Palio SDX Best in its class

Well I have owned this car for more than three months now and the only word which I have is WOW. The engine was noisier till first service but post that it has improved , become faster and to tell you the fact this car handles the best on high speeds and also takes up every pothole and speed breaker with a smile. The AC is chiller to the core and best part everyone was complaining of the service in that if any FIAT ensures they are taken care off . The customer care of tata has improved and is taking every concern very seriously. Looking at the commitment now one just has to buy the car. What more can one ask the car has a 150000 km warranty. I really was looking to buy the swift Diesel cause I was driving one of my friends but just because of the waiting shifted to palio any you bet , now I dont regret it. The car has more space, handles better in any road conditions and the best part the lag is not there and it definitely is fast and smooth. FIAT has made this a bit more refined than Swift. Now the car has done 7500 KMs two services. Have driven it onthe worst and the best of roads, at times I felt bad on what kinda roads I am taking my new car on but even te allignment has not gone bad. This car is really sturdy and handles much better than any other on indian roads. Would advise test drive it before you decide on any.

7 Dec 2010 Update:- Have now completed a little over 50000 KMS. Car still runs as good as new. The clutch is the same heavy, economy has improved ,has given economy of 24 kmpl in recent shimla trip. Have faced no service or repair issues infact now have a lot of service options. The car is good and sturdy , only problem is with airconditioning gas leak and water condensing in the cabin that too this summer but has been sorted.  Parts Requirement :- None ( only Accidental). Service has been normal. Service cost nominal 2500-3500 varies as oil filter is replaced only 15000 kms. 

Problems:- quite heavy Clutch , Goodyear stock tyres wore very early(24000KM). Got Bridgestone 4 Tyres, no abnormal wear. AC Gas leak this summer,

Accidents:- No Major. A santro rammed at very high speed from back. The santro was totally damaged, palio's bumper had to be replaced. Some junkies damaged Windshield ( Theft Attempt). Had to be replaced.
