Thanks. Seriously I too hope that Fiat's image improves. They're making good cars and good engines but people dont actually know that. I meet a lot of people who enquire about the car and they know that the car is good but shy away from it seeing the Fiat badge. I bet if you put a Honda badge on it then it'll sell 2500 units a month, maybe even more! And I tell you, when I tell such ignorant people that Fiat owns Ferrari they're eyeballs literally come out of their sockets!

Thanks. Well what I've heard is that the more a thing is in demand the sooner it's available in CSD. Still nowadays most of the cars come to the CSD pretty soon. And if Punto will be available through CSD in a month then I think thats good going. Wish you all the best for that and I agree that the wait can be killing. When you're waiting for something so badly then even a day seems like a month!

Thanks. Well, if you take four hours for writing a review then I guess it does come out passionately.

Actually I dont have any problems with the angle of the dead pedal but the space between the clutch and dead pedal is my concern. The clutch pedal comes in the way of the dead pedal so it's not that usable. And I dont think the pedals position can be changed. They may be bent outwards but I think that will hamper operation.
OK, thanks everyone for welcoming me to the Linea club here but really it's my pleasure as there are already well estabilished owners here.
Time for a small update- went to Ambala today, which included a fresh new piece of Tarmac that was dead straight for 25 Km! Can you believe it- 25 km and not even a slight bend! And dead staright means dead straight, I mean I've never seen anything like it anywhere in India till now. You cant even see the end of the road, it just kind of fades out. Ideal place to test top speed though I limited myself to 100-110 K's. Total distance of round trip was 105 Km of which about 10 Km were city driving and Av' FE shown by MID was 20.5 Km. That is WOW! I'm guessing that actual would be around atleast 20. And so for the 400 odd Km's that have been driven since the last tank full, the MID is showing 15.5 Km. Now I'm seriously thinking that some tuning or something has been done in the first service. Does anyone have info on that?
