ஃபியட் லீனியா [2008-2011] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior It looks great! right?

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Its excellent for a small family like me, good spacious interior really good boot space. What else.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its one of the greatest thing that I seen with in this class, i have a diesel linea and i use this extensively from bangalore to kerala travel, believe me i ride around 30k km during this last 1 & 1/2 yrs, its engine is top notch and it gives really good milage if you ride at 80 ~ 100 range(around 1800 to 2000 rpm), even at 160 it gives around 20kmpl, 15k service interval and it wont cost you much (around 5k) what else you need? and it got a really good AC too.

Ride Quality & Handling Its superb i can say, my kerala house is in western ghats (idukki) so taking all hairpins with this beauty is very easy, i can say you wont get this experiance with any other car in this range, on highway its diffcult to beat this beauty even laura corolla finds it very difficult (if i am on the seat ..no way ;)

Final Words No need to look further, go for the diesel one, take my word and you wont regret i think.

Areas of improvement At this price. it gives me the best value for the money that i spend, I can compare with merc and tell so many places of improvements, but the price what i paid and value that i am getting is need to consider rather than it should have this. that etc.

Fuel economy,speedNothing as such!

Exterior Awesome. Defintely 'admiration guaranteed'. I still admire other Lineas that I see on the road. Can't resist it, yaar.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Awesome. The leather seats, blue & me, climate control. are all worth it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine - great

Fuel economy - so so

Gearbox - slightly stiff.

Ride Quality & Handling Awesome & Fandu. It just eats up the road when you're on the highway. My trips to Chennai, Mysore, Wayanad, etc are memorable because of the amazing ride quality. The shockers are nice & you don't feel the bumps too much (except if the car is fully loaded & it needs to go over our notorious speed breakers).

Final Words Just love driving it. can't wait to get behind the steering wheel. Even my wife likes driving the car ! It's been nearly a year since I bought the Linea T-Jet Plus, the romance still continues.

Areas of improvement  

Very few that a slight tweaking will take care of. the gearbox & mileage.

Great style, looks, pick-up, balance ... backed by some good service from Prerana motors (BLR)Just the 'C' pillar, which blocks some of the view.

Exterior FIAT Linea is argubly one the best looking sedan on the road. The elegant design is something which only the Italians could have conceptualised and executed in a car this well. The car looks stunning from every angle, unlike many of the creased tin plates we see these days. The LINEA is in a diffrent plane altogether.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Top Notch Seats, and Classy quintessential European Design. There arent any Cheap/Faux Wood to touch ups, the facia is clean, the seats are top noth, the Rear AC Vents offer excellent distribution of the cooling.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best Fuel Economy in its class. My Petrol Version Delivered 17km/Litre on the Highway.

Ride Quality & Handling The Best by a Mile. I have an expat neighbour who has ditched his BMW 3 Series for a FIAT LINEA T-JET. Need I say more.

Final Words The Best Car Money can buy Inside 12/13Lakhs. I would strongly recomend the new Diesel.

Areas of improvement None. The TATA FIAT Service at their Worli, Mumbai workshop is top notch. I had some minor issues and the guys fixed it completely free of cost.

Style, Comfort, Safety, Ride/Suspension, FeaturesNone

Exterior

 Excellent looks which actually facinated me to go for this car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Comfort is good in front as well as back seat, Interior styling is good but needs improvement in type of plastics used and needs more better finishing.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Excellent performance as per my experience to drive almost 5000 kms till date. Fuel economy is good in these range of cars especially diesel engine is better. Pick up not satisfactory, but still the overall ride is satisfying. Gearbox can be better.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality excellent in this range of cars. Turning radius is a concern, which is irritating sometimes. But still overall package is good compared to price offered.

Final Words

 This car is value for money esp. diesel.

Areas of improvement  

 Exterior - Front looks can be better.

Interior - Finishing can be better. Glove box of no use. Front cup holders of no use, and front arm rest is too long, which is a discomfort sometimes while shifting gears.

Turning radius needs improvement.

Being a premium car need better positioning of this brand at the dealerships.

 

Excellent Performance with good mileage, good exterior and interior style.Front look can be better

Exterior

 Stylish

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Quite plush and useful

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Wonderful after 36K KM

Ride Quality & Handling

 Cool

Final Words

 I am driving this beauty (self driven) for the last 2 years and 8 months (yes, 2 monsoons done in Mumbai). I am consistently getting 16.4 KMPL in my daily driving of 40 KMs (18 KM highway, rest all crawling traffic)from this mammothly big car with amazingly tiny diesel engine. Still I am not abale to figure out how this small engine powers this car effortlessly, even to a spped of 175 KMPH!!. At 100KM speed, the car even returned 23.4 KMPL on Pune-Mumbai express way.

