Fiat Linea tested by CarWale

Never driven Palio till date. Linea is the 1st Fiat I drove.  I've not stated that Linea is the "most Powerful" and "Fastest' Car.  It is a good car - with decent performance.

I have driven all sorts of cars in many countries and I just happen to know how good or bad they can be...  Thats also another reason why i meantioned what cars I have.

Moderator: Please restore the decorum of this forum from these abusive and unparliamentary posts by the particular person by taking suitable and prompt action.

It seems there is battle against Linea.

Just went thru the thread, I did not find much logic in the argument about the car with any logistic support.

BTW I Own Palio 1.2 &  love the car & I have driven Linea & its an Amazing car whcih I plan to buy soon.

This discussion is going way of the track –

Request for MOD to intervene.

Please note:

It's so surprising... people have the sense to run office/department, handle colleagues/subordinates, run a family, teach various things to their children & shape their career, buy cars, wear good clothes, move around in society....  BUT no common sense as to how one should be interacting in public forums.  It's a shame.

Posts/discussions have been suitably edited/deleted to maintain decorum of the forums. Use of abusive language against the cars or members will not be tolerated.  Any such further attempt will be viewed seriously & the member/s concerned will be banned from the forums forever - please note.

Further discussion, if any, may please be continued.  The platform of disagreement, if any, should be academic & not personal. Be careful.

I could very easily take it above 140 very often and the maximum I have touched was 185 for a brief duration.

There are sevral peope in this forum who have very comfortbaly taken it above 130 and the amount of confidence that it gives at high speeds is tremendous.

I have never found the car struggling to go above 120 - actually I have often found to my surprise that I have crossed 130 through overspeed beep that I set in MyCar function - without even realising how quickly it accelerates.

The statement below is not from me but from Automags like WhatCar & OverDrive.

The least speedo error was observed in Linea among all the cars - City, Fiesta, SX4, Verna .....

Not only in speed but also in mileage and KM error - Linea was the one with least error.

You have all the rights to post "your" feel and opinion. But the real feel and performance can be seen by anyone who wants to.

I'd like to point out that the VW-Audi group only built the DSG gearbox for the Veyron, but it made its way down to the Octavia... Or that they made the transverse VR6 engine only for the Passat R36, but it also is under the Superb's hood.

Or that the Seat Ibiza, Skoda Fabia and VW Polo run the same kinds of engines with amazingly similar chassis design.

good car to drive

Hi Pankaj,

Good to see cleaning up done.

If you see I had already stated the objective of that debate - because the forum takes pride in QUALITATIVE details shared about automobiles & not heresay without any factual representation. Thats the reason that could not resist reverting to those every post.

However, Still those 2 thingies which prompted the debate are still very much there:

1. Take this car above 120kmph and you will  see that it absolutely refuses to respond and literally STRUGGLES  to go any faster
2. Speedo Error of 50 / 70 kmph

If the forum believes in both the above, let those posts (which did not have any factual data) remain but then all subsequent posts on debating these 2 points should also be restored by the same token. Else delete everything which the forum does not believe in & is without any facts & figures
