re: To buy or not to buy a T Jet+. NOW BOUGHT. @ amit_mechengg I hear ya and it does make sense. The thing is, what update is being carried out as the Linea sold in the European market has not seen any updates. I do agree on the fresh car bit and am willing to let go of that. The other problem is with Fiat India and its updates. We saw the 90Hp variant at Auto Expo and it took them forever to launch it. At the end, all we got was a 90 horse power diesel engine. No cool alloys or sticker job. In my opinion, the wait is a little too long to wait for. The other problem is I just sold my car and am car less. I do miss having a car. I can deal with it right now as my wife and 1 month old son are away. It will be difficult when they are back mid December.
Just so you know, something as small as the wiper motor is made in Germany.
@sdp1975 Not interested in a used T Jet or any other car that is used. I just went through one and though I blame myself entirely for the experience, the point being, right now, I want a new car.
@nishantgandhi When Fiat India plan on resuming T Jet production is another concern for me. It may take forever.
I will do the PDI. There is no way I am skipping this. Kinda sad that you need to on a brand new car. This must be a India only requirement.
@mile cruncher The good thing is I get a 2 year extended warranty as part of the deal. The 2 year extended warranty does cover things as small as a power window motors. I did go through the terms of the extended warranty and it is totally worth. However, at the other end of the spectrum I found something like the ignition coil not part of extended warranty.
@PG Narain The thing is the driving experience. This is not just one of the best, this is the best in the segment from a drivers point of you. I want the ultimate drivers car.
@ethan hunt123 Too old and boring if you ask me. On the interiors, I find the Linea at a different level. Like I said, the Cedia is really old now and even the interiors reflect this. It is worth buying at 6 lacs, not 10.
@hemanth anand I will do that. I totally agree with you on driving the T Jet. Driven it thrice from the dealer. Is there something called driving orgasm? This car is it.
@ cranky
I don't care about resale. This car is going to stay with me for some time to come. Money does not really come off a tree for me so....yeah.
I won't be gunning the car all the time. I have a family now. My wife understands my thrill and joy and does let me have some fun at times when I am at the wheel. This is all I want. I used to have a gas guzzler Ikon 1.6. I doubt if this car can drink as much with a light foot. I can afford to burn some gas cash every once in a while.
I had a very fiddly used Ford. I am sure a new car won't be any where as bad. But yes, I do treat my car as if it were a part of me.
For the Maruti question, I can't for the life understand how one can pay 9.4lac for a fully kitted SX4 petrol minus the body kit. Too expensive for a Suzuki. If the others don't like my choice of car, they can go to hell.
If I am not driving, there ain't no car in my garage.
My work commute allows for some speed every single day.
This is for all of you. The dreaded feeling about bad service from Fiat India is not restricted to India. The service is pathetic even in Spain and Italy. I have this information from a spainiard who is a colleague. Spare parts are a problem even in the Fiat home land.
