I own a linea since 14 months done with 35000 kms, , the ground clearance needs to be increased, the car kisses the road, every now and then, even on national highways if uneven,
Mileage, excellent, max 27.5, diesel, average 22 on highways and 17 on rough ways, city-14-15, my car has done 35000 kms, max speed I went on was 170km s/hr, as such it can be recommended one, Now am just waiting for the another wonder car to come from the fiats, that’s the new version of linea, expected to have a 1.6 or 1.9 ltr diesel engine, , with some extra power, ,
Linea has proved its worth against the Honda and the ford cars of the range, now skoda will be on test if the 1.9 ltr diesel comes on the road, new features to be in, hillock, and light sensors, water sensor. Thats value for money.
compared to linea vento even is a feather weight car, not real tough as such as is quoted (German engineering).
