Hello Readers,

I got my hands on the Fiat Palio Stile 1.1 SLE today, and it was a dream come true for me. It is my first car, and I must say, I am very proud to own this car.
Here is my feedback on some of the points, which might be important to potential buyers:

Dealer Response

Dealer : R D Motors, Kolkata
a) Dealer was co-operative, and showed enthusiasm in describing the features of the Fiat car. In fact, R D Motors have sales executives, dedicated for Fiat Cars.
b) Got the delivery of the car on the promised date and time, with all the papers.
c) After the delivery, I received a call from the Tata-Fiat Factory in Pune about the dealer service. Fiat seems to be monitoring the service given by Tata dealers.

Car

a) Handling of the car is excellent. It is very responsive at all the speeds, both high and low.
b) Car is very comfortable, and it rides over bumps and holes with ease.
c) All the controls are easily reachable from the driving position.

Safety features like Reverse Gear Lock, intelligent Locking feature are quite useful.

I will post another review on the car handling and the fuel efficiency after riding for 500 Kms/1st Service.

Verdict :
Excellent car to buy. Great front and rear leg space.
Interior Finish is quite good
Exterior is quite refined
Excellent Build Quality (The thud u hear on closing the doors is very reassuring :) )
Good Pickup (Not for the drag racers, but great within city limits)

I had test driven and researched the following cars before zeroing on Palio :
Indica Xeta
Indica Vista
Wagon R
Chevrolet Spark
i10
Santro Xing

I would not mention any shortcomings in any other car, as a lot of things depend on an individuals budget and perception.

Total On Road Price : 4 Lakhs (after cash discount of Rs 40000)

Accesories fitted:
1. Floor Mats (Free)
2. Bumper Protectors
3. Music System (Kenwood USB compliant, 4 speakers)
4. Seat Cover (Leather look)
5. Mud Flaps (Free)
6. Steering Cover
