I did lots of research before I bought the car and some of the reviews also helped me a lot. If ur lookin at FIAT linea u must be considering 2 other cars viz Honda City & VW Vento. What excluded Vento & Honda city was the interiors and features available at the same price. plus u get a diesel variant not available in honda.(petrol prices have reached the roof!!!).

The car I have is FIAT Linea Emotion Diesel- Driven about 4500 kms in 3months

 

Exterior The day I took the test drive and brought the car in my building a lot of heads turned, I even got lots of ppl asking me about the car. Even today after 3-4 months of usage it still makes heads turn. The design is great looks like a really long car, the headlights make life easier when on national highways.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I bought the emotion variant and the features are amazing and detailing of the interiors is really good. The digital tachometer has lots of added functions for eg.shows names of song playing on radio as well as fm station, etc. The rear AC vents are god given for indian summers and the auto climate feature is good enuf. The car is really spacious I m 6 feet tall and as taller man can sit comfortably behind me on back seat. Three healthy adults can also fit comfortably. I love to drive but it is a car in which u want to sit on the back seat and reaaly enjoy the journeyit makes u feel special and royal(but i still love to drive it myself).

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Well it is UNDERPOWERED as they say but not a snail at all it beats most cars out at start, it is faster when torque sets in.Riding on long journey isnt tiresome d/t arm rest and also doesnt require freq gear changes at high speeds.The engine is amazingly quiet for a diesel engine (if u pick petrol variant u wont even know its on). The fuel economy is great got almost 18-20km/ltr when on national highway (mum-shirdi;mum-pune) in the city close to 13.5 -14 km/ltr after 1st 3000kms.The gear shift is great really smooth.

 

 

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality and handling is excellent if i could give it 10/5 it wouldnt be an overstatement.

 

Final Words EXCELLENT car, total value for money.

 

Areas of improvement I think after sales service is a major dissapointment atleast they shud have specialist mech, for FIAT at TATA service centre's and would love a more powered diesel variant.

 

Excellent design, great interiors, good fuel economy.....Looks much costlier than its priceUnderpowered, low baseline ( hits speed breakers wen relatively full), bad after sales service
