Ikon 1.4 -TDCI

Exterior

 Exterior makes you look as if it is the old Ikon. Ford needs to work on this and needs to work on the exteriors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 I am not much fan of the interiors and Ikon has all of it what is required. I got this Ikon along with the ikool pack which gives an choice of not even needing a single accessory from outside.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The most aspect of this Ikon is the Engine(Ford Fiesta engine) and being lighter by 100 kgs than Fiesta gives a mileage of around 19 km(even better than what Fiesta offers). The handling on the road makes you feel enjoy whenver you drive. Gear box is better than many of the other sedans on the road.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Amazing ride quality and handling gives a 'kick' enough to go distance without breaks.

Final Words

 It was tough to choose a car in India even after spending 6.0 lakhs. I was looking out for a nice sedan yet budget vehicle. I thought I have made a good choice in this segment for I wanted a affordable but an efficient vehicle. People have a perception of Ford being an huge maintenence car, but gone are days and the spares and parts prices are at part with the Maruti's and Hyundais.....

Areas of improvement  

 Need an overhaul on the exterior to make it better...
