My Silent Warrior Black Fiat Linea MJD!

vikram999 · 4th March 2010, 15:01

Hello Dear Friends..

i Want to introduce My Initial Ownership Reports ...Regarding My brand new FIAT LINEA MJD DYNAMIC I am writing my first review ever..

I just upgraded myself from my good faithful Hyundai Accent GLS Clocked 90,000 kms from my collage days to the Grand Looking FIAT LINEA Diesel. I gifted myself with at LINEA Diesel Dynamic model In Silent Hip Hop Black Color.

Initial Review:
I have completed about 1100 km of driving within 12 days of delivery and the car is quite clean and comfy. The interiors are very roomy with oodles of space all over and the car has a boot of 500lts, which allows you to throw in anything for a long family rive. The seats are ergo designed for long drives and can seat three BIG adults very comfortably. The leg space in the rear seating is damn good (better than the Indigo XL & My Previous Hayundai Accent).

Quick Fact
City: Jaipur
Dealer: Kamal & Company
Sales Person: Sandeep K Joshi
Car : Fiat Linea
Model : 2010 Jan [Dynamic]
Delivery Date: 12 Feb 2010
Kms Done: 1140

After Market Accessories:

Congrats on purchasing the Black beauty. Little disappointed knowing its DYNAMIC. Would be more happy if it was EMOTION+ with lot of gadgetry .

Felt that Linea rear seat/legroom is not comfortable as Accent. Can you explain more in detail of interior space when compared to Accent.

Congrats Vikram, Enjoy the Black Italian beauty!

just want to confirm is it with my car.. or its happed to all hip hop black color owners..

& i also want to know what are the tyre pressure for front & rear for highway drive..

vinay.pillai · 5th March 2010, 08:08

@Vikram - Well, scratches are part of life for all cars but in our color, it shows up very easily.

Pressure I maintain - Nitrogen gas with 32 in all four shoes and 33 in the backup

cosmopolitan · 5th March 2010, 14:43

congrats dude on your special car with a special colour

vasanthn21 · 5th March 2010, 15:16

generally all vehicles look great in black color, uspey Linea in black - soney pey suhaga

I agree it is difficult to maintain though. ab kuch paaney key liye... kuch khona toh padtha hai!

Autocop · 5th March 2010, 16:28

Vikram, Many congrats for becoming a proud owner of the beauty. Welcome to the Linea Club. Enjoy the admiration!
