what drew my affinity towards this car is the sporty steering position and the seats the can vouch for its just like the esparco or the recardo seats, my heart says buy this car just for that!(OT: if i am not wrong this is what made the swift sell, the car is actually not all that fast its the handling, the way the seating is planned that pushes the driver back when it accelerates is what it has made it a success, coupled with the A.S.S and resale!)

but the mind always kicks in and says the A.S.S and the practical aspects. well
even if they dont reduce the prices of spares completely but only say marginally by even 5% for starters, but make them available right when its needed by a customer they might still be able to do good business, its usually the waiting for a particular part and the fact that these cars end up in the service centers is really making them lose the business!

a pure enthusiasts will definitely buy the 1.6 L ikon if still avaliable just like the lancers are bought till to day! and i really hope they come up with the 1.6L or higher cc TDCi diesel for the ikon and price well with improved A.S.S. will be a huge hit! the FE offer by fiesta is 14kmpl+ in the city i dont think it will make a very big difference if they gave 12kmpl+ in the city and be fast! just my opinion guys what do say? no offenses and please correct me if i am wrong.
