Lovely choice there. Just visited Shaman Auto to check out the new Palio 1.1. The car looks much better than it does in pictures. I was not very fond of the rear styling on the new Palio, but in reality, it looks very good and contemporary.
There was this palio 1.1 SLX (top variant) in the gorgeous new ' cobalt blue' colour, with 1.6 Sport alloys fitted on it.So thats what the new 1.6 Sport will look like.The alloys are not new in terms of design, the same old 'alfa romeo' look telephone ring alloys.The 1.1 does not come with alloys as standard on any of its variants. So have a look at Shaman Auto, Prabhadevi.
Regarding you questions -
1) FE in mumbai city - 8-10 kmpl with a/c depending on where and how you drive, and 16-18 kmpl on highways.
2) My experience with Shaman auto has been pretty good most of the times and I have been their regular customer since the past 4 years.
3) Same as above. Its better to buy and service your car from someone who has been working on Fiats since a long time.
4) The a/c is good, but its not really that good in extremely hot conditions. Maruti Swift has a better one IMO. But there is no performance drop with a/c on
All in all, once you drive the 1.6, even with the slight drop in power, you will never want to drive any other car again.
