Hey @rudrah, The car comes with Blue badge ! But that red badge would have looked really good.

Damn...why cant they bring in something different all at once!

Btw...can u provide me descriptive cost details of your purchase since i'm thinking on the lines to get one soon!

Also is it feasible to buy the car from Pune and get it registered here in Navi Mumbai?

Experts please comment on this...

thanks

How are Michelin Energy XM1+? They are supposed to last longer and give better mileage.

I recently shifted from Good Year GPS2 to Michelin PP2 and it's whole world of difference. PP2 are so much better. I was expecting poor ride due to lower profile, but it rides better and handles FAR better at the same time.

@pankaj.... It still looks ever so brilliant. Nice car, keep it shining new.

@rudrah :

Ex showroom Price : 4.30 L
Registration/Insurance/Processing : 54000
So On road Price : 4.84 L
Dealer + Corporate discount : 26 K

Hence It costed me 4.58 L on road.

Just bear in mind that I had booked it in last week of May. There was a price increase in June. I am not aware how much is the price increase but it will cost you atleast 15k more.

@RX135 : Michelin Energy XM1+ are really good. The road grip, cornering have improved. The road noise is reduced. I am not really checked on the FE difference though dealer as well said that FE will be improved slightly.

the red badge is the centenary badge for FIAT & it is available for new generation engines, 1.3,1.6,1.9 MJT , the 1.4 petrol with & without turbo...

1.1, 1.2, 1.6 are all a decade old engines...

FIAT, always...

that is 1.6 MJD/MJT which is diesel & is available only in Bravo, 1.6 MJT is better in torque & efficency & generates as much power as 1.9 MJT..

FIAT , always b'cas, i cannot afford a BMW right now, only 2 brands among cars i like..

seroiusly their premier brands like ALfa romeo Spider are real good too..

i am more than happy with my 1.2 PALIO & looking out for a used FIAT PETRA with tilt steering & unique alloys which came only in that version...

FIAT, always....

Cheers~
