This forum is a great help for the prospective buyers to decide the car for which they should go for. I am an old user of the reviews and feels that it is my duty now to post my input after purchasing new Verna Diesel SX top end on 17th July 2009.
Let me compare all the available diesel options in the Indian market. This is based on test drives and study of the technical specs along with practical experience. 1. Fiat Linea emotion pack diesel - This was the car which I wanted to buy. The test drive was good, engine power is good from family prospective but definitely it is bit underpowered. The features and outside looks are excellent as you all know. But some points to consider before going for it-
a) A bit underpowered but same car is running successfully in other countries like Turkey, Poland, Germany etc. but fiat has launched 1.6 Lt Multi jet diesel(MJD) engine in turkey to make it more powerful and I hope in India too Fiat will do the same but it will come with a price as more than 1.5 lt diesel engine invites additional Rs. 15, 000/; excise duty and may be 60 to 70 thousand more money for this engine so the people who want to wait for 1.6 MJD should mentally prepare themselves to pay at least .
