Verdict
In its newest avatar, especially with its aggressive pricing, the Linea makes sense for the value seekers. It may not be the best package in its class, but is still a very well rounded product. Sturdy, classy, feature rich and fun to drive – the Linea has always been a very strong product. In the diesel variants, competition has more frugality and features on its side, but the competition more expensive too. As we mentioned, if you want a reliable, sturdy car which is built like a tank – the Linea makes a strong case for itself.
Brand Fiat took a drubbing with its unsuccessful partnership with Tata Motors, but the company is showing an unprecedented sense of eagerness to iron out all the sales and service related issues once and for all. In its new avatar, the Linea is offering terrific value. If you like driving, and want a car that’s high of features, fun and value, the new Linea is worth having a look at.

Hi
My linea has an assembly quality to worry about. Petrol lid and radio did not work from day one! The leather cover around the gear is shabby and keeps coming off, the power windows are the noisiest in its class…Never had These problems with any car before… Mileage is horrible. Steering is hard so is the suspension- built as a race car and not for city driving at all.. The steering column can be felt by your foot while turing- no car will give you this unpleasant experience. Electric problems persist. Only good thing is the engine… You think real hard before you buy.
BTW, storage is non existent…
Be careful if you want to buy Linea !! My Linea – 3 steering boxes damaged in 75000 km !! and many other parts changed. Fiat told me – ,,is not our problem,, !!!
