I have purchased a fiat petra 1, 6elxps 2006 model on the auspicious GUDI PADWA day in march.I have bought this fantastic car after months of researching over the net on the technical specs of many cars and their prices.I have also made some umpteen test drives.The models includedFORD IKON, MARUTI BALENO, CHEVEROLET OPTRA, TATA INDIGO AND HYUNDAI ACCENT.But the FIAT PETRA was the most impressive in ride quality and power. I was really amazed as to why this car was not given a good advertisement so that more people may come to know of it.
My dealers were ANUROOP AUTO in goregaon and so far their response and service has been nothing but excellent!!
I travel 100kms perday on the mumbai-pune highway to my office everyday and u should see the car to believe it. It just vrooms past the other cars so easily.
Unfortunately not many in india check the build quality when they buy cars and opt for fancy names.Fiat petra has a solid feel to it in the insides and outside.
I couldnt believe that a 1.6 engine could come for below 6 lakhs!! whereas the ford people and GM are selling their 1.4 engines at more than 7.5 lakhs onroad!!
FE now before my first service and after I have driven for one month is 13 on the highway.Iam hoping to bring it to around 14 after the first service.But 14 is a good average for a solid and heavy car with a monster of an engine!!
FIAT PETRA is my panther on the road....
CHECK IT OUT!!
My final corporate price was 5.80 on road mumbai.
