Great value for money, but don't expect much on resale.
Cost
The Palio Stile 1.1 retails for Rs 3.6 lakh, which is incredible value for money for the size of car you get. It still has terrific on-road presence,
a quality look and a well-built feel to it.
Overall Evaluation
The Fiat Palio Stile is a stylish, large hatchback which is incredible value for money. However, once you step inside, you have a fair idea of why
it is so cheap. Despite cheery beige and brown interiors, one can't help but notice the generations-old slider air-conditioning controls,
the dials that look dated and the lack of modern safety options. Look beyond the negatives, however, and you see that you get a stylish Italian
car with great driving dynamics, but built to a price. Forget about the fuel costs and buy the 1.6 in blood red or if you need the economy,
the MultiJet diesel is a good bet. We can't wait for Fiat India to lend us one.
Useful touches
Car will not lock unless the key is with you, so there's no chance of locking yourself out.
Crank lock to prevent the starter motor activating if the engine is running.
Dead pedal.
Painful touches
Gearshift is still rubbery and throws slightly long.
Not enough space to keep knick-knacks inside.
Mirrors are small, and inadequate for our traffic.
