Fiat Linea Vs Honda City

It is too early to comment on the resale value of Linea.

I feel resale of Linea (& a few other recent Fiat cars) will not suffer like others have.  The new/recent launches indicate how serious & concerned Fiat is about establishing its market in India.  Servicing will not be an issue with the given tie-up with Tata - quite good.

@ VINAYAK AGRAWAL

The pic of the golden Linea that you had posted is not yours.

That is a pic of 2008 Fiat Linea photographed in Corfu.

Here is the link for the same:

Why are you cheating over here? To prove that you have purchased a Linea, post some other pics of the vehicle too. I want to see them. You started a Linea owners blog even before owning one.

I can prove that the pic is not of your car. You said you bought Emotion Pack variant. But in the pic, there are WHEELCAPS instead of alloys and also there is NO CHROME.

Vinayak, I fear what Nimesh says is true.  For whatsoever reason/s you did so, it's not in a good taste.  Anyway, we don't want to cause further embarrassment to you.  Just be careful in future (here or elsewhere).

Nimesh, can you please share your views on Linea's resale & servicing (Gaurav's concern). Thanks.

Well its true that the pics of linea i had posted is not mine...

But i do own a LINEA.. if u want u can check my posts in autocarindia and other forum.... my queries and comments on those forum wud definitly prove that i own a LINEA...and its a common sense y wud i start a blog overnething if i dont own one... as far as posting the pics on forums is concerned i m not too comfortable in doing so.. thats y i havent posted it...

@ Vinayak

Buddy, sorry. I think I got a bit hyper on it. I know that you are on Autocarindia forums with name Kayaniv.

Well, I own a Linea Petrol Emotion Pack White colour. It is the first white linea in Delhi. It was delivered to me on 9th April. I am extremely happy with the car. Initially the pickup was slow but now it has improved greatly and doesn't feel different from other sedans. Also I am getting 12 kmpl in city and managed 16 kmpl on the highway which is very satisfactory for me.

I will be sending the car for it first service on 29th June. My dealership experience has been top notch.

Regarding spares?? The inner glasses of both the outside rear view mirrors of my Linea were stolen a few days back. I contacted my dealership for its availability and yess, they were available. But since that dealership was very far from my place, so I contacted another dealership and yess, they also had the spares. I was very happy with the availablity of such small spares. But there was a bigger surprise waiting for me. I had to pay only RS. 380 total for the inner glasses. This is also cheaper than Indica's. I am sure there is NOT going to be any problem with spares.

I hope this will help the perspetive buyers.

I own Linea Emotion PK multijet diesal since April and suffering due to very bad ASS of dealer at Jodhpur (Rajasthan).

Blue & Me is not working for more than a month and I am told, They do not have Technician. Even I have sent E-mail to CEO but still no technician is available.

Earliar Car's AC brokedown and my dealer returned car without proper repairing. AC brokedown very next day again.

Fuel Tank of my car leaked after few days of delivery and I had to go to dealer twice as he didnot  had the spare tank.

I reside at Barmer, a border town of Rajasthan, known for recent discovery of oil, 200KM. away from Jodhpur.

I had driven 1600 Km, out of total 3000 km, to get my car repaired.

Other wise Linea is very good to drive, comfort and look is marveleous.

with regards

I think you have got a defective car. Ask for a new car.

Sorry to hear about the bad experience.  They may not give a new car (replacement).  Get all the problems rectified & the parts/spares concerned replaced.  Ensure that it's done conclusively & satisfactorily at FREE of cost under warranty.

@ Nimesh

that ok dude...CHILL....!!!! btw which dealership have u brought ur car from in delhi...?? and its reallly amazing to see ur milage... the over all milage that my displays show from the time i have bought the car is 8.5 and since ive done the tank full ive driven around 200km with an avg of 10.5...
