The biggest let down in Figo is that there are no rear power windows even in the top version

Ford has launched its all new Figo hatchback based on the old Fiesta platform. In this review, we take the car out for a ride and try and find out if the ‘Smart and Smarter’ car is worth the hype surrounding it. What has Ford compromised in this car to bring it at a price so appealing to the masses in India? Does this little hatch take forward the legacy of its predecessors and establish itself as the best ride and handling hatch in India?

Keep up the quality posts

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
