Fiat Palio [2001-2005] 1.2 ELX

I could not have asked for a better car to learn driving on. What a graceful beast this vehicle was. Gave good mileage compared to what they claimed. Has lived he full fifteen years and will live longer. Whoever made an investment in this car will love a fiat for the solid build quality, and that's what really matters at the end of the day!

Exterior The design is smart with distinctive fiat badge in the centre of the bonnet which gives it an impressive look. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) O.K. however, there is occassional problem in watching the side traffic due to the front door pillars as they obstruct your view and you have to be extra watchful by shifting your position in the seat. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It is slow on the pick-up in city traffic, more so with A/c on , the pick-up drops cosiderably and you have to engage low gears. Fuel economy is low. Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality is quite good and handling at high speed is also very good. Final Words Fiat produces some of the best cars in the world but a Good Car and the Fiat brand has been  killed by bad after sales service in India. Areas of improvement To improve after sales service the Compay should go in for independent dealer network instead of tying up with other companies and depending on them.No maintenance except for the periodicaloil-changingNo after sales service.
