    Should I buy one?

    For a premium of Rs 50,000 over the regular Figo, you’re getting the same practicality and set of features, but in a more sorted package, dynamically. With the Figo Sports Edition, Ford gives driving enthusiasts the tool they desire. It finally shows signs of the Ford DNA that seemed to be missing all this while. The diesel engine is a gem – it’s very tractable in the city and delivers an enjoyable performance out on the highway. Even the minor exterior modifications seem to do the trick here and enhance its sporty quotient. The difference, in terms of character, between the normal Figo and this car might not be as drastic as that between the Fiesta and Fiesta S, but it still is a rare mass market car that carries off its ‘Sports Edition’ suffix with aplomb.
