फिएट लिनिया [2008-2011] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

 

Exterior Pretty good looking.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious, although would like more place for keeping things.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is good but fuel economy is not good.

Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable, but the low GC is a pain, and then to increase the GC you need to pay. well I think FIAT been sleeping or they just thought lets charge extra for GC if they agree well and good and if not we will see. buth the problem of GC is so big nobody just asked anything and went ahead. FAIL you should provide the GC kit FOC as its your fault to introduce a car with such low GC for indian road. You know this is right that is why you changed the GC in the new version.

Final Words I bought the car because FIAT had tie-uo with TATA and so had many service centres, but probably FIAL was sleeping over the issue. They new very well that tie-up is going to end and then what nothing they just slept over now in Delhi there are only 02 service centres and that two in the 02 extreme conrers of delhi One is pathetic, so now go to other which is 35 kms away. My suggestion DON'T BUY FIAT CAR TILL THEY OPEN MORE SERVICE CENTRES, YOU HAVE BETTER OPTIONS WITH OTHER COMPANIES WHO VALUE YOUR MONEY.

Areas of improvement FIAL you have to own up the responsibility of the low GC and now must offer it FOC or atleast own 50% of the respnisibility as we made a decision to buy this car. Secondly. Open service centre at once and till then no should not sell any more cars.

Exterior

1. I loved it for the superb styling, now the updgraded front grille is my favourite.

2. Awesomely designed lights, tail lights are the best in class

3. Nobody could probably beat the boot space.

 

But the lights have gaps in the front and back and doesn't properly align with other parts.

My Linea TJet has gap b/w the front bonnet fenders and the lights. Dealer said its common with all Linea's and have seen most of them have these alignment issues. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 1. Nice space inside and a very comfortable driving position (I'm used to Swift and felt better with Linea).

2. Many mentioned issue for tall people although I myself didn't feel any issues, I'm 5'11 and fit comfortably in the back and front.

 

The interiors again have alignment issues near key,steering,center console.

The seat belt retractors were not functioning properly after 3years and need to be checked.

Lot of settings, no proper manual leaves you thrilled with lot of hidden features.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The engine and performance were quite good in Hyderabad like city and I faced no issues in years until suddenly one day the 'Linea Didn't Start'. Service centre has no clue of what's happening. A.V.Motors Hyderabad, authorised said might have to spend 14k on some internal part. And they themselves were not sure why?. padlock symbol, is ghostly and sometimes blinks during rainy season. I loved the car and now I literally want to scrap it for leaving in the middle of road with no clue.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The steering is a bit stiff, but on a whole never been straining in City.

On Highway and long drives It's a boon.

Final Words

 Good car. Badly documented,serviced.

Areas of improvement  

 Service is the worst nightmare if you're planning to buy fiat.

Recently read some news about aggresively improving customer service, in Sept2015 I don't see any improvement.

 

I'm a fan of the styling comes from FIAT, attracted me to buy Linea TJet.Awkwardly placed USB now being corrected. Engine ghostly issues. Service centres are not knowledgeab

I have 2 more sedan car but I feel so comfortable in this car that's why I drive this one overall can say this car is awsome for a budget, performance, and service soo guys don't be think about this car just grab it

Hello Linea Guys,

I have booked Emotion Pack Petrol version.......Wanted to know about the efficiency and milage. Around 12 -14 kmpl will be great for this car size in city.

I saw linea first at Concorde Motors,Mysore Road,Bangalore.Displayed Emotion Pack Diesel .Quite Stuuning looks with that Front Grill pointing out like angry young man ....like HULK.Rear side Classy and all the curves exposes the right blend of classic and modren italic design.Quite a Competitor to a new honda city by looks.

It was pretty anxious moment as the price list announced while i was present there with my father.Actually we were almost done with SX4 but at last moment i held back as i saw linea at car and bike show at NDTV Profit.

About the price its mouth watering especially emotion pack petrol in regard with verna,SX4, city and Fiesta. I went through the features & found BLUE & ME interesting.Thanks to Rear A/C vents.Materials Used for interiors are better than SX4 and City..i like the Dash very much.

Overall we liked Linea with Full Heart and proud to be owner of that pretty soon.We also need to Belive that TATA-FIAT joint hands will support Linea Service.

Competition like this where Linea in front of SX4,Verna , Fiesta and City make Other Automobile gaints to bring up new exciting cars. We never know when this Hot Cake Linea will start to feel like a paste.............future will tell.

PLease address me about petrol engine ..its efficiency milage.

