    DRIVING:

    Beautiful and the most contemporary design; Italian styling seeps from every corner. Poor man's Alfa Romeo! The front quarter glass is an addition which wasn't existing in Siena and is a welcome thing as it provides good view of the corners. Perhaps the only car that looks great from every angle! The front arm rest at times may interfere with changing gears unless you are on the fifth gear and driving on an uninterrupted expressway! Build quality may be on par with its competitors but not the old Siena or Opel Astra/Corsa European build quality. I could clearly see the thin guage of its sheet and window glass panes. The thud of Old Siena when you close the door is missing. Reminded me more of a Ford Fiesta/Ikon, Honda City. The most impressive part of the design is how beautifully the front curves slope! It gives you, while driving,  ample room to steer away from the vehicle ahead without inflicting a scratch on your bumper. Unlike Mitsubishi Cedia which is purely a drivers car, this like an Optra or a Corolla (though not quite in the same segment) is a good trade off between drivers comfort and rear seat passenger comfort. Matches Indian expectations.  Fiat like other European car modifications to suit Indian conditions has shifted only the steering to the right without shifting the fuel cap to the otherside. This resulted both the steering wheel and fuel cap on the same side causing discomfort to the driver to look at the meter reading at gas stations; the driver has to strain his/her neck to get a clear view at the gas meter reading at fuel stations.

    Great style, Good fuel economy, Rear seat comfort with AC VentsBuild quality is not as good as that of old Siena; perhaps a compromise for better fuel efficiency;
