Fiat Linea User Reviews

New Linea FL Emotion Diesl model.

I bought New Fiat Linea early this year..till date i drove 3000k which includes hilly and long drives of 1500 KM. the ride experience was amazing...what a comfort, stability , balance, grip..truly outstanding.. in hilly section ABD EBD works fantastically..also the staring does not required to operate much on even steady and sharp curves.. leg space , seat adjustment and back support is very good..overall its perfect product even for City ride ..length doesn't mater at all..only need extra space for parking...rest is fine..engine requires at least 1000KM to set and then it gets better and better day by day..highly recommenced to people who are keen to know safety, comfort and engine performance..Suggestion to buy Emotion pack whicg comes with 16 inch 205 mm alloy wheels for solid comfort on ride with company fitted leather covers. and many more features.

Check the ride qaulity for long test drive when buying..so that you know the diffrence between others and Fiat.

Running 46K, Purchased in June 2016 Buying: SkyMoto, Pune provided me very flexible assistance and allowed me a variety of test rides - In city, on rough road, on highway with different load experience. This was my demand and the sales team was ready for that. I tested Petrol as well as Diesel version. Dealer provided me banking finance assistance. I conducted pre-dispatch inspection for the car allocated for me before the documents go to RTO for registration. Everything was up to the mark. Riding: Engine pulls automatically to maintain the required speed in a respective gear in city ride which reduces the frequent gear shift. No lag even before the turbo kicks off. Thanks for improved tunning. Highway - Very stable while highspeed drive. I usually drive with 140-150 Km/hr whenever traffic permits me. Complete control due to powerful breaking with EBS, EBD. Feels so powerful in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear. Cruise Contol makes me more comfortable for the longer run. Looks: Sturdy and unique look from Fiat. Interior is decent. Cabin decoration lights are provided with the thought not to distract the driver from road visibility, Performance: Linea is superior. I tested all the vehicles mostly for six months. I found competitive feel only in Scoda rapid. Servicing: Once a year or 15000 km and really it proved for me. I never ever have to visit the service center in between. Once done. Forget it. Maintenance: The service cost for total three years may be around 20K. Which may be less than other brands which has 10K run or 6 monthly cycles. Pros: - Ride is smooth, Powerful turbo, and AC. - Once turbo kicks off.. you are in JET flight. - Decent music system. Owner can replace to required specification. - Seats are spacious with super fine leather. - Mileage: In City I get 15 Km/lit, On highway I get between 18 to 24. it depends upon at what speed I drive. I get 28 Km/lit if I drive between 60 to 70 km/hr with cruise control on. Cons: - No AMT (those who are looking for). Personally, I enjoy manual transmission. I can accelerate to my desired RPM before I engage the gear. - Tyres are costly for the size 205, 55 R16. Maybe due to required quality to sustain the weight and speed for these category vehicles. Advise to Fiat car owners: Please be patient on servicing since only one center in Pune. Just give them a few more hours to get the service done superiorly.

now, i think fiat has stopped it's production, it is strongly built, you can feel it's as heavy on the road, not suitable for bumper to bumper traffic,highly suitable for high way driving because it has good pick up from 3rd and fourth gears, initial pick up is low, gives 20 kmpl mileage in highways, in city it gives 12 kmpl mileage. hyadralic steering makes driving realistic and you can enjoy the driving. i love fiat linea.

Exterior I really liked it when I first saw it. The exterior styling and looks are still one of the best! 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent amount of space inside. May be a little uncomfortable for tall people.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have now owned the car for 3.5 years (>70k km)  and enjoyed it. Being a diesel it is a little heavy but once in 4th gear it can be a beast. Mileage with AC in summers in about 12 kmpl and in winters about 14 kmpl. The car still drives as good as new. Have taken it to many outdoor trips.

Ride Quality & Handling You accept a little heaviness as it is a diesel car. However it is comfortable inside. AC is good and trouble free. Handling is good. Drives like a dream on highway particularly yamuna expressway.

Final Words Having owned both Honda City and Fiat Linea I have no hesitation recommending Linea for its styling, fuel economy and ruggedness.

Areas of improvement I guess the music system is now full featured. Interior can be more plush. Better ground clearance would be good.

