    DRIVING:
    First I owe Fiat Adventure sports 1.6 and by Choice. 1. If you are professional or businessman and put SAFETY of family first then think of FIAT/Skoda 2.If you have to drive on highways then think of FIAT/Skoda Now my experience with this vehicle. I earlier owned a Wagon R as well and this time I was back to FIAT again. - Adventure is very comfortable to drive.you feel very safe on highways or on any fast moving roads.The pirelli tubeless tyres are wonderful and with 1.2 tons steel ( car weighs 1.2tons) they simply move licking the road.Great drive!! -the ground clearance is 190mm and this gives wonderful mobility.On speedbreakers,potholes,back- breakers !!the heavy suspension +pireli tyres makes you feel very comfortable.The car is able to manage speedbreakers and U turns with great ease.Excellent on this aspect. -The space is huge for 5-6 luggage and a family can plan to take a lot of stuff on vacation. - At night with all the lights on,the steering area looks like a cockpit of aircraft.Overall very good in this aspect.( so many features on lights,beams that difficult to write). - The power and torque is unmatched (1.6 ).In Delhi when the traffic is very slow I can still manage to drive on 3 gear while on Wagon R had to use 1-2.The use of Clutch is very less and one doesnot need to use it except changing the gear as the car can easily drive at lowest level on 1/2/3 gear!!! amaging.No knocking sound !! -Apart from the looks the car is best value for money you pay. Fiat is providing fully loaded car (1.6!!) at such price( 6 lakhs on road). Just because FIAT was not doing well it was price like that.Now with TATA taking over sales and services the things are improving fast.We expect a total turnaround.. -The spare parts are very cheap and available at all Tata showrooms.Service has improved dramatically now. -NOW the most difficult topic: Fuel efficiency: a)A lot depends on how you drive and usage of clutch and gear change etc.In cities the gap between the best mileage cars( Maruti) and FIAT gets reduced thanks to the less clutch usage in FIAT. b)With Full A/C one can expect 10 -11 Km/lt on using 3-4-5 gears.On high way it around 12-13-14 But on highways the difference will increase between Marutis,Honda city and Adventure... But then on high ways SAFETY is more important!! c)On dead traffic like Bangalore/Mumbai or Moolchand flyover in Delhi or Gurgaon stretch one can expect 8.5-9.0. If you live in DELHI and want to combine SAFETY + superb MILEAGE then Put an CNG kit.....No car can suit better than adventure (with such heavy suspension and huge boot space) for CNG.. within one month( I was told by dealer)the approval for CNG kit will come and TATA dealer will start provinding CNG option with warranty!! overall great looks,tough vehicle,very Safe,good comfort and style.....fairly okay mileage( compare to its class)... Regards Sunil SharmaTough and best suited for indian roads,very safe,amazing drive,Style and comfort for the priceinteriors though are good could be made better
