Best Entry level Sedan

I was aproud owner of Santro since 2001 and was very happy. As the Kids grew, we found that that we needed a bigger car with more luggage space , good drive handling (Self Driven) and spacious inside. Looks was not of great importance as I had a Santro which definitely didn't score well in looks (atleast at the time when I bought it, lot of people criticised me for that decision.).

After weeks of reserch in carwale, Short listed few SUV/MUV( Xylo, Scorpio, Innova ) and few Sedan ( Dzire, SX4). Initial visits and test drives , family rejected the SUV/MUVs.  Also more or less we wanted to to go for diesel and hence had only Dzire. Initial discussions with maruthi for Zdi of dzire was discouraging due to 6 month waiting period if you want the color of your choice.

One fine day we decided to have a casual walk to Lathangi ford near our office and were very impressed by Ikon. After a test drive , I found the driveability very good. The dealer had consultant reports on cost of spares comparison and found ford spares reasonable (in comparison to Hyundai spare costs) . The price negotiation was easy as I was getting thorugh the company. Shorlisted set of accessories and got a reasonable discount too.

Delivered the car on Sep 2 .  Driven some short trips and long drives so far. I am very happy for making the right choice.

In Summary , it is a Value for Money and the best Entry level Sedan.
