THIS CAR HAS EXCELLENT DRIVING CHARCTERISTICS AT ANY SPEED RANGING FROM ZERO TO 176 KM(I HAVENT DRIVEN  BEYOND THIS BUT THE CAR IS STILL EAGER TO GO FURTHER).


EACH ONE OF THE SYSTEMS LIKE GEAR BOX ,POWER STEERING,BRAKES,SUSPENSION WORKS FABULOUSLY.


THE CAR IS STURDY AND TROUBLE FREE.IT COMES WITH 14 INCH RADIALS AND SUMPTUOUS GROUND CLEARANCE OF 178 MM WHICH ALLOWS IT TO BE TAKEN ANYWHERE.


INTERIOR QUALITY IS MATCHED ONLY BY HONDA CITY AND ITS SEATS ARE EVEN BETTER THAN CITY.


THE ENGINE IS SO GOOD IT HAS SUBSTANTIAL RESERVE POWER EVEN AFTER SWITCHING AC ON.I EASILY DRIVE IT IN 5TH GEAR FROM 50 KMPH  ONWARDS.MINIMUM GEAR CHANGES REQUIRED WHILE DRIVING.


FANTASTIC CAPABILITY TO CLIMB SLOPES EFFORTLESSLY AND THIS WITH THE HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE MAKE IT  A GREAT ALL ROUNDER.


IT IS A TROUBLE FREE CAR REQUIRING SERVICE ONLY ONCE IN 6 MONTHS (OR 10000KM) AND SERVICING COST IS NOT MUCH.QUALITY OF ENTIRE CAR IS SO GOOD IT DOES NOT NEED ANY ATTENTION  OTHER THAN PERIODIC SERVICING.

    I too am fond of Ikon 1.6 ZXI,no other car is so good in driving and quality.Even Fiesta does not come close.

    I'm planning to buy CNG - Sedan 1.3L 5-Spd.MT in Delhi.Anyone who is using it, please give me the feedback. I would like to know the expert view also.

    You should go for 1600cc ZXI model as the 1300 cc will not have eenough power to run on CNG

    Preferably go for ZXI model that has the best performance engine(1600cc)AS Ford has stopped marketing this you can go for used one.Top end model ie ZXI NXT also has lots of goodies and interiors are very high quality.This maY NOT BE SO FOR FLAIR
