1. Buying Experience: Though I bought this car in 2015 April, from Pandit Auto, Pune, I had to go with a really bad experience. I booked a vehicle and got a confirmation as well. On the day of delivery, I got a call to take a vehicle, when I went there, they told my vehicle was never booked. I immediately raised a complaint in Fiat Sales dept, and then after somehow I got the vehicle. 2. Riding Experience: Initial days, the ride quality was good, but as the time passed by, I used to get a typical noise coming from front left suspension. Many times the front suspension top mount was changed, but noise never eliminated. Second dealer technician, I got hard time time to make him show the noise. But still nothing got solved. However, I did a root cause analysis of my own vehicle and found that front left body suspension tower strut mounting holes are having larger size, which is creating a noise when vehicle vehicle goes onto bumps @ typical speeds. However, the concern is still there, No solution from Fiat . 3. Looks are ok, I would rate them 2/5, as from last several years, they didnt even though of doing a facelift on the same platform rather than providing basic bumper changes & rear facia slight change. However, Interior quality was improved and looked much plush & luxurious. On the performance, the vehicle weight to power ratio is slightly dull here. 1.3 L Multijet Diesel engine has lot of turbo lag. You have to keep the rpm above 1800, as a sweet spot to enjoy driving. Ghat driving gets really pathetic, you have to constantly drive the vehicle in 2nd or 1st gear. 4. Servicing & Maintainance of this vehicle is OK, its neither reasonable nor very expensive. However, components are costly (some). Like Wiper, one wiper out of two cost around ?1500. So if you have to change two, then you have to spend ?3000, which is damn expensive. It could have been made cheaper within common man's range. 5: Pros & Cons: Pros: Only vehicle in those old days to provide dual stage airbags, roll up security codes, crash safety Seating comfort (front & rear) Boot Space Ground clearance (190 mm) Handling Cons Turbo Lagged Engine Rubberised shifting, 1st gear notchy Steering on harder side slightly (hydraulic) Steering reverse inputs are much higher to control over even slight indulations on road Less powered engine for such a big car NO resale value
