PALIO 1.2 AND 1.6: Wonderful cars of the year launched in India last month.
For their price, no other cars in India can match their loads of features and they are all hi-tech in specification and quality. what a load!
32 bit processor, 16 valve engines, high mounted stop light on the rear, Power steering so smooth, lighted power window switches conveniently located, excellent suspension systems, sharp response of the engine in spite of the heavy body(1015 Kgs), overdrives on 4th and 5th gears, superbly stronger chassis that can simply brush aside any knocks from behind or front, and so on. terribly loaded with hi-tech features. Yet at a price that out-beats others in its category.
Congrats Fiat! Keep this spirit up in your future models too.
Bring out a Sedan of similar construction(not like Siena which has a huge behind posing problem for reversing).!
Hey Fiat! What prevented you, gentlemen, from loading a good Audio System as you loaded your Siena?
Hey car lovers!. never be misled by a lopsided review in OVERDRIVE, (a magazine owned by Tatas who produce the useless beauty called Indica whose design is from Italy the land of Fiat) about fuel consumption and stupid comparison with Indica V2. which is commonly claimed to have a petrol tank with a hole. Let us belive in Originals and not the copies or a mixture of everything from here and there. like our Indian Constitution. Mixtures or Blends do not last long and are always a nuisance like INDIAN CONSTITUTION!.(THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA IS A BLEND OF BRITISH, IRISH, FRENCH AND AMERICAN RIGID AND FLEXIBLE CONSTITUTIONS. OUR ELDERS BORROWED A PARA FROM THIS AND FROM THAT AND BLENDED THEM TOGETHER TO MAKE OUR CONSTITUTION. RESULT: JAYALALITHA OF TAMIL NADU WHO WAS SENTENCED FOR THREE YEARS IMPRISONMENT BY COURTS, HAS RULED THE STATE AND IS STILL RULING THE STATE FROM BEHIND THE SCREEN. THERE IS NO PROVISION IN OUR CONSTITUTION TO SAVE THE STATE FROM SUCH MOCKERY. OUR CONSTITUTION IS SO RIGID WHEN WE NEED AMENDMENTS.IT WAS FLEXIBLE IF PEOPLE LIKE INDIRA GANDHI WAS AT THE TOP. DO YOU NEED ANY BETTER EXAMPLE OF BLENDS?
INDICA IS A BLEND OF ITALIAN DESIGN(FROM THE SAME MAN WHO DESIGNED PALIO(SHELL ONLY) PLUS INDIAN ENGINE AND OTHER PARTS. RESULT IS: IF ONE WORKS THE OTHER DOESN’T.LIKE WE INDIANS WHO NEVER AGREE ON ANYTHING TOGETHER EVEN IF IT IS CORRECT AND USEFUL.)
NOW, FOR PALIO.With a little over a tonne of body weight, which ensures a good road grip, and smoothdrive, can you not afford a little more fuel for that comfort? I test drove both the cars(1.2 and 1.6 and each is a class in its own. The other small car manufacturers are put behind the Palio.
This is a very good value for your money.
Go ahead with confidence.
