The Ford Ikon 1.6 is simply amazing.The car has enough zip (much better compared to Accent). The car is very sturdy....dosent leave the road at all. Its a very robust Car truly American (if u know wht I mean). Yours truly owns two ikon 1.6. When I had to decide about the second car, I was in a fix ...coz I did not want to own two similar cars....so I went ahead and test drove the Accent for a gud while.....but believe me guys that car dosent come even close....hence I have tow Ikons. Though the heaviness of the car may not be liked by women and the interiors are not much to talk about.
