If you are traveling for a trip outside a city with your family the Figo will be very comfortable. The driver is also at ease in the Figo. On the other hand, the Beat offers exception driving experience to driver and passengers.Handling and feel
The Beat offers a smooth and perfect handling of the vehicle. So does the Figo, the Figo is superb while driving at high speeds. You might enjoy the drive since it has high class hatchback engine. Turning and handling in the Figo is superb, very comfortable and designed for perfection.

I HAVE TAKEN A TEST DRIVE ON BOTH THE CARS….FOLLOWING ARE MY OBSERVATION..
1) BEAT IS ATTRACTIVE EXTERNALLY AS WELL AS INTERNALLY. WHEREAS FIGO IS ATTRACTIVE EXTERNALLY AND INTERIOR IS QUITE AVERAGE.
2)CHEVROLET COMES WITH A 3 YEAR SERVICE WARRANY WHEREAS FORD FIGO DONOT HAVE ANYTHING SIMILAR.
3)CHEVROLET SPARK IS ALSO A HIT SO THE SERVICE STATION AND BACK UP IS MORE COMPARED TO FIGO.
4)I OBSERVED A SLIGHT SOUND IN FOGO WHICH WAS NOT THERE IN BEAT.
5)MUSIC SYSTEM OF FIGO IS BETTER COMPARED TO BEAT.
6)THE SITTING SPACEAND BOOT SPACE IS MORE IN FIGO COMAPRED TO BEAT. WHAT ABOUT PARKING IN CITIES?
7)PRICE AND OFFERS ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE IN CHEVROLET AND FEATURES CAN BE CUSTOMISED WHICH IS NOT THERE IN FIGO.
8)SALES PEOPLE IN FORD ARE VERY COMPLACENT WHEREAS CHEVROLET’S PEOPLE ARE FLEXIBLE AND PURSUASIVE.
