Hi,
I have been driving an Ikon flair for the last one year and have completed 11000 kms on it so far.
The Ikon is a great car in most respects, the only downside bing that it is a bit sluggish at lower revs with the AC on.
Otherwise the car has adequate power and pretty good mileage. During the winters in Del, (NO AC!) I have been consistently getting 12 kpl, which goes upto 16 on the highway, if the speedo is under 120. A word about the speedo though.... it seems a bit overoptimistic and shows speeds in excess of what it actually is . Is anyone else facing the same situation or is the situation unique to my car? Accounting for the huge speedo error, I have tuoched upto 165 on the GT road between del and chandigarh, and the car felt rock steady at this speed.
I used to own an Accent GVS before this and IMHO, the Ikon is a far better car in all respects, while at the same time being easier on the wallet. In the accent, at any speed above 120, you needed to have nerves of steel to continue..... not so in the Ikon.
A word of advice to FOrd though...PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PLASTIC SUPPLIER. the quatlity of the dash plastic really sucks man. Looks like it is made from recycled plastic.
Cheers
