A Bet that paid off well!

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.
