Fiat Linea Classic price in Thrissur

Common Fiat its 2018 now! Wake up from the unconsciousness and launch some reasonable product in the Indian market. Fiat has been for quite a long time in the Indian market and yet the company has not been able to attract a decent number of buyers. The reasons can be several including the after sales and servicing network of the company. But the most common reason why it is still far behind its competitors is the lack of some good all-rounder product. I am a proud owner of Maruti Suzuki Dzire but I always wanted a Fiat sedan because I have heard about its engine and performance a lot. But there wasn't any other option for me and the dated looks and below average interiors of Linea Classic had put me on the back foot. And let me tell you something about the price. For an expensive price tag of Rs. 6.50 lakhs, I wouldn't be sacrificing a car like Maruti Suzuki Dzire which is much cheaper and scores well in all other aspects. And the world knows the sales and marketing reach of Maruti. So I made a good decision. Fiat! Get some life.

Pros: well known- Vehicle good in ride comfort, excellent road stability and handling is good. Pricing is competitive compared to the rest of all vehicles in the same lot of 8-9 Lakh vehicles. Fuel economy can't be quoted as the best in class but 18~19 kmpl is not bad for a diesel engine (70 Ps). Pickup is sluggish at lower RPM (till 1100 RPM) could be felt if you are climbing uphill, turbo kicks in after that & betters the acceleration at mid & high range. It doesn't need any intro, well-known Fiat 1.3L Multi jet diesel engine proven across the globe. Noteworthy to say the taxi fleet in other OE stable shares the same engine that's the clear indication of its proven engine reliability. Cons: - Expect the turbo noise & squeaking noise inside the passenger compartment, steering pulling towards left is often observed in vehicles. Power steering could be felt heavy compared to most EPS vehicles. Service support could be challenging & limited service centers availability could be challenging at times, remember the rainy days in Chennai had to wait for about 20 days for a slot.  

Look and Style: looks and style of Fiat Linea Classic are awesome!!! Comfort: is comfortale!! Pickup: pickup is very good as this is a diesel car with a perfect price tag. Mileage: what mileage a car would bestow upon you depends on the way you drive it...for me it is 23-24km/L highway; whereas while driving it within the city, I enjoy around 18Km/L of mileage. Best Features: Warnings, this feature warn you when any of the doors is left open or loose, hand brake, seat belt etc. Needs to improve: nothing really. Overall Experience: loved driving.

Look and Style Excellent Comfort Best in this price tag Pickup Not so good but it is ok. Mileage Good Best Features Price.

Well, if at all you ask for which is one of the affordable sedan in the Indian market, the answer would be Fiat Linea Classic. This sedan is an entry level of its Linea series and it delivers high performance and offers a decent mileage as well. This compact sedan has got a good overall shape and body line, impressive interiors and excellent driving quality, when compared to other vehicles in this segment. The exterior design of this car looks more aggressive than the regular Linea model. Occupying yourself inside the Fiat Linea Classic sedan, you will certainly feel very comfortable and the company has used good quality material to make the interiors, which will further enhance the overall appearance. It also got a roomy wheelbase, which makes the sedan more spacious from the insides. This sedan brings a high quality internal environment to the customers. The most highlighted factor is the cut down price, which is about Rs 7.6 lakhs (ex-showroom). The model that I took out for a test drive was the top end classic plus variant that is equipped with advanced safety and comfort features. It has been fitted with a 1.3-liter Multijet diesel engine that makes about 75bhp of power and 197Nm of torque. This engine has a five-speed manual transmission, which is smooth and offers about 19.5 kmpl of mileage, when driven under standard conditions. As far as the driving quality and handling is concerned, it is perfectly balanced with a good suspension system, a proficient braking mechanism and very smooth in pick-up and acceleration. It is equipped with innovative features such as ABS with EBD, a central locking system, rear defogger and seat belt warning lamp. Finally, I feel that this car is slightly more affordable option for the mid-sized sedan buyers. The Fiat Linea Classic has amazing looks and a good performance, but it lacks several safety and comfort features.
