REVIEW : Hey, I have a Palio 1.2 ELX. I have nothing new to say
man. Its a great CAR with 0 faults in the whole system. It runs as
though I am sliding on butter, its very spacious. Even me(touchwood) had
nothing to spend on the maintainance of vehicle and beleive it or not it
gives me an average of 12 kmpl in City limits. I am planning to further
modify it and keep it with Me for the rest of my life. Just to add to
it, people who do not have a palio with them have lots of negetive
things to share, but people who drive'n'experience it are very happy and
share positive opinions on the car. Its the actual worth for money. Yes
offcourse the spare parts availality and the issue identification is an
issue with the mechanics, but I feel that this is because its designed
in a very accurate manner that a local mechanic would not be able to
troubleshoot and resolve.

REVIEW : I have owned the Palio NV 1.2 Sports since July 2004
and it is close to 45,000 km now, and I love it. All of these reviews up
here are absolutely correct! Sorry for those who couldn't find positives
in this car...seems they no nothing about the pleasure of driving a car.
Anybody looking to buy a new car in this segment, please don't think
twice - go for the Palio! I'm waiting desperately for Fiat to launch the
Bravo and the Linea...I'm gonna have to go check them out and buy
another Fiat if needed :D

REVIEW : I have a Fiat Palio Stile SLE for almost 6 months now.
Palio is a real men’s choice. Solid body , Great looks, spacious,
Good controlling power. And the spare parts that what i get almost in
month or around 2 months time.Even i never get my palio wheel covers in
any showroom in delhi. So in whole 6 months, I use my car for 3 months
only just because of the spare parts which is not available in delhi and
every time i got excuses from service dept. Services are really pathetic
even after collaborated with Tata.

REVIEW : I had bought a Palio ELPS when it was launched in 2001
and drove it till 2006 when i exchanged it for a Baleno .I had done
1.1lakh Kilometers in my Palio.It is one of the greatest cars Fiat has
ever produced and it has no coamparison on the Indian roads .Thugh i
started using Baleno since 2006,my love for Palio didnt cease and it
compelled me to buy a used Palio elx about six months back.Now i have a
baleno and a Palio but Driving Palio is an out of the world
experience.You need to experinece to believe it.

REVIEW : I own a Palio Sport 1.2 since May 2002. My experience
is wonderful and I still love driving it. Mileage is 10 in the city and
around 12-12.5 otherwise. Servicing has been a problem ever since Tata
took over. The guys do not understand anything about Palio. Special car
requires special and trained people to service and maintain. Spare parts
are not stocked and takes time. Otherwise great.

REVIEW : Fiat Palio Car looks attractive but its running is
costly due to capacity of engine compared to maruti 800 and it is also
lengthier than which creates problem in parking at home. Middle class
family like this car as i like but fell hitch due to mentioned reasons.

REVIEW : It is a myth that the Palios are uneconomical to own
and drive. I believe writers have been unfair to the Palio. While
underlining this one character in the Palio, they do not make an honest
assessment of its competition in terms of the fuel consumption. Cars in
the Palio's segment -- the mainly Getz and Swift -- are as good or as
bad as the Palio in terms of fuel consumption (may be a kilometer more
per litre). This is for the 1.2 litre model. Even the 1.6 is not as bad
as the reviewers would want us to believe. I had a Palio 1.2 for 6 years
(2001 Dec to 2007 June). I sold it to buy a Palio Stile 1.6 Sport, this
June. I knew that the reviewers have always been wrong about the Fiats.
I bought the car because I did not believe what's being written about
the Palios. Auto journalists have a duty by society and not by the
manufactuers. Otherwise, safety -- which the Palio offers in tonnes --
would not be given a go by. Or should Fiat take our journalists to
test-drive their new cars in exotic locales abroad for some good
reviews?

REVIEW : I love fiat co and its palio model but i realise that
number of citizens of india does not have adequate place to park their
vehicle. Palio is longer hence people feel problem to park it in their
porch/front space. I request you please reduce the length as well as cc
of engine to reduce the fuel consumption and make it popular among the
general public. I have a very good idea for adevertisement which will
not only increase the sales but also allure the people to purchase it.

REVIEW : I own a fiat Palio 1.2 ELX. I really found that at
present TATA is not whole heartedly promoting FIAT. Recently my friend
wanted to buy a Palio Diesel, but the tata people at Chennai has very
tactfully, averted his attention quoting the non availability of spares,
service stations etc and lured him to buy an India. Please check into
it. I am posting this msg because, I am unable to find a portal to
contact you in any other related site.

REVIEW : Our family owned a Fiat Palio 1.2 for five years from
2001-2006. Let me be pragmatic and unbiased with my opinions. First the
Negatives - Low Milage, Poor Service network, Parts non-availability.
Now the Positives - Good solid design and heavy in weight which gives it
a definite advantage over any other car in it's segment while driving.A
very powerful engine corroborated by it's high bhp.Good ground
clearence.We went to Gangotri in our Palio right at that point from
where ganga river originates and were told that very few cars could
reach here.We now own Honda city zx 1.5 but still feel that the pleasure
given by Palio was far superior than that given by Honda

REVIEW : My Bother bought a Palio and he feels honestly that he
can not maintain Palio, really hard to maintain.(For Sure) and I would
not recommend anybody to buy this car. People say that is a good car but
do not accept it. Service center persons are too bad. They are not able
to fix problem, even they are not able to get parts on time, very bad
mileages.We have bad experience with Palio, SOLD it in 10 months.

smooth ride, No engine noise, good milage, Tough and heavy body which
make you feel safe. Just fitted LPG kit and it runs even more smooth on

REVIEW : After a long pre-buying analysis of almost all cars
(santro, swift, getz, indica, palio, etc.), I can proudly say that I
have decided for Fiat Palio 1.2 NV ELX. The kind of features and quality
that fiat is offering in Palio 1.2 NV ELX is marvelous. The comfort,
pick-up and smoothness that I experienced at test drive is amazing. Both
interior and exterior is keenly designed. Even though people around,
have always discouraged my decision buying Palio, I have gone for it,
only after experiencing the real difference of Palio and other cars. I
really wonder, how a company having such a good car, is failing in
marketing, branding and servicing aspects !! Truly, if FIAT is really
interested in growing in potential Indian market, they just need to
seriously concentrate on these areas, and I can say with 100% confidence
that it will become the No.1 car in Indian market. Looking forward for
more happier news on FIAT in near future.
Anyways, my dream car palio, with all branded accessories (Leather seat
covering, Alloy wheels, Kenwood Stereo,etc.) fitted will be ready to be
delivered this Sep 25th. Then surely I will share my experiences again
:-)

sturdiest, the most silken on roads. I get 10 kpl with AC on in city and
14 on highway. No probleems so far and the support from Tej motors in
Ahmedabad is praisworthy. With Tata now joining in, Palio is still the
best buy in its class.

REVIEW : I have a Fiat Palio 1.6 GTX for almost 3 years now.
Apart from regular servicing I have changed only the wiper blades and
the battery.
Last June, on one of the hottest day, I drove to Chail from Delhi. At
120 km on highway I was comfortable and I had all the power in the world
in the hills with my AC on and 4 occupants.
I have driven both old and new Honda City, but nothing like the
pleasure of driving my Palio. Right feel of steering with just right
feedback, no body roll, and you feel that you are at 60 when you are at
100 km/hr.
The only problem I face is that with the terrific pick-up and smooth
sailing I find it hard to keep the car at 50 km/hr speed, got challaned
twice at 62 km/hr. I am happy that the Palios have survived and are
available after Fiat-Tata collaboration.
