REVIEW : Hi! I read above comments. Let me make you very clear
this is a different car it gives you pleasure but also it will make a
big hole in your purse it gives you power not the mileage. Moreover
service dealers are not cooperative. Maintenance is very heavy parts are
not easily available. It also doesn ot support cng.So if you started
getting problem with the car better to sell it. And also resale value is
very bad. Its not a bad car just the company need ford to make its
maintenance easy. The thing all about AC written above is all crap the
AC is very good.

REVIEW : I bought an Ikon 1.3 Flair in Oct 2004 and 3.5 years
have gone. I am getting a mileage of 12-13 in city and 14 in Highways.
There ends the good part. Now to what worries me is the Central Locking
at times gets haunted and I have at times ended up having to get out of
the Driver Seat from the Window. Now when I switch on the Air Condition
(In Cool Mode) at times what i get is nothing but HOT HOT air. At times
it works fine. Is it the Ghost of the Ikon? I would recommend be happy
to part with your Ikon Flair 1.3 4 years after you have bought it

maintenance similar to skoda rider all the best for the ford ikon users
especially younger.

REVIEW : I own a ford ikon 1.3l flair, it is no doubtedly the
best car in its class, great pick up and can go as fast as 190km/h,this
car is really fun to drive. My car has done 30000kms and i have not come
across any kind of problem till now. But here i would like to mention
its mileage is somewhat disappointing (9kms/ltr in city and 13-14kms/ltr
on highway), but otherwise this car is a gem in its segment. Very
suitable for those people who r looking for speed n thrill.

REVIEW : I want to own a 1.3 icon Flair with special features.
These special features include Sony music n' FM player, ipod features,
Alloy wheels, keyless entry, leather seat covers. Unfortunately the
special 'IKOOL' edition is stopped suddenly. The comfortable tubeless
tyeres are also not a part of this car. I contacted FORD's customer
care, but didn't receive satisfactory reply. Therefore, I am deceiding
to spend some more money and buy a 'CHEVROLET AVEO' with special all
these special features and more comfort.

REVIEW : Ford Ikon ,its my baby, it can go as quick as u like
and handles very well also the slow ,busy roads of chennai are easily
negotiated. Engine is powerful and reliable.good space large boot area.
milage in the city around 12.5km\l and long drivesw around 15.5 to 16
km\l.servicing is good all the service engineers are very helpful and
willing to go the extra mile. now lets talk bout the drawbacks...there
aint many of them.....the reverse gear needs gettin used to..or an extra
litre of milk a day to handle well. Spares are a bit expensive when you
compare it to a maruthi.. as you may know its international
standards...Its the third largest Automobile manufacturing brand in the
world only behind General Motors and toyota....so i guess it says a
lot.the only other drawback would be the need to replace the AC plate
mesh/filter after 40,000 kms which is the minimum. coming to its looks
its a sleek model with an excellent finish. the only complaint is tat it
has a raised rear and a !
very front portion...as u may have noticed but if if u ask me
tats the reason i luv it ...it feels like a cock-pit of a race/sports
car....there u go .....if u wanna get a ford ikon....my suggestion is go
for it....iv had my car since 2002...and have not had a single problem.
except for the ac ....which i have mentioned....

REVIEW : Ford Ikon 1.3 EXI is excellent choice. I recently
purchased this 2003 model seconds and I feel like owning a bran new car.
I gives 20 KMPL at 180 KMPH in city. But in higways 36 KMPL at 360 KMPH.
Value added. No maintanance cost only Rs. 101 per year. No Service
required.To maintain like this only thing you have to do is dont take
your car from your home.........enjoy.

REVIEW : I own a Ford ikon Flair 2007.I find the Car is
good,unless you think too much about its power, you go paranoid.You can
only move on 1st gear when ever it is stationary or slow moving
traffic.Otherwise its a great car of its class .but you should watchout
the dealers Cauvery Ford cheat you with/ try to burden you their addons
from dealer which they say is mandatory.The stereo equipment is pathetic
and the least you can get from the market.Be careful with the people you
deal.They give you each statement of price at each time you go.the
people at Cauvery Ford are not customer oriented.They rather think of
owners of a Giant Ford Co and show no respect to customers.I can name
few people.Third service is very expensive.