Thanks with Regards

Looks, Built quality,interior space,Loaded with featureshead room ..but its a compromise for that curvy look..

i want to know a few things from any technical guy reading this..

disadvantage of hydraulic power stering( Linea) vs. electronic one. ?

difference between the suspensions of Linea & ANHC?

(LINEA --Front Suspension Independent wheel, , Helicoidal Springs, Double acting Telescopic Dampers and Stabilizer Bar Rear Suspension Torsion Beam, Helicoidal Springs and Double acting Telescopic Dampers and Stabilizer Bar. ANHC--Front Suspension	McPherson Strut with Stabilizer, Coil Spring
Rear Suspension	Torsion Beam Axle with Stabilizer, Coil Spring)

does higher rpm means shorter engine life ??

have the Fiat guys compromised on technical things in exchange for goodies like Blue and Me etc?

What if these high end things malfunction,, will the TATA people know how to repair blue & me etc ( the software part of the car) ?

how is this car doing in countries where it has been for sometime, and is it the same thing that we are getting here( so we may compare them together..?)

any othe tech. specs( adv/disadv) anybody can highlight ?? thanx

Exterior - Marvellous looking Sedan, best in India, awesome colours, colours availabel in T Jet mut be made available to other variants too.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)- Space somewhat crampy over front, no bottle holders in door [space provided is useless], excellent features especially Mycar, no remote for music system.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox- Gear shift not so smooth, gives 16kmpl in city with automatice climate control, very low engine on the inside, superb on highway, a masterpiece.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent, extremely smooth on rough roads.

Final Words - Great engineering going wasted by poor marketing and service; really feel sad for all those who have worked so hard to bring such a masterpiece; one of the best examples of excellent product gone wasted by poor marketing.

Areas of improvement Aggressive marketing, Own sales and service; it's really a shame for the company when everybody is taken away by the car but then asks where is it available?, never heard of this car? never seen any showroom etc.

Looks, Best diesel engine, Classy interiors [what more does one want in a car]Build quality not upto mark, poor dealer network & service

 

Test Drove Manza, SX4 Diesel & linea & Fell in love with linea, They are offering huge discounts too.

Exterior Awesome Exterior, looks to die for, a sure head turner.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features- Superb, Stylish, & at the same time Advanced, Won`t find even one unneeded gadget.

Space- Good in the Front, little bit less in rear, 3 persons & u might feel cramped.

Comfort- No Match, at another level, Front rear anywhere & everywher..its super luxurious, might feel like seating in a BMW or some thing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance is gr8..& par  ne other. car in its segment.

(can say that having driven SX4 Diesel & Manza)

Doesn feel like driving a diesel car..awesome pick up once turbo comes into play.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is also good & Handling is gr8 too specially when taking speedy curves.

Final Words No matter wat the other reviews say, I liked it a lot n m gonna go for it.

Areas of improvement Increase  legroom... been here long enough time to establish now for fiat.

Best Looking, Too Comfortable specially for driver (with hand rest behind gear knob a boon), infoRear Headroom, Rear Legroom, Rear Shoulder room

 

Exterior Fantastic. You have to study the car closely to love it. She is very very beautiful. You will fall in love again & again.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) With little publicity & worst marketing, New Buyers have to take time, study & compare Linea with all other makes & models to realise what a great car & deal LINEA is! (First class car - wonder why the marketting & retailing of FIAT is so bad)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Avg  Fuel economy is 12 KM (Petrol car). For the size & weight of the car, it is great.

Ride Quality & Handling Fantastic. You are driving a Air Force Fighter plane.

Final Words Worth the spend & you will feel that you have made a informed decision.

Areas of improvement Engine power. Body clearance. For the weight of the car & low body, it touches speed breakers & pot holes are to be avoided.

Great Styling, Features, Space, Fuel Economy is okYou feel Engine power is some times less for the Car

Exterior The flow of the lines of the car are amazing nothing seems out of sync.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) For the price good interiors, plastics are sturdy.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is quiet, to start is slow but once on the move is able to pick up speed and slow down easily, on highways can drive in 5th gear without much downchanges, even at 1500 rpm picks up. But in the city do need frequent gear changes. Getting on highway 16 kmpl and city 11 kmpl with ac.

Ride Quality & Handling Good is able to handle most bumps on the road, even on narrow ghat roads feel confident about the car.

Final Words Service is friendly and TATA seems to be getting it right.

Areas of improvement power at lower end needs to be better, needs a better PR campaign, it has a bad name despite being a good car.

Good style, large boot spacePoor rear view
