0 -> Welcome folks, welcome to Powerdrift.
2.28 -> Now if you think I'm standing next to this car to talk of this car, you're wrong.
7.12 -> Well in a way, I'm here today to talk of the roll that an automobile manufacturer plays in our society.
13 -> But to do that i'm gonna have to draw your attention to the yesteryear of automobile manufacturing.
19 -> And so you'll have to allow me, well whatever time it is that I may take to explain this very thing, starting now.
26.62 -> Cars are a reflection of the society they exist in, that is why after world war II
32.34 -> Europe was making small practical cars, even three wheeled ones, while United States was not.
39.8 -> That's because Europe was broke and America was not.
43.48 -> Wise countries and their governments have always understood the importance of transportation,
48.12 -> It's serious business that can affect the growth potential of a country.
52.08 -> Hence even Japan in 1949 introduced some as kai cars, cars that were small, little, practical and reliable,
59.08 -> and because they were all that they also attracted tax exemptions from the government.
63 -> Throughout the history then cars have helped nations grow, because they were being tailor made for their nations need,
69.36 -> and such a car prescribed by the government for the betterment of a nation, I'll call a prescription car.
75.86 -> But a country far more complicated than dividing a number by zero must also need it's own prescription car.
83.06 -> And well yes we do have one, one prescribed to us by a clever Dr. P Chidambaram in year 2006, a sub 4 meter car.
91.08 -> So if I were an egalitarian, it wouldn't matter to me how much money I have, buying a car prescribed by a wise guy,
98.08 -> and buying a car prescribed for my countries environment, will be the wisest car purchase decision.
104.44 -> That ladies and gentlemen is the real reason why I'm standing next to the Ford Figo Aspire.
112.46 -> The Ford Figo Aspire is one of the best sub four meter cars in our country right now.
118.26 -> I say one of the best and not the best, because yes there are a lot of other good sub 4 meter cars,
124.92 -> Including monoccoque SUV's, ladder frame chassis SUV's and Ford's very own the Ecosport.
133.42 -> But then this 1.5L TDCi diesel motor, it just tops everything, it's got a torque curve that's as smooth as your mango smoothie.
140.42 -> and it's got 100 horses which makes it one of the most powerful in this segment.
144.66 -> The cabin space on the inside well it's tastefully spacious
148.3 -> and it doesn't just end up looking 2 chairs and a bench kept in a confined room like some of the other competition cars
153.98 -> from this segment end up looking like.
156.38 -> and then of course this is a sedan, so you also got a boot for your family needs and well everything in this car is very responsive,
163.38 -> The steering, the clutch, they all got a good feel, maneuvering this car in city traffic or in tight parking spots, again is very very easy.
171.26 -> You see then the bad comes with the good and the bad is little and the good is very terrific, you eventually come out only thinking of the good,
178.26 -> But then yes there are a few bad things when it comes to this car, now to speak of them,
182.62 -> you know Ford's always been known for very good steering and gearshift feel and quality, that is a few notches down on this car.
191.12 -> But it still is one of the most pleasurable ones to drive in this segment, the other bad thing could be, well the console quality,
198.12 -> It's not really bad but you'll find it difficult to convince your friends that it's rather good too.
204.02 -> Why is the Ford Figo Aspire then the best sub 4 meter car in our country ?
210.02 -> Well I will tell you that ladies and gentlemen, It's competition in the segment, the Swift DZire brings trust, and resale value to the table while
219.36 -> the Honda Amaze brings it's iDtec engine, the Hyundai screams features while Tata Motors brings in automated manual transmission or AMT
229.3 -> but none of them in their base variants offer what the Ford does, safety.
234.32 -> The Ford Figo Aspire ladies and gentlemen is the 5th compact sedan in our Indian market,
243.3 -> It comes in 3 variants, 1.2L petrol, 1.5L diesel and the 3rd one is the 1.5L petrol variant which also comes with dual clutch automatic gearbox.
250.3 -> That's an edge that the Aspire brings to the table in this segment.
254.36 -> Why is this then the wisest car purchase decision ?
261.3 -> Well it's not the gem of the engine and I'm not talking specifically of the 1.5L TDCi, but because of the fact that this is a prescription car and more.
269.12 -> In it's base variant the Aspire gets 2 airbags and in it's top end variant Titanium+ the car get 6 airbags.
277.36 -> Lo and behold, ladies and gentlemen, the Ford Figo Aspire, not just a prescription car, but the safest prescription car.
