FORD : Found Dead On Roads.. yeah someone called it CRAP..right on
14 years ago | Rp0197
I bought the new Ikon last year, among the first cars at Mumbai. Looking at me, a friend of mine also bought one. Never thought it would be so bad.. AC valve has been changed for both cars, twice for one car. Now also hot air suddenly blows in specially in traffic. Its big joke in our group. Both cars have jerky brakes or brakes grab suddenly on application & u get that noise from wheels. Both cars steering is over responsive, one has to be careful. Ford had reduced steering dia. from earlier size, without any other modifications in the steering system. The Mumbai dealer Shaman has closed shop & the nearest dealer is 20kms away from office & 40kms from home :-( As per the dealer they were fedup with the failures & attitude of Ford India. You cannot find any contact number of any Ford Sales or Sevice persons. Emails are not answered back. SO all in all a terrible experience to own a Ford ..NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY OR SUGGEST ANYONE TO BUY A FORD VEHICLE.NIL, cheap sedanrepeated AC problems, funny noises, bad steering, bad brakes, cheap fittings

Best driving experiance, superb control
13 years ago | Vikram

HI friends,

I am using Ford Ikon 1.3 ROCAM for past 1.5 years. I own a 2004 model (50,000 Kms done). While choosing my first car, online reviews have helped me a lot. Thus thaught of writing a first hand feedback on this car. So far my experiance has been fantastic. The car is easy to drive and control. very sturdy (thanks to comparatively small height) even at the speed of 150kms/hr. The pick up is quite impressive (people say its comparable to bigger cars). It has been consistently giving fuel efficiency of around 14kms / ltr on highways and 12 kms /ltr in city (with AC on). Its very much suitable for city drives as well as highway drives thanks to compact design and powerful engine.

Large boot space, narrow width and lower height are few things I realy like about Ikon for good carraige capacity, ease of city drive and sturdy performance on highways respectively. Interiors are way better than TATA Indigo or MAruti Esteem. The engine noise is little bit high (this can be further improved), however I understand thats common amongst all FORD vehicles. Gears are little harder than Hyudai vehicles but may be because I am comparing 2004 Ford model with 2008 Hyundai model.

I have not come across any major trouble except for once fuel pipe got damaged, once stearing belt broke off and once thermostatic switch (controling auto operation of cooling fan) failed. ( I think these are normal wear and tear after 3 to 4 years). However this put together did not cost me anything more than Rs.12,000. My overall expense on this car in past 1.5 years including regular servicings has not been more than 20,000 out of which around 12,000 mentioned above was only one time. (I maintain my car at a private mechanic).

If any body is thinking of buying a second hand car then this can be realy great value for money car. (Check out availability of Ford spare parts in your city though you may not need them frequently) I think one should always consider this car while choosing any Maruti / TATA products and then take an informed decision. With own experiance of driving GetZ, Indiac, Indigo, Accent and Ford Ikon, I think I will vote surely to Ford Ikon. I have been fully satisfied with my choice of FORD.
