Hey! R u making fun of me?....You should actually.
This is straight from an Ikon 1.6 ROCAM owner-DO NOT BUY IT.
Yes the 1.6 is a stonker of a performer and has a strong build but thats where the good things stop, the cost of maintenence is unbelivable. I dont have word to describe how fast your pockets will empty filling petrol and buying its spare parts.
FORD-
FIX
OR
REPAIR
DAILY and so true for the car.
I had bought a '02 model for 1.65L and ended up spending 1.25L on maintenence alone excluding fuel costs, and the only mods i was able to do is a header back exhaust and a K n N which were for INR13000.
Up the budget and go for an OHC Type II Gen 1, you'll definately be happier.
