I have been driving a Ford Ikon since 2004. It came fitted and finished reasonably well for a car in its class despite the rough edges. Great car to drive, has a punchy engine and a great gear box. However !!
The competition would say FORD is an acronym for FIX OR REPAIR DAILY, Which is true in the case of my car. It has been plagued niggling problems. Badly focused lights, poor shocks, leaks in the steering hydraulics, central lock failures.etc etc.
The service attention at the Ford Dealership is very poor and with just one dealer in Cochin, and the swelling number of Ford Owners- thanks to Fiesta- they are unable to cope with the numbers.Repetitive calls have to be made to the service centre. The car goes in atleast 3-4 times a month due to unfinished work. Besides the vehicle is returned dirty after a service.
If dealer and service satisfaction is something one is looking forward while buying a car- FORD does not come recommended.
