apples and oranges my friend!
Both cars are pretty good in their own right. However Ford A.S.S. is not exactly very good and cost of ownership is very high.
Having owned an Ikon a couple of years back and a Palio now, I can tell you from personal experience that the A.S.S. I have recieved with my Fiat has been much better than what I recieved from ford.
Fiat A.S.S. has been quite bad as well in the past, but things are really improving now.
Moreover, if you go for the Palio, you will save over 2.5 L , a fraction of which you can use to do up the interiors.
In teh end you need to decide whether you need a sedan or a hatch.
P.S. another car you can consider is the fiat Adventure- Butch looks, even better build than the Palio and approx 5.6L OTR!
