Very good car for the price

 

Hi Guys, 

I have owned the Ikon for just over a year now and driven around 18000 kms including few long (1300 km one way) trips. This car is sheer pleasure to drive. Truly a driver's car. The power/rpm ratio is the best in its class and even compared to more expensive cars. What I mean there is that it may not be a high bhp car but you get good power at low rpms ..2000-3000 which is where you would typically drive. However, this is why the mileage is not great. It's also not very good with 4 passengers in the car but great for two. I compared the Dzire and Accent. Dzire is pure piece of crap in terms of build quality and design. Yes you will get more space in Dzire but its basically pretending to be something its not. Accent on the other hand though beautiful than ikon does not offer the same driving pleasure. 

So Ikon is highly recommended for someone who drives a bit rough. Build quality is ok. Not high on safety but excellent handling and control. Heard a lot of negative things about the maintenance but so far never had to spend a rupee. 

thanks,

MJ
