Very good

It's wonder car getup superb my dream car and really very good car n mind-blowing car n it s average price is comfortable for all users wich to buy a car easily afford on EMI it is very good

Similar to Vento, but still a Skoda

The car is simply as awesome as its VW sibling. Priced at least 4-5% lesser, it comes as an extremely brilliant option in the segment, and in an era, wherein the Honda City has become an old daddy, this car is simply awesome for the younger generation. The front looks typically Skoda; the nose, the bonnet, everything. The rich look that Skoda has been giving for decades now is pretty awesome. Extremely brilliant leg room. Beige interiors. Almost similar to Vento. And yes, if you are a 4-spokes steering wheel fan, it has that too (Hardly any car has 4-spokes nowadays...) Few complaints, though. The engine not as powerful as the City. 70% pick-up as compared to the City(petrol, of course). Gear Box doesn't look all that comfortable. Rest all perfect. Best option though, if you wish to go for Diesel. Compared to the Verna Fluidic, it has a better engine option at a lesser price. Better mileage, ofcourse. And a much better brand name.Comfort, Pricing, Exteriors, Interiors, Leg RoomMileage(Petrol), gear box

Fiat Linea 125S Long Term Review: Final Report

By Sagar Bhanushali31 May 2017

Yes, it’s really cliched, but all good things have got to come to an end. After three months of daily driving and living with it, I’ve had to wave goodbye to our Fiat Linea 125S. Being a heavy, fuel guzzler, there was never any rush to grab the keys among fellow testers but now that it’s left our fleet, it will be missed.

A new face

By Vikrant Singh03 Nov 2011

Skoda in India can do better; much better in fact. After all, its sister company, Volkswagen came to the Indian party much later, but has managed to gain more flavour already. Skoda believes, one car could set all this right and that is the Rapid.

Fiat Linea 125S Long Term Report 2

By Sagar Bhanushali29 Apr 2017

I am happy to report that my love of small turbocharged petrol engines has only been augmented since I took charge of our Fiat Linea 125S long termer. Although I was initially sceptical about its compact engine having to lug the Linea’s heft, I’ve grown to appreciate the motor’s everyday potential.
