You bet! It is going to be a best seller

Well, I don;t own it yet, but eager to own. In theprocess, I have done enough research (on the net, speaking to owners, speaking to old car dealers etc.). Ihave the following viwes 1. If you are looking for a car which will give you POWER,style,stunning looks,space,safety,great ride,comfort and you don't want to pay more than 6 lacs odd (well after the discounts), please don't think twice 2. If you want the above and looking for a fuel economy of more than 10kmpl in city with a/c on, don't waste your time and don't evaluate this car. (Please note fuel economy greatly depends on the driving conditions and the locality where you drive. The above and below mentioned figure is only an idea and based on some user feedback. Hence actual fuel economy may differ) 3. Having said that, tell me which cars with 1.6 litre, DOHC engine gives you more than 10 in city (Mumbai city) with a/c on. Let's look at the cars in the catagory. Accent, gives about 9-9.5, Ford - gives about 7.5-8kmpl, Optra, gives you about 8kmpl, Baleno gives you about 10kmpl and the Honda City VTEC gives you about 9-10kmpl. All thes cars will cost you approx 1,00,00 - 3,00,000 more than the adventure. 4. Having spoken to many owners of this car, they have only praises about this car. They confirm a fuel economy of about 9kmpl with a/c on in Mumbai city. Worst being 8kmpl and best being 10-11kmpl. On the highways, if you drive this car at around 2500 rpm, you will get aprox. 13 kmpl with a/c on. My friend who owns an Indigo petrol, gets 9kmpl in City and 11kmpl on highways. 4. What do you get in this price:- Fully loaded with Power Steering, Power Windows,central Locking, Adjustable Steering, leather wrapped steering wheel, gear knob, Allow Wheels, 4 fog lamps, tubeless Pirelli tyres, Rear defogger, rear wiper, front bull bar, twin roof rails...hmmm lot of stuff. 5. What is holding this car to become best seller. I should say perception of buyers. Let me tell you that my experience with the delaers has been extremely good (Wasan Motors, Anuroop and Fortune Cars). They are quite responsive and very well mannered. I have cheked with the existing owners, and they say they have no issues with the car and the after sales service. The spare parts costs have also come down drastically due to localisation. 6. Finally, I spoke to FIAT India's Sales Person. He assures that they will not commit the old mistake of poor A-S-S again. I can understand, as winner Palio which was one of the leaders in the sales figures in the hacth back catagory in early 2002 went bunk due to poor response from the dealers. And mind you, there is the new generation Paio on cards and about to be lanched in this September(Most probably) 7. Tata-Fiat tie up is really taking off and I guess there is not much reason to worry. My verdict, if you can keep your perception oriented mind aside and think performance and quality and want to mix it with lot of driving pleasure, this car will help you win.Great Space, Comfort, Safety, Pick up, Ride and Handling, Great LooksNot so good interior
