      Exterior Nice look!

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good seats and the car is silent. Lots of space. Found two plastic elements of the dashboard which was poorly constructed but can be acceptable since the price of the car is competitive.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Diesel engine is one of the best features of the car, no oil consumption and diesel consumption is very low.

      Ride Quality & Handling Fine driving experience especially for long journeys. Side mirrors are very good but sometimes it is tricky to estimate the car size -> for instance in the case of parking.

      Final Words Good value for money, it looks like Fiat has made very good efforts with this car. I would give my recommodation for those people who need space, drives a lot and do not want to pay extra for the brand. As a car owner the selection criterias of the car was easy maintenance and robust engine. According to Autobild magazine, similar Fiat's diesel engine was opened after 100 000km driving and got excellent statements from the engineurs which supports the expectations of quality.

      Areas of improvement Limited product ranges available. 90hp diesel engine is surprising strong, but it would be nice if there is more options available.

      driving, cabin & luggage space, price, fuel consumption, maintenancesome plastic elements inside the car were poorly manufactured

      I did lots of research before I bought the car and some of the reviews also helped me a lot. If ur lookin at FIAT linea u must be considering 2 other cars viz Honda City & VW Vento. What excluded Vento & Honda city was the interiors and features available at the same price. plus u get a diesel variant not available in honda.(petrol prices have reached the roof!!!).

      The car I have is FIAT Linea Emotion Diesel- Driven about 4500 kms in 3months

       

      Exterior The day I took the test drive and brought the car in my building a lot of heads turned, I even got lots of ppl asking me about the car. Even today after 3-4 months of usage it still makes heads turn. The design is great looks like a really long car, the headlights make life easier when on national highways.

       

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I bought the emotion variant and the features are amazing and detailing of the interiors is really good. The digital tachometer has lots of added functions for eg.shows names of song playing on radio as well as fm station, etc. The rear AC vents are god given for indian summers and the auto climate feature is good enuf. The car is really spacious I m 6 feet tall and as taller man can sit comfortably behind me on back seat. Three healthy adults can also fit comfortably. I love to drive but it is a car in which u want to sit on the back seat and reaaly enjoy the journeyit makes u feel special and royal(but i still love to drive it myself).

       

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Well it is UNDERPOWERED as they say but not a snail at all it beats most cars out at start, it is faster when torque sets in.Riding on long journey isnt tiresome d/t arm rest and also doesnt require freq gear changes at high speeds.The engine is amazingly quiet for a diesel engine (if u pick petrol variant u wont even know its on). The fuel economy is great got almost 18-20km/ltr when on national highway (mum-shirdi;mum-pune) in the city close to 13.5 -14 km/ltr after 1st 3000kms.The gear shift is great really smooth.

       

       

      Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality and handling is excellent if i could give it 10/5 it wouldnt be an overstatement.

       

      Final Words EXCELLENT car, total value for money.

       

      Areas of improvement I think after sales service is a major dissapointment atleast they shud have specialist mech, for FIAT at TATA service centre's and would love a more powered diesel variant.

       

      Excellent design, great interiors, good fuel economy.....Looks much costlier than its priceUnderpowered, low baseline ( hits speed breakers wen relatively full), bad after sales service

      Exterior Good looking car, definitely grabs a lot of attention. The car is bulit like a Tank.

       

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The Interiors are very spacious. The MID is very useful. But I would have loved a front Armrest for the Dynamic Version as well. Apart from that, you cant really complain about the Interiors, the plastic quality has also improved a lot from the previous batches. All and all value for money car when it comes to Interiors. Very comfortable to ride and the hard suspension setup is very useful for the Indian roads, you can hardly feel the bumps in high or low speeds.

       

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine lacks power in the 1st and 2nd gear, but when you shift into the 3rd gear that when the Linea is fun to drive. So far I have been getting a decent FE considering that I travel with 100% AC in about 70% of my ride is in the Mumbai Traffice. FE with 100% AC on = 15 in City. And around 18-19 on Highway. The gearbox is slick and I actually find it way better than my previous cars (Santro and Honda).

       

      Ride Quality & Handling This is by far the best car in its segment when it comed to Handling. The ways it handles in Mumbai Traffic as well as on Highways is just too good. The ride quality as I have mentioned before as well is very good for this segment, you hardly feel the bumps on the road and it is a pleasure to ride in. Thumbs up for this.

       

      Final Words Overall I am very impressed with FIAT Linea, its a value for money car. Also I find this the best SEDAN in this segment as of now for DIESEL.

       

      Areas of improvement Plastic quality thought better than the previous batches, still need a little improving. This car definitely needs a more bigger engine.

       

      Good fuel economy, excellent stying and great ride quality.Lacks power
