Fiat Linea Wheels-Tyres

Yes, it’s really cliched, but all good things have got to come to an end. After three months of daily driving and living with it, I’ve had to wave goodbye to our Fiat Linea 125S. Being a heavy, fuel guzzler, there was never any rush to grab the keys among fellow testers but now that it’s left our fleet, it will be missed.

I am happy to report that my love of small turbocharged petrol engines has only been augmented since I took charge of our Fiat Linea 125S long termer. Although I was initially sceptical about its compact engine having to lug the Linea’s heft, I’ve grown to appreciate the motor’s everyday potential.

Like all car enthusiasts, I like getting the keys to a new car, but I was more than looking forward to get behind the wheel of our new Fiat Linea 125S simply because of its unique albeit questionable credentials. Simply put, the Linea has managed to carve out a niche for itself as an interesting choice among the C-segment brigade and the 125S, in particular, is aimed squarely at performance-minded buyers and scores high when it comes to fun factor.
