweet FIGO was standing.  The Sales consultant immediately arrived in the lobby.  In the lobby there was board where the names of persons/companies were displayed whom the delivery was to be done or was taking place.  So my company name was at second number in serial.

I started doing the PDI and during that I found bubbles on the wind screen which was brought to there notice and they started saying that we will change the glass , I told them BIG NO and they said we will change the compelet back door then I said I am cancelling my booking to the GM.  He then started checking the positon in stock and luckily one more vechicle was there and immediately they informed that other vehicle is available.

I again did the PDI for it and found nothing wrong with the vehicle.

By this time already the clock was showing 8 PM.  By 8.30 keys were handed over to me and there was photo session from the dealer also.

I also took around 25 snaps of my FIGO which I will try to post later in the day.

The dealer provided us the 3 litre coupon of petrol free which was to be redeemed at the nearest HP petrol station which was hardly 10 metres away from the showroom.

The executive explained me all the features and then we started our journey back home.

We redeemed the coupon and in addition got extra petrol filled for Rs.500.

By 9PM we reached home and my mom put some ganga Jal on the car and the tyres and then we moved for the temple.

At temple the pandits did the puja and other rituals and by 9.30 PM we reached home.

I parked the car and every one who was passing by were taking a glance at my FIGO and were asking the details.

In my block I am the first owner of FORD FIGO.

Today I got the registration done completed and from tomarrow I will start driving my FIGO.

Planning to put alloy wheels, fog lights and Parking sensors.

Photos man !!!!!!!!!!!

Posting today photos.  Can you guide me should I first do it in Photoshop reduce the size and then post.

Today I took my car for Drive to my office.  I started at 9 AM in the morning.  I started my car and the noise from the engine was not at all heard. I pressed the accelerator and the car moved slowly.  As the car was going through my block every one was staring at it.

Even all the way to my office which is 18 Kms from my home, almost everyone were gving a look to my figo.

The gear shifting is very smooth.  AC cooling is fantastic.  The drive on bummy roads were also very good and the shockers absorbed the impacts very smoothly.

Stereo sound is very good.

I had paired my cell phone with the bluetooth and I even attended one call during driving. Sound quality was superb.

As its new car I kept the RPM upto 1500 and speed not above 40 KM/hr.

But one thing I noticed that its guzzling the fuel, might be due to new car.

I parked the car in the basement and now I am in office.

Now in the way back home in the evening I will take a longer route which is 25 KM.

I am not good at writing the previews so sorry for that. But will try as much details possible,
