My Linea TJet

My Car search begun from July 2013 and end up with FIAT Linea TJet Emotion. I tested almost all cars in this segment (Vento, Verna, Scala, Sunny even Ecosport). I liked the Vento TDI a lot and booked instantly after the TD but later I declined it because of lot of negative feedbacks. Again, I started a long research for a good handling and performance car and I stopped on FIAT.

I did the TD for TJet and to be honest I didn’t like the ride and importantly this was post booking of Vento. I don’t know why but I decided to do the TD again on Delhi – Gurgaon Highway. I called the SE guy again to bring the car to my office in Gurgaon. The test drive experience this time was amazing and I was so happy with the car’s handling and ride. But after all, I have already booked the Vento TDI what to do now? I had few sleepless nights and finally I decided to cancel the booking on Vento TDI and booked the TJet on 2ndOct. The SE guy from Thrust FIAT is very nice and dealt so perfect with all my queries and concern. Finally, I got my car delivered on 20th Oct. as of now I have done only 758 km and I am so happy with my selection. After all Carwale forum has helped me a lot in taking this decision.

Exterior This is the best looking car in this segment. The build quality, suspensions are awesome. No doubt it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are good especially the Blue&me. Space and Comfort are fine for me. However, it’s missing the functionality to play songs from mobile.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Superb and just superb. 1368cc engine produces 114 PH and 20.7 Nm torque is amazing. Gearbox is a bit sticky but it’s ok not a big problem. FE would be bad for many but I am happy with the economy. I have already done a three time testing (Tankfull method) and it gave 12.1, 11 and 10. So its 11KMPL in an average.

Ride Quality & Handling This is what FIAT is known for. And i have been experiencing this. I am delighted with the car's handling and ride quality.

Final Words If you love to drive, there is no replacement of Linea TJet in this segment.
