Yes Sir, I second that...In 2010 I have driven the Palio only for a very few kilometers. I have been using a Zen for 3 months and now Alto for one month. You know what? I am saving an extra 3k every month. I am not blaming FIAT because I absolutely love FIAT machines, however diesel is not my cup of tea. I guess that a petrol FIAT will not give much trouble as a diesel FIAT.
1.9 D is front heavy - which causes the suspension to wear faster than its petrol siblings. Also the vibrations in the diesel motor are so strong - it makes the bolts come off  |
