Full Review

I have bought the Petra 1.9 ELX(Diesel) and even the best Car companies are recommending FIAT engines when it comes to Diesel Engines.

I travelled 790 KM. in a day and found the Car giving good mileage. Around 16km/ltr. with airconditioner.

It has the highest ground clearence in the segment which is required for Indian roads. I think they are designed for roads in India. Specially the Suspension with a 'telescopic dual effect shock absorbers' that is not offered/thought by many other manufacturers.

The Dashboard is well planned. I can see the indicators that are active. Or else nothing is visible.

Although the Torque is low I feel they have designed it in that manner as FIAT has better machines like Alpha Romoe with High Torque.

The Leg room in Front as well as Rear is very large with the Boot also giving more space than any other in the same segment.

The Folding rear seat is also something that is highly thought by FIAT.

even i was very surprised to find the same as only the palio stile petrol was available for sale on their website. But when enquired from the dealer it is still available for sale through dealerships............
