2002 Fiat Palio GTX review from India
"Great Car-Poor Quality and Dealer Service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lambda Sensor.
Brake Pads-twice.
Shoch absorbers - front.
Aircon Thermostat-twice.
Fuel pump.
Irregular idle - continuing since purchase despite several dealership visits, tune-ups and part changes.
General comments?
Good handling, comfort and performance.
Roomy cabin makes a good family car for a hatchback.
Good suspension makes comfort driving on potholed roads (atleast in mumbai.
Unfortunately, a disaster on mileage (irregular fuel consumption levels) and quality of parts (high and random failure rate)
