Hi
I'm looking for a Ford Ikon Flair 2004 or higher model in Kerala. I had a WagonR 2005 model and sold it to change to C segment car. I've gone through so many reviews and owners experiences I've decided to take a used Ikon Flair.

Regards
Sarath

Aah...Had a same situation couple of months back. I had WagonR 2002 model and sold it in Oct-07 for 2.2L. Bought a used Ikon from my brother for Rs.2.70 lacs-2004 model. It was very well maintained. go ahead my friend you simply will love the vehicle. Amazing comfort compared to wagonr.

Try if you can find a Used Honda City ( Old ). It has all what you want. A look in here and there also might help

jkdas · 17th January 2008, 23:14

Out of these I would pick the Ikon Flair.

Hyundai Accent will also be a good buy and heard one can get Esteem VXi for 2-2.25lacs.

rider60 · 18th January 2008, 02:44

try and get a CRDi accent by kicking the budget till 3.75L it will definately be worth the price in comparison, please dont buy fiat or ford you will have alot of problems maintaining them!

buy the brands like maruti, hyundai and others that have good sales, service and spares avaliable!

why not consider the swift second hand with the maruti true value showrooms they give 1year warranty and have good service check out the maruti site they have list of cars for sale from their true value showrooms on the site!

saintsinner · 18th January 2008, 03:07

Accent Petrol 2002/Honda City 2001/2002

esteem_lover · 18th January 2008, 06:24

You could also consider the OHC 1.5/Vtec or Mitsu Lancer though the lancer is not that responsive.

Akshay1234 · 18th January 2008, 08:57

check out the baleno. the rear seat comfort is really good in that.

benbsb29 · 18th January 2008, 10:07

Sarath, for your budget, the Ikon Flair should fit in. Make sure you lookout for one which is well-maintained. Before you do so, also check out the service provided by the local dealer when it comes to after-sales and servicing.
