Areas of improvement Nothing except ground clearance and easy avail of spares, need more colors.

Smooth performance, good comfort, fantastic seating positionsGround clearance but it improved in 2012 models so dont worry about it go for it

Good car I like it very much Verna, Vento, City are waist i like very much it has more pick up so we can drive enjoyly and more over it has 4 disk brakes it is easy to stop. And it has 16inchs alloy wheels more grip and it has voice control it is easy to call some and it has full automatic climate control so good ac and it has good intrerior and it has 114ps power and 207tr the drive will be more easy so i fannly conclud that linea is the best car in my life i am happy with fiat thanks

And Verna, Vento, City are waist as compared to this powerfull car all fiat owners should be proud to have fiat cars so nothing to say good service by jasper good I am proud to say I have fiat car.

Good style good pick upNothing bad to say

Exterior Great.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very Good.

Ride Quality & Handling Very Good.

Final Words TATA will never be successful in making a good car and this is the reason they bought JLR to hide this fact . They thought they will be able to sell and service a foreign made car but it is a disaster because all their dealers have experience only ugly and rattling Indigo and Indicas hence FIAT LINEA has been a problem. FIAT thought that they will be able to get a better image by wearing the TATA mask but the memories of FIAT Taxi in Mumbai is still haunting because TATA is no better.

Areas of improvement FIAT should change all their dealers and service centers so that a better attitude is experienced by customers. Someone has written that when you ask for a service they make you look like beggars. This is true for all service centers.As I stated earlier that service centers recognise no difference between FIAT Taxi owners  in Mumbai and FIAT Linea owners. Think twice before you buy only because of poor service.

Very Stylish and SportyDriver Seat Adjustments are complicated

Exterior Goog but if broken really hard to get

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not good.

Areas of improvement This is because of these tata dealors in outskirts of Delhi(Najabgarh road). Specially to mention manager semma rawat who is never aware how badly fiat support is given. More preference to tata cars, it is almost 4 months since I ordered a front grill which they are not able to provide. The technician who works for your car would never be availble after 2 or 3 months. Worst part they say is that now some new guy wud work who is not aware wat the earlier tech did. Tata techno in dwarka is full of cheators, never helpful for fiat assistance and same is the case with the insurance robbers sitting there.

Performance is goodTata dealors should mot be given fiat support

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox A 1248cc multijet ingine is devloped by fiat
and now many indian car makers are using it, specially maruti is using it in it`s swift, dzire, sx4, and ertiga. because they know the reliability in fiat`s engine, maruti and tata both are big manufacturers in india, tata is replacing old diesel engines by fiat, than maruti is selling it`s diesel cars because of fiat.

IN LINEA- my experiance is very splendid, the initial pick up is slightly low because of its dimensions and built quality, but after 2000 RPM Linea behaves like a Diesel Rocket,

Plz don`t go with it`s specification, linea to be calibrate as YAMAHA R 15. because this bike has lower specs. but acctual performance is very punchy and marvellous, so the engine is noise free, don`t gives any vibration as high speed. A VERY INTELLEGENT ENGINE BY FIAT.

Ride Quality & Handling RIDE QUALLITY IS SUPERB, sitting position is excellent, but due to it is a big sedan it creates problem in parking(sometimes).

Final Words GO FOR LINEA- It is big, it is beautiful, it is MORE THAN VALUE FOR MONEY.

Areas of improvement TYRE SIZE should have 185/60-R15. for ACTIVE with alloy wheels.

AC, ENGINE, FEATURES, CONFIDENCE WHILE DRIVING,FUEL ECONOMY, RICH LOOKING,GROUND CLEARANCE 185mm.Tyres are more wide (195/60-R15). bcoz more grip creates more friction.

Exterior Its perfect balance beuty and brain, I drive this for last 4 years and seeing a upgrade but could not decide on which one.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) May be a touch screen pannel with GPS can do wonders. Very comfortable.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performance is quite good considering weight of the car, miss few more BHP a 120 + is a deal.

Ride Quality & Handling Here there is no maching, at even 120+ she is very responsible at curves ( I tried this at 140+).

Final Words If 140 + 2 ltr launched, I still will go for linea as a upgrade.

Areas of improvement Only after sales service, But I think with fiat already working on it and last few months I am happy with the spares and services by local service dealer in Thane.

Good Style, Excellent handling at curves, good fuel economyService ( but now a history after Fiat service available)

Exterior Good looks with strong body.The contours look awesome like a sexy lady.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quite good no issues except plastic quality to a small extrend.The inofrmation system on fuuel etc is accuraate and help in acheving better FE.The car is quite spacious for 5 peopel.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is awesome with good power in the class.The FE is 13-14 in congested Bombay trafiic and 19-21 on highway. The Gear box is any day better than the competitors with soft clutch.

Ride Quality & Handling Great no doubt about it. The steering is really reposive and the Suspension doenst let u feel the road and potholes

Final Words The car is great as am using it since last 3 years and driven  80000 Kms with no issues at all.

Areas of improvement The area was only service but I think is really iimproved now after Fiat opened it own SC. I think that is the issue faced by  Fiat owners and Fiat is taken care of it.

Looks, Hanling, Safety, mileageNothin much bur was service but really improved now

My Car search begun from July 2013 and end up with FIAT Linea TJet Emotion. I tested almost all cars in this segment (Vento, Verna, Scala, Sunny even Ecosport). I liked the Vento TDI a lot and booked instantly after the TD but later I declined it because of lot of negative feedbacks. Again, I started a long research for a good handling and performance car and I stopped on FIAT.

I did the TD for TJet and to be honest I didn’t like the ride and importantly this was post booking of Vento. I don’t know why but I decided to do the TD again on Delhi – Gurgaon Highway. I called the SE guy again to bring the car to my office in Gurgaon. The test drive experience this time was amazing and I was so happy with the car’s handling and ride. But after all, I have already booked the Vento TDI what to do now? I had few sleepless nights and finally I decided to cancel the booking on Vento TDI and booked the TJet on 2ndOct. The SE guy from Thrust FIAT is very nice and dealt so perfect with all my queries and concern. Finally, I got my car delivered on 20th Oct. as of now I have done only 758 km and I am so happy with my selection. After all Carwale forum has helped me a lot in taking this decision.

Exterior This is the best looking car in this segment. The build quality, suspensions are awesome. No doubt it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are good especially the Blue&me. Space and Comfort are fine for me. However, it’s missing the functionality to play songs from mobile.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Superb and just superb. 1368cc engine produces 114 PH and 20.7 Nm torque is amazing. Gearbox is a bit sticky but it’s ok not a big problem. FE would be bad for many but I am happy with the economy. I have already done a three time testing (Tankfull method) and it gave 12.1, 11 and 10. So its 11KMPL in an average.

Ride Quality & Handling This is what FIAT is known for. And i have been experiencing this. I am delighted with the car's handling and ride quality.

Final Words If you love to drive, there is no replacement of Linea TJet in this segment.

Areas of improvement Interiors and plastic quality.
