| Congratulations! Its amazing you bought the diesel for "pure driving pleasure". Its true that there's only one "first car"! Buying a Figo really is a wise decision considering the entire package, i even managed to convince a friend to get one  Can't wait to drive it. Do post some pictures of the interiors. What colour dash did you get? |

| The first scratch Sorry for the delay in uploading the pics guys. Actually I was busy in getting married and an extended leave after that, hence the delay. Anyways here are the pics of the RED DRAGON. Not all pics are soothing to the eye. Yesterday took out the car after about 15 days or so and went for a movie. While taking it out of the BIG Cinemas Chinchwad parking lot, the left rear wheel arch got scratched  I am a new driver and am very catious while parking her at tight spots, but last night was a real tight spot and I was in hurry. The scratch is about 15 cms long and the paint has been scraped. The sound that came out when she scraped the concrete pillar was my heart breaking into zillion pieces, I got out immediately to check the damage and I was literally crying !!! Please let me know how much would it cost to get it repaired and suggest me any good denting/painting garage in and around Aundh in Pune. Would it be better to get the scratch fixed during the first service? Apart from this she is performing brilliantly. I am able to get a mileage of around 15 in city with A/C on 100%. Have not taken her out on the highway yet. Now that I am being able to keep her in the right powerband the car is simply a joy to drive. The engine is at its best on the 4th gear at about 2k rpm and speeds of 70 kmph. At all her glory  Got to get her cleaned  The uninspiring but proportionate rear  Love the OEM seat covers, dropped my plans of getting aftermarket ones after using them for a few days.  1212 kms on the odo  ICE with bluetooth thingy is just awesome  One more view of pure awesomeness !!!  Now for the not so great part, the dreaded SCRATCH   |
