Full Review

This sedan has so many features that u ll go gaga............trust me u wont find any such feat in any other car of the same segment.
I hv taken the test drive of linea and it was awesome, from braking to pik up,comfortable and smooth driving experience.
Beautiful italian design,beige dual tone interiors,rear foldable seats long n spacious enough for people to sleep with there legs stretched.
Climate control,air bags,blaupunkt music system that has crystal clear sound ipod connect n 4 day speakers.
BLUE AND ME-unique to this car designed with the help of microsoft it offers its users to interact with the car itself.Recognises voice commands,you can dial n recieve cals,it can read ur msgs to u......handy feat for a car of this budget.
Rear AC vent rear armrest with sunglasses and cup holder.
Diesel car has 1248 cc and petrol has 1368 cc delivering 86 and 90 ps at 4000 and 6000 rpm resp
Has advanced multijet engine that has got international engine of the year award.
Great mileage of 18 to 20 in both city and highway.
For people who think that driver seat low and uncomfortable during driving, my ans would be that it has hydraulic controlled seat adjusters and it is for safety purpose as u cn see in honda civic.
It is in collabration with TATA motors so don't worry about after sales service and spare parts.
Linea has cheapest spare parts in comparison to SX4,Verna,Fiesta n other competitor cars.So its cheaper on the pocket.
Overall complete value for money , neatly designed , economicaly powered car.

I own a fiat linea... sure the mileage is great - 18 in city w/t a/c and 23 - 25 on the highway,really cool.

Linea/Punto are very poor in performance. Refer this review on the HINDU newspaper: http://www.hindu.com/mp/2009/08/05/stories/2009080550240500.htm Linea/Punto are very poor in performance. Refer this review on the HINDU newspaper: http://www.hindu.com/mp/2009/08/05/stories/2009080550240500.htm
