I did a Bangalore-Madurai-Rameswaram-Trichy-Bangalore in 3 days. Will share my experience in my ownership thread. Overall I am blown away with the highway behavior of this car. I am tending to forget the niggling issues.

Thanks! I read that post about your highway experience. Great to know that it was handling brilliantly with your family members not detecting the high speed at all. I still haven't taken her out on the highway. Waiting for running in period to complete before I embark on a trip, perhaps to some place in the western ghats to check how brilliant this car's dynamics and handling are.

My hearty congratulations mate. I just test drove a T-Jet from Prerena Motors over the weekend, and it was an amazing feeling. Drive safe and enjoy the car !!

Speed Pujari · 13th July 2011, 17:30

Calling Earthed, madhukar, karthikk. I think it is high time that we should plan for a photoshoot. We may have to find a suitable weekend with less cloudy weather.

I'm in... Let me know the location, preferably not too far

The jet is still in the running-in period.. Now we have a a black, a tuscan wine and a sunbeam beige. What colour is Madhukar's jet?

Heartiest congratulations karthik, your T-jet looks absolutely gorgeous and stunning.
Enjoyed reading your thread and you really got a fantastic car.

It looks sexy, handles well, amazing grip, awesome stopping power and more over a silent turbo petrol under 12L. Just awesome ji

charthom · 15th July 2011, 20:13

KarthikK,

Amazing review!! Wow what a fantastic car and an equally fantastic review.
Balanced, thoroughly entertaining,giving full details,excellent.Rated a well deserved 5 stars.

Your car is such a stunner I had to pinch myself to believe it is true. It has imposing road presence and polished elegance at the same time. I fervently wish that your association with Fiat is fruitful to the root and you get the best possible customer service from them.

More interior photos-can we have? Would like to drool over those coveted Italian leather seats.

charthom · 16th July 2011, 14:38

@KarthikK,

Thanks for the detailed interior view.Nice pictures. Very nice indeed.I am still busy analysing them.

Are the ORVMs electrically retractable?

Nope. Fortunately or unfortunately, they are not electric folding ORVMs.

EARTHed · 16th July 2011, 14:43

Congrats Karthik. The pics are just superb!

Nice to see the typical FIAT type enthusiasm in you. Hope you have a wonderful life with her.

Hope to see you in all the future meets.

Super thanks! I would again thank GTO for his wonderful review which made me sell my pre-worshiped Civic for the t-Jet.

vb-saan · 16th July 2011, 15:54

Thanks Karthik for the illustrative review of the interiors. The review quality is almost like an official T-Bhp review

.

Does the T-Jet have anti-pinch safety for the windows?

I couldn't find your review though Karthik mentions that he did read through it. Can you help me locate that please?

Thanks a lot! Anti-Pinch safety similar to the one in the Vento? I haven't tried and checked if it is there. No mention on the catalogue or owner's manual though. Mostly not there.

I think you mean this. It is not a thread actually. Just his review post on the trip he took.
