Hi guys i bought a multijet a month back.I was a bit disappointed that a top end model with abs,airbags,rear spoiler and alloys was not available and the same old interiors disappoints,the new interiors available in the brazilian model was kept away to cut costs(REALLY DISAPPOINTING,FIAT FANS IN INDIA WOULD PAY FOR IT).About the car ,really no words to explain,i simply love to ride it on highways.I've done 4 long trips in this car,chennai to bangalore two times & chennai to trichy two times,obvious din't take her more than 120kmph and decided not to strain this new bird.But i feel the car is relaxed & vibration free at 100-110kmph,the other reason could be its a new engine,will have to wait and see.Mileage was 18kmpl,i was trying to cruise at 80-90kmph so that i can get the best fuel efficiency,but that was impossible as it easily touches 120kmph & i did not like slowing down.The handling and ride quality was excellent,but not new to me,i also have a palio 2001 1.2ELps.
AS A PALIO FAN I WOULD SAY THIS SHOCKING FACT ABOUT THE NEW STILE MODELS:
When compared to the old palio this multijet has lost. 1.)agressive looks.(but a feminine look which would impress indian buyers)
2.)bulid quality, yes the sheet metal used on the body looks more thiner and not put together as well(the body lines are not shut properly as the old palio but like an indica), the trade mark thud when you close the door is missing.(SO WILL THIS MODEL PRODUCED IN INDIA MEET SAFETY STANDARDS AS THE INTERNATIONAL MODEL).
3.)the interior quality is not good(old palios though outdated had excellent quality interiors) and fabrics used in multijet is very poor.
SO THE PALIO HAS GOT A GEM OF AN ENGINE,BUT LOST ITS QUALITY.SO BETTER GO FOR FOR SWIFT(which will let you rest in peace with excellent service back up and resale value),IF SPACE IS NOT A CONCERN OR WAIT FOR THE NEW AVEO DIESEL(WHICH WILL ALSO GET THE SAME ENGINE AND LOOKS OF THE AVEO SEDAN) OR i20.DON'T WASTE UR HARD EARNED MONEY IN TATA PALIO(its not a fiat)!!!!!!!!!!!
