I have tried to keep this review as short and as honest as possible.
Please feel free to post your questions/suggestions in the comments section (Claiming as no auto-expert but I believe, after driving Linea for half a lakh kms, that I know my car )

@ jannatulfirdos1213,
You are true. the best car in the class and closely above :) the only place she needs improvement is in the upright acceleration power.. but that doesn’t mean that she is inferior to anyone.. her looks, handling and braking itself is more than enough to make you happy and ...others envy :) you can feel this envy following you where ever you go :)..
even people who own lil higher segment cars, like civic, is praising it :)
you know what.. you can still upgrade the power by remapping your ECU and/or by updgrading your airfilter. but i suggest this only if you are a frequent driver in highways, where sometimes you need some serious acceleration power to overtake monstrous trucks.. for the city use she is just fine :)
i am growing with my linea :)... but by offering exceptional control and braking ability, she made me a bad driver.. because now when i drive other cars I am expecting this ability from it unknowingly and is taking life threatening risks :(.. god
remember uncontrollable power is as good as not having it :) and if you consider this sedan for sedative driving - she is the queen! Thanks.
adding one more point - you can have a car who is best in looks/power/torque/handling/braking and mileage - and that will be a BMW Diesel sedan :)

yes.. but if you are only ready to pay 10+K for a car that is scary to drive beyond 120 kmph because of its thin metal body and tyres (ridiculously) + free vibrations inside the cabin..

girish.. yes the punto is superb.. from where else the Linea got its amazing drive ability and stability?.. :) the platform is exactly the same..

hey Girish... why so confused? you should buy none other than T Jet!... the car will surely give you 10 - 11 in the city and if driven carefully more than 16 - 17 kmpl in highways... though its really hard to drive a T jet ignoring its turbo.. mine NA linea gave me 19.8 kmpl once!

as dipesh said.. though this engine is just 90 bhp it drags the car very well.. actually i got amazed.. mine is a petrol one..
but still i love to own a T-jet which will smoke all other cars even a league ahead :)..

Hi yz12,
who said i never admitted the truth? i asked mr. Vijay Verma to contact Fiat's higher officials incase if his car is in such a horrible condition..
that doesnt means that all Lineas are like this.. :) right?!
you are saying that what ever i am putting in this site is a lie? comeon ...man i have 100s of other jobs to do!
what I am saying here is what i have experienced! and i am supporting linea because i just love it! (or the car made me so)..
'U may be happy with your car since u have already brought it and u do not have any option'
how can you say the above statement? i made thorough research and took number of test drives to decide!.. you were saying as if i got a linea as gift or something which i have to accept without any choice..
not just me.. almost all the linea owners here had the options to buy any other car..
anyone who read your comments all over this site can easily understand how 'genuine' you are :)..
i dont have anything personal against you.. but seeing you always criticizing linea with your full energy forces me to respond..Read More

@ Gopal1960,
even i am not 100% happy about the ac... give it an extensive trial before taking if AC is that important to you.. but some owners says that its perfectly chilling...
mine takes some time to get the cooling effect.. but putting the sun film might help.. i am yet to try that..

but amazed to see when once it gave me a mileage of 19.8 kmpl in a highway.. that too a petrol sedan... (speed maintained 75 kmph)

though the power is adequate.. for that adrenaline rush linea needs a bigger engine.. 1.9 diesel or a T-jet petrol will be awesome. the body can easily handle speed more than 200 kmph.. rock solid.. i have tried till 170 kmph (mine is petrol).. still fiat detuned the engine.. it helps in mileage tho...ugh..Read More

'It can never happen that things like power and torque improves drastically after driving 3k-5k kms.These are constant from Day 1 '
then tell me what is that i have experienced? i am not telling a story here.. just what i have experienced.. dont commend unless you are 100% sure about it!