REVIEW : The Ford cars are really good but the after sales
services are very very bad,less number of service stations. With less
number of service stations the waiting list is huge and the staff is
also worst, they take 30 min - 45 min to take your car. The funniest
part is you are asked to pay 1.5%-2% more if you are using your credit
card as if you have paid less for the replaced parts in your car. Over
all if your car gives a problem its better to sell you car rather than
go to a ford service station and never go in for a Ford product in life
time again.

KMpL with the AC kept on occasionally. Nice gears, excellent EPS.. good

REVIEW : Good drive, handling and performance on high rpm, but
this is a heavy car, the engine knock if you dont accelerate more than
normal at 1st gear. but performs well after 2nd gear and above. The car
will not give you average of 10 in city wirh a/c on (6-7 km/ltr) no
matter what your dealer promises you. The a/c switch is faulty design
and needs to be replaced at least times (make sure its free, its a
company defect they try and blame it on you) the fog lamps bulbs blow
out within first 3 months. A low end stereo player is supposed to be
standard but you pay for it and not the standard speakers? The sporty
steering is standard but again they charge you for it. They promise you
goodyear tubeless tyres but are actually standard tubes unless you
check. The wipers are of inferior qwality. Dealer always says its a
great car and sells like hot cakes, but try to sell it to them second
hand even immaculate condition and you will see how hot price they will
offer you..All dealers will make great offers but they are actaully
making fools out of the customers. In short, you will regret buying the
car, but the car itself, is not that bad. Buy a Getz or Swift
instead..great after sales service.

REVIEW : Hi, i bought my Ford Ikon FLair very recently, i.e on
18th June 2007. I have just driven it for a day, so i really cant say
much abt it, but that its really good drive. But though one issue with
Cauvery Ford dealer is just the next day in newspapers they had given
how the dealers con the customers for registration charges. Actually the
RTO charge is just Rs250/- but the dealer charged Rs5000/- for
incidental charge (including regn), i dont understand how the charge
becomes more than 20 times the actual, keeping in mind the 20 km from
Kanakpura Rd to Jayanagar RTO, the driver employed and the handling
charges at RTO, all must come to around max Rs1000/-, but this extra
3500-4000 bucks is simply forced on customers, and should be withdrawn
with immediate effect. Plz dont get a bad name for yourself cauvery
motors by doing this, bcos ur sales team is doing a tremendous job in
selling the vehicles with some superb marketing stuff. I tried to
catchhold of the owner's email id but to no avail. If someone knows it,
plz fwd this piece to him as well. Rest no issues with the car, its
awesome machine for that money.

to drive but the milage of the car is very poor and the service centre
when ever complained will not agree to you and will ask you for a test
drive after refilling the complete tank which will lead to nice hair cut
everytime you complain about it. i feel that the company should
seriously think about it as ikon gave a break to the company and will
trough them out of the market too.

is faulty. It will stop functioning in a few months (usually around
after 15 month, depending on your usage). Its the problem with FORDS OEM
supplier. Any other country, they would have recalled back the cars and
rectified the problem. But we Indian are suckers for big names with bad

Ikon is born with you.The spares are very expensive and you get spares
only through the dealer and the dealer UTILISES you to the MAXIMUM.If
you are in Bangalore,I will NEVER EVER recommend you to buy Ford as the
ONLY 2 dealers in Bangalore SUCK,they are absolutely pathetic ,they ROB
and CHEAT their customers(service Section). The service guys are so bad
and unproffesional,I would be much more confident to give my car to a
local autorikshaw mechanic. They have no mercy on your car and they
treat your car like their enemy and CHEAT with all their wicked skills

REVIEW : The car is overall a good package but i found following
draw backs
1. the body of car is not strong enough. in fact it could dent by stong
hand pressure.
2. problem of servicing persisting as one does not find service centres
in medium cities.
the car runs fine. it is returning with 18 KM on high way (80-110
speed) and 10-11 KM in city with AC ON. the pick up is pathetic with AC
on at low speeds but picks up after 60 KPH, then their is no stopping. i
drove it upto 155 KPH and their was no vibration and noise.
recommended but seems ford is not at all enthusiastic after fiesta
introduction.
