Palio 1.6 sport booked! Edit: Now Delivered - Team-BHP

viper_711 · 10th July 2008, 22:31

After much deliberation, a five year old wish has been fulfilled today cheers:.
I've booked a palio 1.6 - in magnesium grey with Manipal Motors today. Delivery has been promised on 16th July Friday.

This decision was arrived at after considering various options that ranged from a Swift ZXi/VDi, Palio SDX, second hand Corolla/Fiesta/Palio1.6 and Indigo CS Dicor.
Finally the practicality of some of the options were overcome by a sheer need to own and drive this car before it is relegated to one of the greats in the automobile annuls.

The car is quite well equipped and the accessories planned are a good ICE setup, Stebel Nautilus compact air horn, remote add-on for the central lock, pro-grip leather steering grip and a tinted wide view IRVM.

The dealer is providing the basic stuff such as mud flaps, mats, car perfume and I have managed to convince them for 3M sun film.

Major upgrades planned for later are 195/60 R14 Michelin XM1's and a performance filter. Vitamin M needs to be replenished before these can be accomplished.

Of course i've read your posts! i've also liked your MM mods.
How much did the speakers cost you?

Congrats Viper, Palio 1.6 is a sports car, mods. make it look good. I had 1 long time back , enjoyed a lot but efficiency used to pinch. Later on things at Fiat went really wrong. This was the time I finally decided to part with it.
Surely you would enjoy the experience.

hey viper - Congrats on your new car!!! The Palio is an amazing piece of engineering, and I would have got one if I had been more convinced about the A*S*S, but you got yourself a real treat there man.

Wish you many years of driving pleasure. Take care!!!

himanshugoswami · 11th July 2008, 11:39

hi Viper...hope you bargained well for discounts. Dealers in Hyd are giving 55k discount on the 1.6...should be similar in Bangalore.

ragsri · 11th July 2008, 12:22

Congragulations Viper. Very good choice..
I have a mag grey Palio 1.6 bought 7 months back and has run about 5500 kms.
I like this car ! Great pickup, smooth ride. Mileage is 9.5km or more in city; and this would increase, the servicing guy said.

Drive Safe
