I went for FIAT , because i knew i wanted a car for atleast 8 years. This is my 5th year & BOY......O BOY......., its a great car. I have not spent single rupee excpet reguler servicing & oil changing. While buying the car I compered with many other car in simmiler price range & I found Palio value for money. Infact I found it cheaper then ZEN,SANTRO & WEGON R. It had all the featurs & comfert.
I get 16 Km p/ltr on Highway & 8.5 Km in City. I am happy with it....This is with the AC on, as have never driven without an AC.
while driving I have simmiler feeling of BIG car , & way ahead of the cars mentioned above. Other cars feels PLASTIC while this one is a great fun to drive. I never felt tired on long drive. The only thing I dont like is the turning redious is too low & in Palio NV , Fiat never botherd to adjust the height of Handrest & Side mirror to the raised seat. This was very stupid of a company like FIAT. This shows that ,why such a great car is not been able to get its due. It seems they always had LAZY people working on IN INDIA. WHo could not justify the great work.
But I certainlty do not mind this any more & enjoy every bit of my car. Just hope that NOW FIAT with there new partner TATA appoint some sensible people at the TOP & at different level to take care of these basic problems.
I have not tried New STILE , but hope they have rectified all these small problems. If they have not then its a serious issue....
I am a FIAT guy & awaiting all the new cars from their stable & lookforward to buy LINEA......
Hope many will agree with me here. Do write back your views to my e mail satishmaster001@gmail.com
