Look wise its totally sporty sedan like racing car having small steering wheel makes you feel that you driving sports car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Mileage is a very important factor that everybody rely on while purchasing car, I am getting good response when you will talk about average mileage of FORD IKON 1.4 Dura Torque i.e. 21+ Km per Litres.
Ride Quality & Handling
Handling good on high speed, suspension - good for 5 peoples. when you are using tubeless tyres then suspension is extremely good
AC and Heater - extremely good in performance.
Final Words
Price wise its a value to Money.
rear boot is having a big space that can accommodate 2 big briefcases and other small bags too.
Areas of improvement
Suspension need to be improved,
rear boot space door should be a button operated by default it should be provided by company itself.
Sometimes while driving is an extreme fog situation fog moist sticks to the front glass then we need to switch on Heater and AC sometimes to give up from this situation
Overall its good to have a sporty car in an extremely reasonable price pack.

I owned this car (new) for 5 years and I really liked it. I sold it only since I had to go abroad. Has driven 68000Kms in this car.` Just after purchasing I went for a long drive (it covered 1500kms) in 3 to 4 days and it was nice dirving it.
Exterior It has a very good looks. Would suggest don't add anything exterior to it like rear spoiler or other gadgets as it looks good as it is.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The interiors are good but would say the quality of plastics used, could have been better. Has good leg room. It becomes a bit cramped at the back for 3 people. The quality of the seat is extermely good and you like the overall looks.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is quite powerfull for the 1.3 range. Has got good pickup and the gearbox is smooth. I driver quite nice (with proper gear shift, don't use clutches during idling etc) and it used to give me around 13 to 14 in city. Believe me. I used qood quality pertrol. and on highways it gave me around 17-18.
Ride Quality & Handling It is a divers car. Two things I liked most is ground clearance and turning radiu and the one I hated the most is its poor shock absorber. It gives that 'THUD' noise while jumping over the gutters.
Final Words At 5K range, I would say this is one of the best car and real value for money.
Areas of improvement Shock absorber!

I purchased a Ford Ikon Diesel, recently and I was thrilled with the performance of this car. Very good milage ( 25 km per ltr. of diesel) with AC on and no pricautions on average. Very good pick-up. Good leg room & boot space. Very good A/c cooling. Engine sound - quite perfect.
BUT, very bad pre sales after you have paid advance, and still worse after sales service.
This car is great but the pre & post sales is bad.
Answering on the guidelines parameters :
1. Only about tis car - I feel great owning this car as this gives me a great milage & excellent speed. good leg room & v.good AC cooling
2. The car fully met my expectations.
3. I like the speed, pick-up, cooling, controlled engine sound, space, design, v. good running cost.
very good fuel economy, safe, sporty, good pick-up, very good price, spacious, good leg roomvery bad pre sales after paying advance, horrible after sales, worst customer treatmentExterior/Styles

Looks are very striking and its bottle green colour is very classy. It comes with a lot of equipment like CD player, AM-FM, Rain Sensing Wipers, Automatic Headlamps, Leather Upholstry, power windows and Alloy Wheels (optional). These gizmos were missing in other cars in its time. The interiors are very functional and simple, the controls are easy to use and the seats are extremely comfortable. It has a 1.3 Endura engine that is very powerful. It makes a 75 BHP power and 100N metres of torque. The cabin is very spacious and the boot is very big (500L luggage space).You can throw it round corners fearlessly because the tires have a superior grip and the ride quality is just perfect- no bumps filter through the cabin. It has a great pickup and still is very swift. The AC is very chilling and Ford after sails is very good.
However, there are hardly any storage spaces for the driver and passenger to keep nic-nacs and spare parts for our 2000 model are unavailable and Ford shouldn't try to sell Fiesta over Ikon because it is awesome.
I being a 6th grader have written my views and though I have never driven a car (which is obvios!) and was not born till the first 2 years of my car, I still love it! Jai Hind!

After several months of research shortlisted Ford Ikon Diesel, Fiesta, Dzire, Accent, Fiat Linea, Indigo as good entry level Sedans. Hond City is excellent but new models are expensive (850 K and above).
Accent and Indigo are dull. Not too sure about service of Linea. Dzire is excellent in most ways but was put off buy its looks. The front and rear do not match. Small rear windows and lack of rear leg-space. My family and friends also share this opinion. However, for some it is the ultimate car. Sadly not for me.
The New Fork Ikon Diesel TDCi has excelent looks. Looks like a proper three box sedan with nice proportions. The Diesel engine is a proven one from Fiesta and has been around for a couple of years. Test drive was a good experience. Booked the car and got it deliverd in exactly 2 weeks. The charts for regular maintenance shows it is comparable to other cars in its category. At the moment I am not sure about cost of spares.
Accessories are a bit expensive but worth it. Best is the remote boot opener. A soft touch of a small button near the base of the gear is all that is required to open the boot. Kenwood Music system is good as are the beige art leather seat covers, rear spoilers, central locking etc. The Locking arrangements have good securithy. For 611 K total cost it is fantastic value for money.
Have driven it for 200 Km so far. Handling is excellent. Responsive engine, especially after turbo kicks in after 1800 revs. 50 to 120 kmph in a jiffy! Fantastic steering which is good for the curvaceous roads of Goa. AC works fine so does the music system. Gear changing is a bit hard -not supersmooth. It is necessary to shift to lower gears frequently when slowing down for the ubiquitous speed breakers (bumpers) because at low revs the engine is underpowered due to lack of turbo charge. Brakes are not very good for sudden emergeny stops over 80 kmph as it does not have ABS and EBD. No problem for gradual slowing down or sudden stopping at lower speeds.
Overall I am glad to have purchased the Ford IKON Diesel TDCI. It is good value for money and has overall good performance. I expect to get around 20 kmpl or more driving in Goa where the traffic is not bumper to bumper.
Will be glad to answer any queries which other readers may have.
