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 140km/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.
I test drove it last week and its brilliant!! The handling is superb and the suspension is really good. You can hardly feel any bumps. I was also impressed by the looks of the new 1.4 diesel Dura torque and 1.3 ROCAM Petrol. the visibility form the driver’s seat is good and the seats are comfy.
It’s really very beautiful and very powerful.
