First of all, it is the best in its class and price range.the black colour looks superb..you will not notice that you are in a diesel car..not at all.
Advantages
Superb looks, good mileage (i usually get around 18-20 km/l ).additional features are unbeatable with the sound system, handle, large space for legroom.the back storage space is awesome and you will fell it like your storage room.You can even take your seat back and sleep ..with lot of space at the back. Some features like light focusing directly on gear, speedometer etc..etc are just superb.it just give you the best facilities.
With all these it has quite decent mileage and that’s a big advantage.
Disadvantages
High maintenance (like all of the diesel cars ).though it gives good mileage its spare parts are costly. Very small ground clearance..i not recommend you this car if you are going to use it constantly in town.just a mere 160 mm clearance. Every time i go in village my vehicle gets tampered from down as it gets badly hit from down..
Comparison with others:-
Linea will be often compared to other cars like ford fiesta, Honda city, sx4 etc.of all these i seriously think that only Honda city can be compared to fiat linea. Of course nobody can beat linea in looks, you will also have to look for the price.the price tag of fiat linea (emotion) is more than other cars in its category. Honda city’s design is good but looks ordinary , same with sx4 but linea has a very attractive upper shape. Linea doesn’t look ordinary but some thing special.
Verdict :- this is a car , you would buy and wont regret unless you are a village user which has bad roads.additional features are excellent and is value for money.its shape gives it excellent pick up and speed..though the maintenance cost is high it will give you good mileage.but you really have to shell out extra money as it has a price tag bit greater than others, but my recommendation is to go with it and you wont complain..
