The ride quality is quite pliant,though nothing exceptional,especially the low speed ride could have been better.The back seat lacks cushioning,one has to go for a proper seat cover for some comfort,the angle of the backrest of the back seat also could have been more,but over all the feeling of space inside the car is amazing and one feels like bieng in a tank!

over all it's a good car,sensible packaging in an unbeleivable price,if the only the noice was a little lesser?

rating?

 8/10

Bala,

Please create a new thread in "Spares & Accessories" for audio system. It would be better if we discuss it there.

the back seats are placed a ittle higher than the front seats,which i do not like at all,it derives you of a pleasure of a sedan,also the angle of the back seats could have been more,ride quality at the back is not really exceptional

...Resultantly reducing the head room.

4.spacious interiors,especially at the front ceats

5.price,price,price

6.ride,handling

7.attention to details

8.a tech heavy car,so much so that one needs a class to get to know about all the features

dislikes:

1.engine-noise

2.rear ceats at a higher plane than the front ceats,totally uncomfortable

3.space at the rear

4.rear ceats-angle.

5.black dashboard(but its very stylish)

6.plane of the car is as such sloping from the rear to the front,giving it a nose heavy feel

7.fiat's scanty service centres and dependence on TATA for the same

 BUT COME WHAT MAY IAM IN TOTAL LOVE WITH THIS CAR,SO MUCH SO THAT,I MIGHT NOT WASH EVEN MY FACE,BUT I KEEP WASHING AND CLEANING MY LOVELY LENIA ALL THE TIME!

Dont keep washing the car-its not good for the paint finish nor for avoidance of rusting!
