Today the new line of Fiat’s are becoming ever so available, in fact these are one of the biggest cars that is creating a lot of commotion on the automobile market. Waves are being made over Fiat’s new range of cars – the Fiat Linea is soon to be introduced to the world.
This really does look a beautiful picture built with some of the latest technology to make sure the driver and passengers will have the best comfort when driving and make this one of the safest cars available today.
The car may come with a nice price tag but that takes nothing away from the sheer quality that the Linea has to offer; the amount of features possible is amazing and nothing is skimped over either. Everything from this car is perfect and no-one can say that Fiat has not done a perfect job when creating this car.
Let’s start off with the interior of the car; the Linea will have such quality over everything however but look at the front first. The front quarter glass on the driver’s side has been shaped to perfection to allow extra visibility and a new A-pillar being added also. Only the best quality has been added here so enjoy.
The only disappointing thing for the Linea for the interior is the dashboard, it is a dual tone which does have a certain appeal to it but it does lack something. Of course this is a nice feature but it doesn’t have something that will make someone really stop and think this is the best feature to the car which is disappointing but still most would say it’s OK. It shouldn’t put anyone off however from this Linea, its good enough and if it wasn’t then it wouldn’t have been added to the car.
When it comes to Fiat trying to add ergonomics well they haven’t always done this to perfection however when it came to the Linea then it really has done something special here. They have made their ergonomics a top priority here for this car though they still haven’t got this done perfectly but they have given it a good try. It is good however so don’t let that discourage you.
Your center console is placed nicely and easy access to the driver, most of the controls are so don’t worry about that feature. You are not going to get a perfect view of course, not always with your front quarter glass but still good enough.
You are going to have however a raking windscreen though your seat can be adjusted so that you can be comfortable and help you get clear visibility. You are going to have tilted steering which helps to make sure that the driver will be comfortable and get a good height also. The drive facing ignition is pretty good looking also; it does make it a nice feature.
When you really look at some of the things however, it is little like a mixed response; the car will have a lot of great point but also a few little points that it fails on also. The glove box is not as great as you would have hoped it to be, you will need to try to shut this a few good times before it actually closes.
Your bonnet lever is also a good feature but it can be a little too easy to break however so watch out for that. However most of everything else is good, you have an arm rest as well as your levers for the doors and steering has been given a lot of priority and has been done perfectly. Even the car doors shut with little noise also.
You are going to get however almost five variants of this Linea, you will have the; Emotion PK, the Active, the Emotion, the Dynamic and the Dynamic PK.
This new Fiat has really surpassed a lot of surprises however and even though the price tag may not be to everyone’s standards it is certainly going to give out a few surprises when it comes time for these to sell.
You will have a Multi-Jet diesel package and remember that the Linea has got a lot of great features with the car. There can be a lot of less positive points however, the interior for a start, they are not very attractive in many ways, they can even be considered as outdated and a little boring. Quality is good at some parts but lacks in many other parts.
That is the same with the after sales support (A.S.S.) that is not as good as you would have thought either even from this Fiat. You are going to get twin airbags however and A/C vents for your passengers sitting in the back seats as well as head rests. Remember there will also be alloy wheels and a new headlamps as well as your voice command Blue and steering mounted audio control. In fact there are so many other great features with this car.
With your suspension, it can absorb shocks and take them with perfect grace though the car can make a lot of noise while on the quiet roads especially since it is diesel. The seats have been designed to make sure there is a lot of comfort to the passengers even if there are three sitting in the back of the car. There are a lot of room for your shoulder and legs to work with so that the level of comfort is raised.
