was it a comparison! then you tend to compare head with a tail. linea is essentially a diesel car, with a petrol variant. compare the economy figure with sx4, and feel blessed, even with honda is comforting enough. honda is awful in quality of materials used, sx4 lacks what we call built quality. what linea lacks is noise reduction, rear space and a lighter chasis.otherwise, its no problemo!
Dear Bhagat, Dont mistake the engine sound for crudity and being unrefined. Europeans love to hear the roars of the engines when they rev them up; but that is not a sign of not being refined. FIats engines are some of the best in the world which are being used even in Maruti Swifts. 2. The same thing goes again with suspension; hard suspensions are characteristic of European cars and they in fact give much better comfort if you hit a pothole; comfort in the sense that you do not even know
naveen u r correct, i'm acceping u...
Dear Naveen, I greatly appreciate your feedback. Please do not take my comments offensive. 1. Europeans might love the Grunt and rough ride but don’t you think we have enough noisy vehicles on Indian road. I like the vehicle which is smooth on acceleration and responds with out noise. I guess smoothness and low noise is the mantra of Japanese Vehicles and big European brands which are very successful.
2. I believe suspension should be well balanced between hard and softness. I agree that your handling will be good at high speeds and big potholes but it would be annoying to drive on city roads. We do not drive our cars on expressways in Europe nor would we use it on the country side. I am sure you agree with the fact that majority of us drive on city roads every day than driving on highways. I would prefer a car which can drive smooth on out city roads
UNCLE JI DO YOU KNOW ANY THING ABOUT CARS OR YOU JUST WROTE ONE REVIEW
m from pune...ive almost finalised buying a hyundai accent executive(petrol),but just coz my father told me to look up linea,im just researching...i loved accent coz of its power and comfort etc.what do u think i shud go for linea petrol OR hyundai accent which is much cheaper and value for money??i wont be using it too much...jst 30kms per day
The comments are bit skewed Suspension is set hard but the amazing ride and handling that you get in this car you do not even get in the Civic or Altis which are expensive FE - check whether it shows L/100KMs or Km/L. This you can change in the MyCar settings. typically yo get 13+ in city and 16+ on highways
harsh ride? bhagat, it seems you must have driven a really crappy car with broken suspensions or something or maybe not Linea at all, in terms of ride it is best in its class and above.
