I guess it's a personal and subjective opinion but I feel the Linea handles better than the Ikon and feels a lot more planted and the suspension setup is wonderful. I guess you are pretty attached to your Ikon  About Sun film - Like you I was not too keen on Dark sun films because of the same visibility concerns, so found the right balance int the 3M RE50 sun film. It's not at all dark and does not hamper visibility in the evenings or night and does a decent job of keeping the heat out. However don't want to install sun film for the front wind shield. Am not comfortable with the idea and have concerns about its visual clarity, a year down the line Yes they could have done a better jobs with the side pockets and the glove box space. A portion of which is taken up by the Blue and me And Media player component. My only crib is the absence of a bottle holder and the driver seat armrest comes in the way of engaging the handbrake.

I guess you are pretty attached to your Ikon quote] Yes, Linea feels much more planted than Ford Ikon with a better suspension effects as well. Its the drving ease & manuevering which I feel Ford is the best at. However, it also is a subject of getting used to the car especially clutch-accelerator-brake combinations & the effect may improve once I get completely used to it |

It makes me believe that the companies used to give 91-octane that time but may be not now. today there is still no official confirmation from anybody about octane-ratings except for govt auto fuel policy (thats also dated 2003) unless we believe that its fully implemented by all. however, i also feel better to stick to xtrapremium. still, for curiosity, would like to know if anyone has official news about octane-ratings of petrols available | |

However make sure first if they(Wasan@chembur) service Linea as I think they are not yet authorised for Linea service. FIAT website says the same. Better you call them up and confirm. As of now, only Fortune Motors, both Nerul and Powai, Tata Car Repair Shop, Worli and Wasan@Kandivili service Linea cars. | |

As you are residing in Navi Mumbai, what is the feedback of the Fortune Cars Nerul, have you got your car serviced by them ? If i am not wrong you purchased your Palio 1.6 from there itself. | |

I have done my 2 free services at Wasan Motors at chembur though i've purchased the car from Fortune. The environment and the people working there didnt impressed me at all to get my car service with Fortune. My friend who used to service his Indica with them was mostly unsatisfied with them. Hence didn't wanted to take a risk! I would had preferred Shaman however the dealership was called off so had to go to Wasan which is nearest to my city! | |
