Full Review

I drove a fiat palio SDX the top end version as a test drive offered by prerana motors. First ,about the behaviour of the staff there,i should say, was co-operative and good. Hope they maintain it after selling the car.

Now for the review- In the looks compartment it is a killer. Palio allways was.The cabin space is spacious and comfortable. The inner fascia are not the best but OK.Front seats are excellent and back seats are adequate.T he Knee room is adequate with front seat pushed back. Three adults can squeeze in ok. The build quality of the car is top class with solidness all around.No hatch has this qulaity( I test drove all the cars).

The car starts with a refined engine sound. The noise is very soft for a diesel and there is no body vibration expected in a diesel. Very refined engine. Put it into first gear and u will feel the engine eager to jump forward. I have found the engine power to be amazing and excellent in low as well as top speeds. one can put it into second gear and chug along in the bangalore traffic(!)withot effort. With 4 adults sitting I barely needed to change the gears. Its torque range is amazing. push the car and it will reach the 100 mark in no time. There is no roll when pushed around the corners. The best part of the car is the way it goes over the bumps. I have not felt such a comfortable ride over harsh bumps even with mush costlier and bigger cars. 5 stars for this one thing.Braking is good and the car doesnt drag on to sides when braked abruptly. It comes to a straight line halt in short distance. There is some dragging noise from theundercarriage when brakes are applied and the company person who came with us could not explain the reason. I found the same noise from the petrol palio stile as well. Overall it is an excellent car and if the car gives 17 kms for a litre of diesel as claimed, then it is going to give swift diesel a run for its money. Only the maruti peace of mind factor should keep swift ahead

Proudly to say, "My Fiat" gives me around 16-18 with AC in the Bangalore city limits...and gave me around 24.7 on the highways from Bangalore to Mumbai.... ripping at 165s..... Its an 1.3 SDX, October 13, 2008, purchased...Ozone Blue... Modified Mags and Interiors... Nitrogen Air in the tires instead of CO2... stable handling even at 150s on the expressway to Mumbai... so no regrets even to this date... and Palio is always a Palio... no comparison and no compromise car....

Reply to Nitin,, No vibrations are in the car at high speeds I have driven the car for 10000 Kms there was initial noise from the brakes but now is none, The car is the most stable car in its class. Reply to Vacky77 : The FE of the car is 15-18 in the city with AC on and on Highways is always above 22.
