Full Review

well this car is same IKONas before.it was responsive car right from its evolution.the responsive ROCAM  engine is still the best,exiting to drive.it has lost the chunk of its power .for a passionate driver this car was like an icing on cake,but dissapointed as i was to see its top speed cut down by almost 35 kph.the car has a good midrange torque.the 1.3L responsive SOHC engine is good but runs out of breath if reved hard.the good old 1.6L is still the best.the car has typical pointy feel to it,fun for a guy like me who would push the car around the corner.the car has good pick up from start line.it can even take on likes of skoda octavia if given in proper hands.it has good decent interiors well mounted steering column.the new ikon has been given sporty looks,but it looks more of a flair.the version which i loved was 1.6    nxt   zxi.it was damn good with killer looks.the fuel economy had made this car unfavourable for most of us but if u are passionate about driving then ikon is still the best.please ford guys ,bring back 1.6   L.all in all a great sporty car to have.
