I bought my fiat linea on 24/12/2012.awesome car.its just the tag which is insulting this car. I have bronzo scuro absolute edition emotion multijet. dis car have 185mm of ground clearence which is best in its class. I have driven both 2011 and 2012 versions.and 2012 version is more responsive then its older one by the increase in power of 7 HP . fiat linea is underpowered car only in 1st gear.but crossing 2000rpm in 2nd gear it justs shoots and lunges forward
I am in ambala and service here is good. built of this car is nice and my car is giving kmpl of 17.8 on highway and 13.0 in city.with A/C which is little bit disappointing. my car makes little bit of body noise on bad roads.its top speed which was taken by me was 170 kph 5th gear at 3900 rpm.it might be touches 185+ on a smooth highway.guys engine is very smooth. there is no doubt that fiat engines are excellent.BCOZ it supplies its engines to many companies like MS etc. I think that you shld go for diesel one not for petrol one THANK YOU Okay
I am now editing this review. I am not deleting the previous ones because I wanted you to read that also.
So its now 06 nov 2015
I am nearly about to complete 3 years with my car. and it has only done 30k kms.
So my car has just gone better after services
No major problem I am facing yet. but just wanna share some incidents
1) I was travelling towards jammu. I was doing nearly 130kph to 140koh on jalandhar pathankot highway and suddenly I started feeling some vibrations my car was bubbling/voveling like hell I just stoped the car and check but found nothing. then I thought jt may be the defect in wheel balancing then I drove it slowly to jammu and on the same day I took it to jammu.
Thanks to national fiat jammu that they helped me. alot
They checked the whole steering, shockers and wheels but they found nothing but at the end we got to know that front left tyre had been bulged and we took it they took it to goodyear company and got front two tyre changed under warranty earlier it was GT3 now it is duraplus.
So I just wanna warn you that you should take care of your tyre if you love to cruise your car at high speeds.
2) I had a drag race with sx4 and swift dzire and a vw. Vento. in jammu only and in first 0 to 40 kph I was lagging behind but guy its a mjd and when turbo really kicked in 3rd gear I beated all 3. I was just very little ahead of vento. it was a great experience. to know to the real feel of the linea
I wish abarth could also launch the linea with abarth graphics and a 150plus bhp tjet engine. fiat is not doing well in india but I believe that one day fiat will rule the automobile market globally.
Thanks
