Hi Doc,

The color is just WOW.

Good Luck Doctor

 

Congratulations!!! Happy Motoring, Enjoy THE BEAUTY!!!!!!

 

Even I have the same question Doc as Gurjinder. Did you get the same tyres as your stock ones. I believe they give Good Year not continental. Correct me if I am wrong

 

I bought it from Tata Kosmo Jallandhar.I guess they sell only Tata vehicles mostly to cab drivers so they might not be experienced to handle customers of luxury/near luxury cars.However I bought from them coz I was in touch with a female sale rep who kept on updating me about Linea since spet2010.I didn't want to disappoint her in the end.

But truly I have forgotten all this due to completely different driving experience than my previous Petrol Getz which I bought in 2005.I went there to buy a Fiat Linea and not for handshake with showroom guys.

Also I have learnt my lesson of NEVER going for loan from non-PSU banks/finance companies.I guess showroom guys were behind all this as they might have had some 'benefits' had I gone with Tatafinance.

Stock tires were GY Eagle NCT5 which I replaced with CPC2 of same size within 5min of getting the delivery of car.My 1st choice was however Yokohama V550 but I could not get those that day.I'm very much satisfied with tires though cant compare with stock tires.

If it was not this color,I would have gone for fl.red (cherry/maroon like) as I saw this beauty just once in front of me and I could not get even close to it with my getz.White was very much in our thoughts as well till we went to see this new color test drive car in showroom on the way to a marriage function.

BTW I have I have got 17-18km/L mileage as I drove from 290km(1st low fuel indication) to 710km(2nd low fuel indication) with about 24L of diesel.I should get more in coming days as I don't go beyond 80km/hr and I'm more of 'sensible' driver.

There are some minor issues as well which i will post later,may be tomorrow but nothing major to worry about.
