What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

The little Figo is more than agreeable and in a way is managing to stand on its own two feet, away from the Fiesta on which it is based. There's just enough tech in it to keep it relevant and fresh by today's standards and the new engine should prove to provide many years of hassle-free motoring.

What is the Ford Figo like inside? 

The Figo is a budget-friendly product, so do not expect leather and an abundance of soft-touch surfaces, but rather cloth seats, a variety of plastic surfaces and basic features that are expected from a vehicle in this segment.
