Query for Palio Sports owners! - Team-BHP

sandeepdeshmukh · 18th February 2005, 08:10

Guys, bought Palio Sport 1.2 4 months back...being my first car wasn't very particular abt the accessories & inspection.

I realised recently that the fifth wheel is normal (not alloy like the other four). Palio owners

lemme know if its the standard or the dealer duped me.

hey dere congrats on your purchase !! keep it revving
they havent duped u dude as in case only 4 alloys and one steel wheel is available with the car on your purchase and it aint with only fiat but also with other companies ...

Congrats on your car. I also own a Palio 1.2 ELX NV Purple color and am from Bangalore.

Yes. It is the standard. When I was checking with Sundaram about NV Sport, they told me that you will get 4 alloys and a steel. Looks like this is a standard practice. The dealer hasn't duped you.

.anshuman · 18th February 2005, 22:37

most cars with alloys as std option offer only four wheels as alloys ive seen palios,ikons and skodas,i m not sure abt d segementers

.anshuman · 18th February 2005, 22:38

What...you paid 10k for formula red in Palio D? I think the dealer duped you. I did not pay any premium for my similar car.

yaa butt i have 5 alloys on my accent tornado .... even the spare is an alloy ... then i think hyundai is really good...or is it becauseits a upsegment so it has 5

Korean often try to push up their valueformoney aspect by providing more goodies as compared to their counterparts

otherwise its pretty much an industry standard to keep the spare tire as a spare tire itself and not a replacement tire.

turbo_lover · 19th February 2005, 21:59

the spare tire in the boot is never an alloy ..its steel ...very normal ...
and i happen to see a White Palio Sport 1.2 , at the FIAT showroom in Dlehi ..

cheers
