2015 Ford Figo 1.4

Hi All

Do these Figo's have a "Engine Run-in" when they are still new?

My mom inlaws has about 12000km and it seems to hesitate under acceleration.

Thanks

I know that on performance cars the sales guys recommend a few thousand km before you start pulling the car through its arse.

But at 12000km, even if there was a recommended run in period on the Figo, it should be long past.

It is 1.4 ford, don't expect too much

Come say that to my 1.4 Fiesta. She moves nicely.

That said the Figo has a different motor.

Exactly My 1.4 Figo isn't sluggish at all, it does have a few choice mods on it though

12000km in 2 years. It could have carbon build up, especially if it only does short runs.

It needs a nice long run to blow out all the cobwebs

That's what I was thinking. It does sit alot in the garage at home...

My Fiesta in the last 3 years averaged 3k km per annum. Runs like a dream still.

Then you are wasting money on a car, that you don't need.

She's my weekend car. Paid off 4 years ago. I do high mileage, so I use another car for work. And where I stay I don't have covered parking so I rather leave the car at home (parents) where's it's under cover.

It's the first car I ever bought myself so I'm not letting it go easily. Also mileage is split to the bike too. Which keeps milage off the car.

Weekend car is meant to be a fun to drive car...

I drive my one car 30 000km a year, and it brings a smile everytime.

I average 55k km per annum. My fiesta is loads of fun to drive. But I love the car too much to expose it to all the idiots denting it in mall parking lots daily. Having the sun eat the paint.

Not to mention I can't afford to use it for work since I'd need to service every 4 months. Insurance would increase too.

As a weekend car I can enjoy it whilst keeping it in the best condition.

Is it the 1.4 petrol or diesel?

Bet your avg speed is higher in that 3k per annum than OP's mum in laws

@catman37 - I see you in East Rand. Do a midnight run on the freeway loop. R21 N to Pretoria till N1 interchange, then N1 S Via Midrand to Soweto, Down N12 past Alberton, N3 then R24 and back to East.

Midnight so the speeds can be kept higher up for longer :twisted:

Sorry. I made a mistake with the year. My wife says it's a 2012 model.

It's a petrol
