      Exterior

       Stunning look and very strong build quality, premium look, the 16’’ alloy wheels are an add on advantage and of course the 185 ground clearance. You can take this beauty to any good or worst roads without any strain.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

      Nicely designed interiors lot of leg space and accommodate 5 adults easily even for a long drives (but, lil congested rear seats for tall people). Lot of features enriched in this new 2014 Linea emotion pack version. This is the only vehicle in the segment has 500 litters boot space and that is very essential too. The total length of the vehicle is 4596 (4.6) and the only vehicle in this segment has this huge. You will defiantly feel that you are in a premium car (diesel version is lil heavy).

       Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

      Engine performance is good. However, It lags a bit below 1500 rpm hence for city drive we might feel lil gloomy (once you are used-to it there will be no issues). But for highway drive definitely this is the king and there is no doubt about that. For this weight and size at least 1.6 liter diesel engine is a really must one. So this might be a negative. But can be manageable. But, if, FIAT should have done this, none of the same segment cars will come near to this Italian beauty.

      Fuel efficiency is also pretty good I am getting 16 overall with 90% ac on. I crossed 9000kms so far.

      Gear box is really smooth compare to other diesel vehicles.

      When it comes to safety and security, this has ABS, EBD, adjustable steering, auto rain sensing wipers, auto head lamps, follow me head lights, Dual Airbags, Early crash sensors, fire prevention system, very good breaking system, etc… This beauty has inbuilt engine immobilizer with rolling code.

      Ride Quality & Handling

       New 2014 Linea is very robust, smooth and handling is very nice. Cruise control is another advantage and it really very helpful for long journeys.

      Final Words

      This is a very good vehicle for family especially those who prefer long highway journey also good for city drives.

      I like my 1.3 mulitijet diesel emotion 2014 Linea very much and it is worth buying. Your hard earned money you spent is really worth.

      Few observations

      1.     Engine CC should be upgraded to 1.6

      2.     Frond arm rest is not so convenient so fiat should rethink.

      3.     Less utility space inside the cabin

       

       4.     Road visibility is bit stringent

      Good ground clearance, fair fuel economy and both interior and exterior are very excellentLags in 1&2nd gear (little low pickup in first few seconds)

      Exterior The New Linea Looks good especially after the rear has been changed with the new number plate being push to the Boot Lid.The chrome and liberally used chrome does add a good feel to the car. Still feel the handles should be full chrome. 

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Looks great Inside with the new Soft Touch Dash and Nicely Finished Dash Board.Music System Design looks but yes gives a mix of classic and modern looks.The back seat is very comfortable and this car is among the forty cars I drove before buying which has both driver's and rear seat passengers equal comfort.

      As I said you do get a premium Feel.Look at the roof when you get inside and from the fabric used you will be able to judge difference between this car and the other cars in terms of premium feel.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Yes it does have a Turbo Lag at lower Gears and feels sluggish in initial pick up.but post that its a fun to drive vehicle. Have minimal noise inside the cabin and does give a very smooth ride.The fuel economy clocked on Mumbai-Pune Expressway was 21km/l and City average is 14km/l at an average speed of 22km. The gera is rubbery but is smooth.

      Ride Quality & Handling The best drive for Fiat is on the open roads and it is a very comfortable car to drive. I havent had the luxury of sitting at the back but on the feedback has been good for pillion riders.A small point to add is that Linea is an easier car to get in and get out of it and it is an important features especially for the elders.  

      Final Words I would say if people are out there to decide to buy a goof product and dont go out to buy just the brands,Fiat will offer them a surprise as was evident with my collegues who bought other brands in this segment.

      Areas of improvement Definately require more service centres.Still need to expereince their service levels.

      Exterior

       What a fantastic flowing design, a bit feminine, slow and elegant design, not a wide body hence can squeeze in traffic easily between 2 vehicles 

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

       long car, enough leg space for a 6.1 ft guy like me, quality of plastic is definitely good, contrast is good, no Aux in old models is bad, dashboard could be a bit more brighter and wider

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

       for a heavy car of 1200 kgs 1.3 l engine is a bit low, but makes it up with 90 NM, fuel econom- i have got 18-19 km/l on pune expressway and in city 14 km/l, gear is smooth, joy stick can be re done

      Ride Quality & Handling

       diesel engine needs to be driven on 1st gear to get it going, handling is smooth especially on traffic conditions, high turning radius is a set back- always need to reverse to get into mall parking which is winding and also on narrow intersections.

      Final Words

       A car which can last comfortably for 1.5 lakh kms, classy, evergreen design, build quality and weight, at 50k kms and 3.5 yrs no part replaced.

      Areas of improvement  

       Turning Radius is not good now, a bit more power for initial torque, low ground clearance (mine is 2012 model), Service centers must improve their customer interaction...! Balaji service sucks! Work is okay but other things are bad.
