Fiat Palio D [2003-2007] User Reviews

I am having a Palio 1.9D 2004 MODEL. I purchased it last year as second hand at a cost of Rs.2,48,000/- in a view that FIAT VEHICLES ARE GOOD AND MAY NOT CREATE PROBLEMS.BUT IT IS SAD TO SAY THAT IT IS ALWAYS CREATING PROBLEMS WITH F.I.P,OVER HEAT ,OIL LEAKS ETC....I HAVE SPENT RS 40,000/-FOR REPAIRS AFTER PURCHASE BUT THE PERFORMANCE IS NOT GOOD TILL NOW.NOW I FEEL THAT I HAVE MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE BY SELECTING A SECOND HAND FIAT CAR(ONLY 4 YEARS OLD).WHEN EVER 1.9D IS ON THE ROAD NO GOOD COMMENTS WILL BE MADE FROM ITS OWNERS.SO HOW CAN FIAT SELL MORE AND MORE VEHICLES IN INDIA AS THEY MAY STOP PRODUCTION OF ANY MODELS AT ANY TIME AND THE OWNERS WILL FACE DIFFICULTIES.

As I was reading the comments of others, I saw some are disappointed with fiat, my case is , i am still running an 2003 model fiat palio d 1.9 elx 180000 km (Dec 22 2017).

Only probelm I am facing now a days is parts not available and have to wait for 2 to 3 weeks, some things I would like to point.

Heat of this car has never gone ahead of the first point of the meter, in my 10 years riding, 2 or 3 times heat has gone up and i saw that radiator had no water and was a leakage and fixed it.

During this 10 years only 2 times this car left me in road. Which I think is great, confort and great pick up, I love him when overtaking and riding up to the hill.

In city day time running car gives me 12-14 km, where as in night, at 60-70 km speed, gives me 17-18 km.
