    dear friend as you have prejuide for fiat

     but my friend fiat is prducing best whicle in th world

    but in india we have problem due to

    1) old image of premier padmini ( we know it as a fiat )

    2) very good material of body they use which spoil early in inidan weather by raust

    3) unawareness of brands & improper marketing stratagy

     & if you are from mumbai you must have to note that in all india mumbai kar are trusting fiat more then any other area & you know then reason they trust that brand & wh+o ever use old fiat they also satishfied that means there is no prob with whicle

          for buying any car you have to know your need & you have  to clear your mind

         so that its not like dont go for fiat ok

                 we lucky now that we are having m any choices now

     I do agree. Because Fiat is not a trivial brand. It is a brand of international importance whose cars are famous across the world. I understand that Abhay might have undergone some trouble with the Fiat car he has got. But rather than relating his problem to us he has made false notion about the whole Fiat brand thereby satirizing the whole Fiat brand which is outright unfair.

    Re: Never Ever Buy a Fiat

    Well Here are some True Facts about a Fiat

    * FIAT - Fix It Again Tomorrow

    * Pathetic Service Segment

    * Very Expensive Spare Parts as compared to a Maruti, Hyundai or Honda

    * Non Availabilty of trained mechanics

    * Having Tata as a service extension is a myth, Tata's dont even know how to service this car and I am not talking about one Tata dealer at one city, infact I have checked Tata service centers across India and its the same story

    * Only Fiat service centers are running out and infact are none in Delhi and NCR

    * Fiat Customer Support doesnt help, and if you call / email them you will get a standard response "We will get back to you"

    * My car itself after a few years is demanding around 50 K

    * The resale of my car is 60 K

    * Eg's My car AC knob was broken and to replace that I need to buy a Rs. 3200 knob and a Rs. 2500 wiring to support it and this does not include service charge and even after getting this done FIAT is not sure if the problem will be fixed

    * Another - I have changed my cars Feul pump thrice and each costed a good Rs. 6500 and has no warranty to it

    * Another - My cars Speedometer is wonky and no body in Fiat knows how to fix it and a new meter costs 10 K

    Well I can carry on and on but can confirm

    PLEASE NEVER EVER BUY A FIAT
