General Comments

I bought my Ford Ikon 1.3 Flair (Anniversary) in 2005 and I feel that the car is good. Never had major issues except couple of visits to the Authorised Service centres on top of the regular servicing visits.
As I mentioned, reverse gear is a problem many times and AC acts funny at times. I never encountered issues while driving anywhere and the fuel economy is never a problem. (City - 11-12kmpl, Highway -- 16-19kmpl). The car is worth every pie you spend. The spares also decently priced (though a little expensive when you are replacing a major part!). Otherwise, warranty is decent. You should never go to a Service centre which is not Ford authorized due to chances of spurious parts getting fitted in.
Overall, I am happy with my car and would strongly recommend this to all prospective buyers who are unsure about the choices available at this cost.
