I have recently purchased Fiat Palio1.1 SLE or rather exchanged my Fiat Polio 1.2 in last week of February, 2008 from Jaika Motors, Nagpur . It is a nice car in comparison with Fiat Polio 1.2, which I was having previously. Best feature being much better average. A slightly reduced power is felt at the time of initial pickup but than it gives much better average.
Only thing I could not accept is that I was shown the car in the showroom with the following features such as support Ceiling Handle above both the doors in the rear ceiling for the passengers in the rear seat and a beautiful molded boot tail gate cover from inside.
But when the car was delivered to me, I was surprised to find that both Ceiling Handles in the rear and the Molded Boot Tail Gate cover are missing. The whole interior was spoiled due to open sheet metal ribs & compartments boxes showing wiring without rear hood cover from inside the car.
It is rather surprising that a car costing around Rs.4, 19,000/- on road is not provided with such minor necessary items which are provided by other car manufacturer such as Hyundai’s all models of Santro and Maruti’s 800 to wagon R and Chevrolet.
