The new Fiat Siena 1.6 is perhaps the most underratedmid-size car in the segment.Consider this:
1.It offers 100 bhp which is equal to Honda City 1.5 model and much greater than Ford Ikon 1.6 Nxt or Hyundai Accent.
2.It has the largest rear seat in its class.
3.It is the most stable and offers best ride of the lot
Autocar India
4.It has the largest boot space 500 lts. = Tata Indigo.
5.Priced between the Hyundai Accent and Ford Ikon
YET, the car is not selling. The reasons are clear to understand. Fiat's image problem is discouraging buyers and the fact that it is based on the Palio platform dosen't exactly make it unique when viewd upfront.Lets see hoe Indigo(based on INDICA) will do.
The Fiat Siena was awarded the 'our choice' award by a leading car magazine when the new model was introduced about an year ago.Still it dosen't sell!
So, if u are going in for a midsizer do test drive the Siena. We did and bought the Ikon 1.6 but u can make ur own choice!
