The Best Ride in Superhatch

Since it was bought in July 2009, it has given an average of around 13kmpl of petrol in city driving. Overdrive magazine claims it to give 16kmpl in city and 19 kmpl on highway. This is Fiat India's most petrol economic model ever. So, I expect that mine's economy is going to get better than the present 13kmpl after the first service, due any time soon!

The ride is excellent, and steering is very responsive. The cabin noise level is perhaps the lowest among the hatchbacks. The build quality is superbly sturdy; just listen to the door thuds!

Pickup in first gear is fair, second gear pull is quite good, but third gear pull is a bit tardy, fourth gear drive is fine. The dead-pedal (left foot-rest) is uncomfortably close to the clutch-pedal. The driving seat is okay, and it takes time to adjust oneself comfortably, perhaps because of the absence of thigh rest.

Looks stunningly cute - always gets stares and head-turns from the roadsters!
