    Exterior I bought 2012Linea-Emotion last month after 3months of research on different brands in this segment. The New tuscan wine color of 2012 Linea with fiat's original rear spoiler stands really top at its stylish looks in its segiment. Its like a perfectly matured wine in a vitrous bottle. The increased ground clearence with 16" alloy adds to it complete Architecture and gives a pride of a high end cars.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The 2012 Linea Emotion is the top most model in their list which comes with imported leather upholstery and feature packed. The black and beige interiors with crome trims adds to the class of the luxury. The seats are very comfortable and the aircons are tuned to perfection. Features are at power with any highend cars those like voice command, blue&me, etc. in addition to it there is a rear curtain and back-lit vanity mirrors . Receiving and making calls through Blu & me option is very comfortable and safe as all of us needs this while driving in long traffic. Bottle holders are something which could have been incorporated. Even though the steering is adjustable it seems to be slightly higher.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is pretty good and smooth except the power is less initially. Considering facts that the brands like ferrari to Swift diesel runs with fiat engine.. there is no words to add on to it... I am yet to get the best and real efficiency on the milage as its hardly run 600Km. Gear box is smooth enough effortless shift.  

    Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is amazing with its improved ground clearence of 185mm and 16" alloy wheels no badly damaged roads can bother you. Due to the increased ground clearence the feel while driving is just like in lower SUV.. more secured and safe. Handling is very neat and clean even in a congested traffic,narrow roads to clear highway the vehical just sails with out any bumps.

    Final Words It appears that fiat had taken all your feedback seriously and sincerly worked on correcting it like the points mentioned by all of you in your earlier feedback on the 'lower Ground clearence' , Air conditioning etc. Thanks to all of you. I bought this Italian 'master piece' from Prerana Motars-Bangalore... the experience was real good. Hoping that even the after sale service will also be taken care...  This car is the best in it class for the money we pay... from all perspective of Styling, Comfort, features and safety.. your admiration is definitly Guaranteed
      "I am a proud owner of this exquisite Italian beauty in wine gown".

    Areas of improvement Needs little more power for initial pickup but its just a minor concern.
