A very dissatisfied client of Linea… here are my inputs of the Car and the Service quality:-
- A/c Functioning is pathetic and Delhi heat seems to be excuse from the showroom
- Pick up of the car in the first 3 gears… seems like u have a truck on hand pulling weights
- The Emotion Petrol Version is what I own and have already logged in 6000 kms… no improvement on mileage … giving me b/w 10.5 to 11.2 km/L with A/C in city driving
- The Rama Motors okhla services sucks.. you send the car in for one thing and they spoil the other … the owner’s excuse … “We are use to servicing and managing Indica clients i.e.: the taxi driver clan” Poor attitude to top it all

sx4 is a real value for money car. Superb pick-up and power is unimaginable as compared to cars in its segment. Great control at high speed and is very sturdy.Ground clearance is good and the car has a clear Sedan look

I’m using a Fiat Linea Petrol PK since Mar 2009 and have just given it for my second free service. I get an avaerge of about 11 -12 Km/L in city usage ..n that too in Bangalore and for long drives it gives me an average of about 13 – 14 Kms/L…cos u tend to push the car to 165 Kms /Hr and fuel does burn at that power usega range. I have never had any issues with the car till now except for certain flimsy plastic fittings like the fake chrome door handles which keep coming off..!

Ajay, I am sure Fiat understands all this and won’t go overboard with the pricing. I too am a keen fan of their cars and was waiting for a power boost.

Dear Fas,

I hope the price rise, if any, is not substantial.

All of us flocking here to discuss and/or buy Linea/Punto are doing so only because of the value for money preposition. As soon as Linea/Punto ceases to be a VFM preposition, most of the potential customer will wean away and look for other/better options.

Everybody is aware that Fiat in India, as yet, does not command that much brand equity, and it would be foolish for Fiat India to price its cars equivalent or more than its other competitors. Even today, Maruti Suzuki has more than half the share of Indian Car market. Most of the car buyers explore Maruti Suzuki range (barring people who are very brand conscious, and are not looking for VFM prepositions) before looking at other brands. I, for instance, did the same, before short-listing Linea.

Hope, good sense prevails with Fiat India Guys. Otherwise, as soon as Linea/Punto ceases to be a VFM preposition, many of the potential buyers may drift away to other brands, offering better value prepositions. I may also do the same.

Ajay, that seems awesome news. But that would also mean a heavy price hike of the Punto. Now lets see how Fiat prices it.
