  4. Ford always had high maintenance cost. With a fiesta engine in Ikon it would make a dent in its own ford fiesta. awaiting for test drive report…..

  5. I checked with the dealer and on some other sites. The price is quoted as 5.19 lakhs ex Delhi. Mumbai prices cant be lesser than Delhi with the Octroi component involved!!

  7. I bought the 1.4 Diesel Dura Torq this week and it’s a brilliant car!! Took the test drive last week and here’s what made me decide… As I got into the car I realised the biggest and most prominent change is the new digital odometer with backlit dials add to the car’s theme. Love the new look with the modified front bumper and headlamps. The leg room is adequate and seats are comfortable and the handling is superb and the suspension is really good. You can hardly feel any bumps. We were cruising at 120 and the engine noise is hardly noticeable, they seem to have achieved a great deal with the noise and vibration reduction. I’ve added the alloy wheels and the rear Spoiler that makes it look a lot meaner. Reversing is still the same with the higher rear end. Apart from this the car is just beutifull.

  11. what is the maintenance cost of ford tdci ? . General news is that ford vehicles are very costly to maintain.

    what about a fiesta diesel maintenance and the normal rocam engine if they are to be taken as benchmarks
