Ok, so whos seen this one?

Ford - New Ford Ikon

Ford - Ford Ikon 1.4 DuraTorq TDCi

Basically the fusion's excellent new gen diesel in the Ikon (+ minor cosmetic changes) for 2L less :clap:

=

Better fuel efficiency+ Ikons good drivability @ around 5.6L on road North India :ohyeah:

The logans got some serious competition now :)

Dads seriously looking at this one over the logan now in jan.

-tive: Only 1 stripped down variant launched yet, no ABS/airbags. :( Hopefully they fix it and launch a higher end one too. (Might not happen, to avoid cannibalizing Fiesta sales tho :()
 
Ford Ikon 1.4TDCI is a very good car Imo.

I also find it better than Logan & competition for Swift & Dzire.

No offence meant but it looks like a friGGin toy car ,the front :S !!!

so much for cosmetic changes !? minor ! minor !

The New Engine is gonna be the only USP !

^^^ Old one(Flair & Endura) still looks better !!!
 
I saw the car at one off the Ford showrooms today ,it was looking good ,not sure how its gonna sound ,lemme go for a test drive some time next week
 
Havn't checked out the car in person, but from the pics I would say that the older one with the sxi front bumper looked better, the headlights remind me of the escort :P

I hope they have improved the brakes and have provided better sound insulation which were the sour points in the older model, which imo is still the best handling car below 10lakhs (I havn't driven the Cedia yet)

@Greenie : I've got four year old ikon and I've never had a problems with Ford's service so far (atleast wth Wasan Ford here in Mumbai) I do agree that if any part goes kaput after the warranty period it may be expensive to replace if you are getting it through the ford dealer, however since it's been here for a while most of the parts are localised and available without much difficulty in the after market
 
Ford just can't seem to shake of their fuddy duddy image. The car certainly won't turn heads. Let's see what value they can offer.

Save yourself from the hassles on Ford's nightmarish after sales and get a Swift Dzire.

Like the Dzire looks great !?
The whole concept is a JOKE !
Swift was perfect but a 4-door sedan out of it??? No !

+1. The shape leaves a lot to be 'dzired' :rofl: + the engine on this thing should be goooooooood :D
 
@ thexfactor, my boss picked up a mint condition ikon 1.6 for 1.2L. Thought it was a steal then. about 50k of bills (for minor things ) 6 months later, seems the steal was for ford service :P

But then again it was second hand , depends a lot on how it was maintained by the previous owner. You can easily source most of the parts from elsewhere and then get them fitted from the official service center, works out to be much cheaper and quality is the same in most cases :)
