For once, a solid workhorse gets due credit: Happy Birthday Ford Figo!

Time flies, they say and it sure does. I still remember snagging the Ford Figo ‘s price out of nowhere and posting it right here on ICB and pooping Ford India’s party–snigger-snigger– long before the actual launch happened.

Happy Birthday Ford Figo, and for once a solid workhorse has managed to get due credit.

80,000 Ford Figos are on Indian roads in just a year and a significant number have also been exported across the globe. What then has driven the Ford Figo to such stellar numbers? Is it class topping performance or it is ultra frugal fuel economy? Is it style and refinement or is it handling? Is it a low cost of ownersh
