You are right. The answer is not that simple. If It was, then I would also had bought ANHC. By the way , FL petrol is 1 lacs cheaper than ANHC while it has 1.25 Lacs worth of features more than ANHC. By the way, I am getting an average of 14-15Kmpl. Thanks & Regards Rajnish Sharma

Yes Vinayak, I own a Linea Petrol. It has been a great experience driving it. Almost no problem faced and am very much satisfied with the Dealership at Faridabad , M/s Triump Auto.

Regarding you other queries, the following inputs might be of some use to you:

Blue and ME feature - Even before buying the car, I had downloaded a video which said that such software have a problem recognising Indian Accent of English. Since I had worked on another such software named "Dragon", I knew this in advance.

I use Blue and ME to make phone calls very easily while driving. Since my phone book is loaded into the system, I can easily access it and make calls to people without any problem.The 2 keys on the right side of the steering serve the purpose. Secondly call response can be automated by setting up your phone with the Blue and Me. Its very easy. Message reader is a beauty. I get to hear important SMS while driving without any problem. I have not tried Music features yet of Blue and ME since I prefer only FMs while driving.

DOOR LOCKS ; Working fine, no problems faced yet.

Power Windows : No major problems faced, it sometimes appeared to be sticky whenever pressed in hurry. Had mentioned this to my service support and they had put it right suiting my needs.

I strongly feel that Linea Diesel is the best thing to buy at this price. But since I am more comfortable with Petrol and don't drive much, It is a Value for money for me at 7.4 Lacs.

Anyways these are my personal views and U need to take call for yourself as the decision is quite big.

Thanks & Regards

Rajnish Sharma

Hi Vinayak, I am from Hyderabad. I am using a Linea Multijet MJD Emotion and covered around 7400 kms till now from 29th January. As Mr. Rajnish mentioned, I too haven,t faced much of a problem till now. 5000 km service was smooth. Autofin people were good, as for as service is concerned. I don,t know about Blue and Me, since I haven,t opted for emotion Pack. Mileage, if going by the display record of the car is around 15.8 km overall. One thing I felt personally while driving is, this car has excellent charector on Handling for Highway driving. Why I m writing is, if any manufacturing problems are there in the car, it could have surfaced by now. Think well, Analyse well and decide. All the best. Suresh
