this is to bring to ur notice that I am one of those unfortunate owners of Fiat Siena TD 60 .Though the machine is good when compared to other cars the service of Fiat Dealers is absolutely hopeless They are bothered only to rob the money from the vehicle owners and least interested in good servicing and maintaining good relations
Another point is the non availability of Spare Parts .We had to wait for 2 months to get one Strut Assembly and another could not be secured and I had to put one which is not supplied by the Company
I had to face problems and humiliation from the Dealer and Service Incharge everytime I went there
I have decided to give an advertisement in the Local News Paper against the new Fiat vehicles to be launched
I have set apart 40,000 Rs for this purpose and I feel that nobody should purchase a Fiat vehicle in future

The Launch of Fiat Linea is a mistake now as there is an Economic slowdown and the cost seems prohibitive.The vehicle should have been launched a year early or waited for some more time or it should have been much more powerful with 1.9 litre diesel engine.I don't have any confidence of making this car a hit as the cost should have been around 4 to 4.5 lakhs

Well according to me Fiat Petra D 1.9 is the best car ever launched in india.spares and service are available in metros.car by performance is the best one.i am in love with it.

I agree with you totally. After sales service and availability of spare parts is hopeless. I am stuck too. Its a perfect example of a good product killed totally. Sudeep Bhattacharyya, Gurgaon
