| Hi, After months of waiting I have finally found a 2005, 19500 kms run Fiat Adventure. The price quoted is 3.5 lakhs. I have yet to see the car or get it certified by a good mechanic. But, now suddenly, the thought going through my mind is this : Is it worth buying at all ?? After all, new and world class cars are going to be launched soon and is there any reason why I should buy the Adventure. Team-BHPians owning an Adventure can guide me regarding my dilemna. The only -ve aspects this car has are low FE and lack of ABS . The +ve aspects are a bigger and much more spacious than the Uno which I own, high GC ( the silly mountain-high speed breakers have completely destroyed my Uno's silencer unit thrice ) and a great head turner. Please help. |

| List down your requirement from a new car, second hand or otherwise. This will help to guide.

| Senior - BHPian | http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-d...e+buyers+guide Go through this thread. It may help! IMO- The car was real good and one of the best VFM deals of its time, but has now been stopped. Make sure the service in you area is good (You must know since you have UNO), and parts are available there. Although the price appears a bit high.

| you might want to check on one of the other threads - where there was a discussion going on about re-launching a new look adventure - much like the palio stile - that might address the spares question somewhat

| Senior - BHPian | Well. After owning a UNO i think you wont be as satisfied in any other car than the Adventure. Another option would be the Baleno. SO it basically depends on your priority. Both cars gave top notch comfort levels just like the UNO. But unfortunately all three cars have exited the market. it would be good If you could give us some insights on what you priorities are.

| I appreciate you all for your replies and trying to help me clear my dilemma. My requirement is to own a more spacious car than the Uno, the GC has always been a problem with the Uno, my average running is not even 2000 kms per month. But I have gone on many outstation trips totalling 2000 kms to and fro from Hyd. Since my Uno is now 7 yrs old I feel it is time for me to move onto a bigger and much more advanced, dependable and faster vehicle. I feel that this Adventure has just done 19,500 kms and is available at roughly 50% of the initial cost. I have considered the Baleno but a 2005 model is not available for anything less than 5 lakhs. So I tend to save roughly 1.5 lakhs and get a car with such good features. |

| Senior - BHPian | How about checking the price here.. Used Cars, New Cars, Buy/Sell Cars, New Car Prices, Used Car Values - CarWale.com India you will have the answers. But be sure of the sapres availability as the manufacturing is stopped and it will be a Tata's service.

| One of my friends want to buy a new Fiat Adventure. Is this still sold in India ? I checked Fiat India's website and there's no mention of Adventure there. Only Palio Stile is listed by Fiat.

Infact I too hunted for mine around 6 months back in whole north india. And the only negative point which I am facing is leg space for rear seat. Rest all were known to me and I can live with them. | |

| Team-BHP Support ![]() | 3.5 lakhs is way too much for a Fiat Adventure; if the seller is firm on the price, that car is going to be on the block for a long time. Its a nice car, no doubt, but one you *really* have to love if you want to be happy with it.
