Over all a very nice car.
let it be the 1.2 or 1.6
want a good mileage keep on driving in the fifth gear as often as possible, coz thats what it id designed for.
but that doesnt mean driving the car in the fiofth gear at speeds below 50.
dont ever expect average if ur gonna keep the engine runnin for a/c when ur stand still.(hahahaaaaaaa)
well, my pals dad smashed a palio 1.2 elx at 120kmph in a tractor on the palwal(haryana) highway. got out of the car and gave a call to his son(my pal) to pick him and call an ambulance for the stupid chap who was sitting right beside him without the damn seat belt on.
about mileage my pal owns a 1.6 and has a mileage of 10-11 kmpl, once he was claiming 4-6 but the car had to be tuned and he got bac to 10-11kmpl with A/C.
the 1.2 claims are like 12-14kmpl.
again use the fifth gear when can
Trouble for people who are below 57 coz the a pillar is an obstruction to front view when turning, but adjust the seats a little bit and ur ready to swing.
this car needs a seat height adjustment, but we have to pay the price and I am ready but there is no option, blame the indian mentality.
well go on nice car, be ready to face the brunt with dealers but one can always find solutions to it.
dealers are main reasons for fiats sick reputation not the company.
Nice car if you know what ur buying and care a damn bout what people think bout ur car , if they go on saying get them on the road and step on the gas pedal or smash their car with urz (Make sure U have the Insuarnce).
Drive Safely!!!
cheers guyz!!
