    DRIVING:

    I bought Fiat Linea Emotion 1.3 MJD exactly a month back and last night, i completed 1,000 kms on it. My experience with this car can be described by only one word "Overwhelming". Good looks, Superior comfort, excellent fuel economy and cheapest in its segment, would be a rare combination. Fiat Linea MJD has it all. I would like to post a few lines about mt experience with the Lines MJD: Interiors: I have an Emotion, so the interiors are much better than teh active and dynamic, because it has a much smarter centre console. Setas are fairly comfirtable. Leg space is ample. I am 6'2" tall and when I am driving, a fairly large individual could easily fit behind me. begige and black interior are good. The orange back light - I am not sure.. It was not as per my taste, i would have much preferred w white or blue. Rear sun shield is a good addition. Exteriors: Impeccable. I can't find a better looking sedan in this segment. The only one which probably comes close is an SX4, but, it doesn't have diesel. I own a fox trote azure colour, which is not very common, so, it is quite common to see heads turn when i zip by. Drive quality: She feels like a cockpit. I dont think i need to say anything else. I would like to question the guys who feel teh Linea MJD is under powered, "are you teh sorts, who shift to the 4th gear as soon as the car touches 20 km/hr?" Since the time a bought her, i have been second to none in getting out of a signal. Even in teh 5th gear, when i hit teh padel, i can feel the sudden jerk. The trick here is keep teh RPM as close to 1,800 as possible. Suspension is also best in class. Only a couple of things which i was not very happy about: 1. Front ground clearence is low. When i tried to park the car in reverse on an elevated parking, i touched the base on to teh ground. 2. Quality of metal used to make teh body: I was expecting better quality metal going by what was being used in the Palios earlier. It feels very delicate and could be dented very easily.