Only concern I had beore buying this car was service by Tata Motors... but believe me the experience was not bad at all ans the car seldom needed going to the service sation.

I would love to upgrade to a Fiat MUV with 3 rows of seats if available. Fiat Freemont is an amazingly wonderful car but would be too expensive as a CBU. If they indegenise this model without compromising on any feature but modifying the ground clearance for Indian roads, this can be a great success.

Areas of improvement  

 Nothing actually, the poor ground clearance is already corrected in 2012 version.

 

Everything is goodAs such nothing

Exterior - EXCELLENT

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) - EXCELLENT NO DOUBT ATALL, ITS FAR BETTER THAN HONDA CITY AND OTHER CAR IN THIS SEGMENT, NO OTHER CAR CAN MATCH WHAT QULAITY AND WHAT FEATURES LINEA HAS GIVEN , ITS JUST LIKE BENZ AND BMW FEATURES WITH BEST PRICE AND COMFORT.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox - SUPERSONIC FIGHTER JETPLANE, WHEN U DRIVE STEP BY STEP ( U MUST KNOW HOW TO DRIVE LINEA ) THEN ITS MAGIC AND ITS JUST GOES AND FLY LIKE A JETSPEED BIRD ON THE ROAD.......... I FEEL TO ENJOY THIS CAR YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO RIDE THIS CAR AND THIS CAN BE EXPERIENCED IF YOU BUY THIS CAR AND YOU UNDERSTAND THE TECHNOLOGY AND DRIVING STYLE OF FIAT LINEA

 

Ride Quality & Handling - ITS LIKE AMUL BUTTER, AND GHEEE AND ITS ROCK WHEN U R ON EXPRESS HIGHWAY.

 

Final Words

 

Areas of improvement  

 

 

EXCELLENT CAR AND TECHNOLOGY WITH SPEEDSTILL NOT DISCOVERD

Exterior

Great Looks... Grills at front and corner curves gives it a rocking looks.

Colours are awsm.  

Built is very strong. each gate will weight 3 kgs more than a similar honda car

True to its line- Admiration is guranteed

I have driven this car for 30,000 Kms and it has been fun driving this car. It is poor man's audi. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Good leg space, great space in boot. Very comfortable. Blue & me is good. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 engine Rocks, fun to drive on highways. fuel economy is less compared to other cars in this range. Gear Box rocks

Ride Quality & Handling

 It is car for people with a heart. Runs rocking even at 160 KMPH. Very strong built gives a great balance while driving

Final Words

 Buy it if you have a passion for cars and if driving thrils you.

Dont buy it if you have a middle class attitude about mileage, spare parts being costly etc - Buy a Honda city  if you want to miss the fun of driving a CaaaaaaaaaaaaaaR

Areas of improvement  

 AC can be better 

 Music system can be better

Wonderful Car- Excellent design, classic interiors, very good drive on highways,sturdy builtRear AC, Low ground clearance, low on fuel economy

The exterior of the is obiously the best in the segment especially when viewed in profile. The Fiat style centre has done a good job to keep the lines flowing around the car to be continuous and curvaceous. I personally feel that the car should have been a bit more wider as this will make its presence felt a bit more.

The interior of the car is actually a nice palce to be until you keenly start observing certain plastic panel gaps, for example the covers housing the control stalks. The rear view operating switches could have been better, the AC vents operations could have had the same feel (the left one feels tight and the one on the right a bit loose). The AC could have been a bit more powerful that said, it does the job well compared to many of the cars in its class. There are a lot of thoughtful features that FIAT never mentions in its brochures such as speed sensitive seaker volume, sun blinds and various options available with Blue & Me and My car. 

The Engine is the best part of the car. I love this engine as it provides a robust performance and cruising on the highways is an absolute joy, however I find city driving to be bit hairy experience as the car tends to pounce resulting in stalling or having wheel spins. The gearbox is one of the best I have ever tried, its smooth to operate. The all 4 disc brakes coupled with ABS and EBD provide excellent stopping power on normal conditions, on sprited driving conditions the brakes tend to fade a bit. the fuel economy of around 12.5 to 13kmpl on highways is acceptacle for this weight and power exuded, but on city driving conditions I shudder to think.

The ride and handling characteristics are sublime, it feels at least 2 classes above. Also to be noted when one puts the foot down there will be torque steer. The car understeers in sharp corners when carrying in a lot of speed. Body roll is acceptable.

Its a good car if you want a highway cruiser, its very comfortable at doing high speeds and can easily keep up with a lot of big boys. More importantly though, it makes you feel special. I would say its a good buy for anyone who enjoys driving. I have so far not yet faced any service problems with this car.

The areas of improvement could be plastic quality, front windshied quality as there is a slight shift in vision at the centre of the windscreen, other than that I don't see much.

Thank you
