New Linea Review Post Driving 3000 Kms

Exterior The New Linea Looks good especially after the rear has been changed with the new number plate being push to the Boot Lid.The chrome and liberally used chrome does add a good feel to the car. Still feel the handles should be full chrome. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks great Inside with the new Soft Touch Dash and Nicely Finished Dash Board.Music System Design looks but yes gives a mix of classic and modern looks.The back seat is very comfortable and this car is among the forty cars I drove before buying which has both driver's and rear seat passengers equal comfort.

As I said you do get a premium Feel.Look at the roof when you get inside and from the fabric used you will be able to judge difference between this car and the other cars in terms of premium feel.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Yes it does have a Turbo Lag at lower Gears and feels sluggish in initial pick up.but post that its a fun to drive vehicle. Have minimal noise inside the cabin and does give a very smooth ride.The fuel economy clocked on Mumbai-Pune Expressway was 21km/l and City average is 14km/l at an average speed of 22km. The gera is rubbery but is smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling The best drive for Fiat is on the open roads and it is a very comfortable car to drive. I havent had the luxury of sitting at the back but on the feedback has been good for pillion riders.A small point to add is that Linea is an easier car to get in and get out of it and it is an important features especially for the elders.  

Final Words I would say if people are out there to decide to buy a goof product and dont go out to buy just the brands,Fiat will offer them a surprise as was evident with my collegues who bought other brands in this segment.

Areas of improvement Definately require more service centres.Still need to expereince their service levels.
