Hi..like most of Palio owners and prospective buyers, I had faced the same dilemma of whether to go in for a FIAT product or not. I was torn between following my heart or my head. Who ever I spoke (even the finance companies) tried to convince me NOT to go in for Fiat. And then I spoke to people who actually owned a Palio. And not ONE, I repeat not ONE owner had anything bad to say about it.
And today I am a proud owner of a 1.2 PALIO NV ELPS and it ius truly the KING OF THE ROAD. other hatchbacks (including swift and getz) are dismally poor performers in front of the PALIO.
Ride and handling are exceptionally brialliant, sturdiest possible ride, very spacious, no noise inside the car, and the MILEAGE? it gives a cool 14kmpl in city (without ac) and as high as 18 on the highways...aint that brilliant?
What more does one want. no problem with the servicing in delhi, so far.
All in all, a FANTABULOUS buy
