Test Drive – Ford Ikon TDCi

The Fiat Linea review series will continue from tomorrow

We spoke about the exteriors of the Ford Ikon TDCi in the initial report – The overall dimensions and shape remain same except for the excellent front-end touch up which is the cute grill-less design and headlamps which we carried over to our desktops.