Hay friends my name is Shiv Mene ye car gorgaawo hariyana se Liya tha pahle socha ki kisi aam car ki thrah hogi Lekin nhi ye to ek rocket hai isme behtne ke baat pata chata hai ki Mai kaha hi kis gadi Mai hu is car maxium speed 220 hai jo mast is car se mane race lagai hai jo mane sceropio Ko piche kyia hai apna apna najriya jisko jo pasand Wahi le Lekin meri pahli pasand hogie fiat lenia kitne logo ne mere gadi ki tarif ki thi wo movie dekhi hi hogi aapne Tarzan the wonder car same wese hi thi Hamri gadi jaha bhi niklti logo ke muh se yahi sune Ko milta ki car nhi hahakar hai yaar ye lambi jaahaj hai

Exterior

 look majestic and gorund clearance is good enough of 180mm. fit and finish are good, 16 inch wheels and big tyres looks the car more premium and ruggest  

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 interior are look good. black and beige theme is not boring yet.. comfortable front seat and rear too but in rear two occupants are good rather three is little bit tight. blue & me are nice touch to the car infotainment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine performance is too low at starting and overtaking. but above 2000rpm its enough... i dnt feel VGT works in car, it works smooth on highway. in hilly area the car is different with VGT it give more power with respect to our acceleration. but very very smooth engine. i drove many car but this is more smooth. fuel economy is good, gives 18-19kmpl in highway with auto AC mode. with full auto AC mode it gives 16.8kmpl. i drove 10000km

Final Words

 

Areas of improvement  

 

 

good look, better ground clearance, lots of features, good space, smart interior,initial power is very low, need more colour option

Exterior Stylish exterior with best in class ground clearance and length. Look wise definitely best looking sedan in country in this segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is stylish as well with Piano black dashboard with beige combination. Looks stunning with ambient lighting. Very conformable front seats with lot of leg room (I am 6”3). The rear space can be made better though.

Love the Blue and Me and seamless synching. Great Visibility with powerful headlamps. Suspension set is great as well. Overall looks quite luxurious inside the cabin. One segment up for sure.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The Power produced by 1.3 L diesel engine is just enough to drive anywhere. There is a turbo lag until you reach 1200 RPM though. But one needle passes 2000 RPM you get full boost of Tourqe and it takes off.

Good Fuel Economy. I got 19.6/L on log drive (800 KM). Gearbox not so smooth but very convenient. Overall drive is quite enjoyable and relaxed.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality of Linea is astonishing. The ABS works perfectly at high speed and hardly any problem at high speed on turns. I drove this Vehicle @140/KMPL on Bangalore-Pune highway, but Vehicle was rock Solid on road. I felt could have Goan even further easily. Noise insulation is ok too considering a Diesel car. It is too good for a car with has 185 MM of ground clearance and 16 inch Alloy Wheels.

Final Words Love this car. Not sure why you don't too many of them on Road. I am a happy customer so far 😄.

Areas of improvement

1. Although 1.3 L Diesel Engine is enough, but considering the build quality of the car 1.6 L engine would be great for Drivers.

2. Auto foldable ORVM and provision of Sunroof will make this car even more feature rich.

Good Fuel Economy, Stylish Interiors and Exterior, Wonderful Handling and suspension set up.Lack of utility space inside the car. Turbo lag under 1200 RPM like any Diesel car in this segment.

Exterior It is nice looking car exterior vies.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior also nice looking, behind the 2nd row seat and above boot area, material used is not good quality and not matching to the class.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent engine performance and fuel economy, gear shifting is not smooth like Honda city. 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride qulity quite rigid and stable in city and highways, but efforts on styring is quite high compare to Honday city and also on rough roads stying rotates as tyres gets input from road. 

Final Words Good Car in the segment, only if considered with disel as fuel. 

Areas of improvement Interior plastic quality, specially behind 2nd row seat and above boot area. Stay ring mechanism need to change to electronic. Let see how maintenance costs in the future. Fiat should work on service stations. Fiat should have agressive marketing strategy. Good vehilce considering safety aspect.

Good Fuel economy, Good style, safe carBad interior parts material quality, bad stayring efforts

Exterior Similar to Audi, fillet every where, it’s a smooth everywhere.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Even though not great, but nothing much to complaint, But there is no Aux-in option available. Every time, you need to copy the files into pen drive and play. This is the only big complaint I have.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox In last 4.6 years drover over 48,000 KM, on an averge I got about 20 KMPL (in all road & weather condition).

Ride Quality & Handling This is where I find Linea is superior than any other car. Great handling, tried max speed of 165 KMPH, but no problem. It just do what you say. Tried cornering even at 120 KMPH, heard tyre noise, but handling...cool....I got 2011 model with less ground clearance, but Fiat offered the option to increase the ground clearance. Haven't found any big difference. So far, only big change, changed all four tyres after 36,000 KM. Otherwise everything is fine, even the battery, brake. Haven't spend anything apart from Ground clerance kit and 4 tyres.

May people advised not to go for Fiat, but I took the chance. No regret at all. Infact, after I drove other car, I feel lot better that I didn't make any mistake by choosing any other car.
