We had 3 FIATs at home...Palio for dad, Linea multi-jet for me, Linea T-jet for my brother... Just sold my Fiat to get an Ecosport, but we still have 2 more FIATs :)
As a Fiat fan and a proud owner of a Linea T-jet, I can’t thank you enough for this video. I still remember how my friends questioned my decision to buy a Fiat but after spending almost 10 years with my T-jet, I can only continue to smile. Such a solid car with amazing performance. To top it all, how exclusive it feels (especially because of the Bronzo Scuro shade). Thank you for making something cheerful for us fiat folks :)
There are nine Abarths in my city, including mine. Much like how jeep wrangler owners wave at each other in America, we Abarth owners do the same be it with a flick of headlights, a rev of the engine or a nod of the head, we acknowledge each other. 6 years on and I still can't find any worthy replacement for an Abarth.
That was one hell of a car. A single stage remap can bump power to 200 hp. Drove one in kerala. Was absolutely blown away by sheer power and rigidity of the car. I think they left for good becuase indian dont value great cars . They just want cars with high average and fancy gizmo
I have never seen you present any episode completely with a Kolinos smile whole through out. Palio S10 will put a smile to anyone who loves to drive anywhere even today
I was waiting so badly for this video since the post came on instagram. Literally this is Automobile journalism , this is how it should be. Only real enthusiasts can do it . Absolutely meaningful slogan - #Forenthusiastsbyenthusiasts . Thank you guys ........lots of love❤❤
Daewoo Cielo One of the most hottest and luxurious car of the time I think it was Indians first car to get power steering and power windows Im really looking forward for a video on the Daewoo Cielo As it’s kind of a antique piece and there’s a lot to know about As a car enthusiast I’m pretty much sure that There a very few of them who actually know about the Daewoo Cielo My request to @evoindia please bring this to lights for car enthusiasts
23:20 hearing that news i initially enquired at the dealership in Delhi about the UrbanCross. they replied it had been discontinued in 2018 or so. Then asked about the Abarth if on similar discount. but the last price they quoted was ~10 lakhs. since new speed cameras were installed in Delhi, buying the beast made no sense. hence i moved on to Polo highline plus.
i grew up calling it the "Palio Style" atleast thats how i pronounced. How could you do this to me, sirish? sti-leh? damnnnn 😂😂😂 i feel so dumb already
This is called auto journalism. Nostalgic feeling,still remember back in the day we used to see the ads on the back page of the newspaper to see the specs
I have done mcom . I m also crazy about cars and I want to do auto journalism . Please can u guide me in detail . So how can I become . What should I do to do this job
I would love to see a separate video on sienna, Petra and linea Tjet - The forgotten sedans of Fiat in India .These cars are rare today and please do a video on Mitsubishi cars and opel cars in India. There's an huge amount of people who would love to see them again after all these years 😍 just like we enjoyed seeing these beauties in this video 🔥❤.
Back in April 2004, our family was looking to replace the ageing Omni we had. I tried so hard to sell the Palio, but dad wasnt convinced about the Fiat dealerships and service network. Finally we settled for the 75hp Indica petrol. Weird as it may sound, it was a fun car (not dynamically ofcourse), had good grunt for its time. Finally in 2010, we got home the Linea 1.3L top end. Apart from the ground clearance, it was one lovely car. Not sure if you would agree, but the Multijet sounded nicest in the Linea compared to any other car it shared its engine bay with. The engine note when revved hard was lovely for a diesel. We finally sold it to our neighbors, but still parked outside our gate. Almost 3 years and I still regret selling it. What a lovely car it was, in fact it still is.
Thank you Sirish for this exclusive FIAT episode as I am a FIAT enthusiast and own Punto and urban cross and palio stile in the past. All of them top spec variant. Because of poor marketing we won't be seeing them in showrooms. Nonetheless Fiat cars are absolute pleasure driving machines...yeah I do have many memories of Fiat cars and the most interesting one I would like to share with you...
The first time i tested my friends Abarth punto in Kerala highways, i was simply blown away by its insane power. Whats funnier is that Abarth gives u no clue as to whats lurking inside the hood. Even the exhaust is just like the normal 1.2 Naturally aspirated petrol engines in the segment. But once i hit the accelerator, the massive torque followed by G force that throws us back on the seat was terrifyingly thrilling. Once you get used to the gear setup then its just point and shoot. Out on highways there is simply no beating the Abarth. I often used to exchange my Figo 1.5 tdci with my friends Abarth for occasional trips. The only downside in Abarth was a gearbox which did no justice and a completely messed up ergonomics that ruined an otherwise supreme beast on wheels. 👌👌👌
I believe Those who never owned a FIAT are now wanting a FIAT but... the time is over, like it is said, Good things never last forever. I am a proud owner but i will always live in a regret that i could not own an ABARTH. Waiting for FIAT to do a come back.
I am so lucky that i own the abarth punto and get the best service from fiat easy availability of spare parts too in pune fiat showroom where jeep has owned that showroom i loved their cars and i am planning to buy the compass to ❤️❤️
Fiat made a mistake by signing partnership with Tata . When we gone to buy a Fiat , that Tata guy was more interested in selling Vista but we chosen fiat Punto 1.3 multijet in 2013 , and now in 2021 with 80,000 km My Punto is still an beast and also many people are amused and asks which car is this 😊
Same here never gonna be tata built like tank after Fiat cars FIAT badge is not badge it's different feeling My family owns Fiat Ford vw cars No doubt all are best but Fiat really feels different feels unique
Every Fiats are so well made that they last for decades easily. Only trouble is getting the spares/ a mechanic that is expertised in Fiats. But when you consider the reliability, Fiats are the best.
When Fiat Palio has been launched what I most liked is the "4 Headlights" My Cousin brother still owned PURPLE COLOR FIAT PALIO still running smoothly from Ratnagiri to Kankavli
I remember that the Punto was in Need for Speed Most Wanted, which happened to be my favourite game back then, and then seeing the Punto on the roads, gave a different feeling
I own a Grande Punto of 7 years. I always liked it very much up untill recently when I drove the 3rd gen i20. Now I am loving my Grande Punto. The driving dynamics can never be matched. It lacks modern features but it doesn't matter when you take it to a winding patch of road. The drive is supreme. I will never be able to part from it no matter how many iterations of i20 there will be.
I drive a Dodge Dart 1.4T with a DCT its the grandson of the Punto engine - makes a lot more power and torque. Insane amounts of FUN - it has an Alfa/Fiat derived chassis. My first daily driver was my parent's 2008 Swift DDiS, and I loved it. I had no idea Fiat was responsible for that engine. Growing up, catching an Abarth in the wild on our Indian roads was always a delight; thank you Fiat.
Ford and Fiat are victims of a poor India strategy - great drivers cars, poor perception management. For example, even now the average Hyundai owner believes a Ford is expensive to maintain, whereas that hasn't been true in well over a decade. Frustrating to say the least ...
@Sirish, this is nostalgia at its peak and thanks for featuring this. @Fiat, standing ovation to you for the 1.6 GTX, Abarth Punto, and 1.3 Multijet. It is a shame on us that we don't encourage cars with performance & safety in India. Fiat, GM, Ford, and many more in the future, we enthusiasts will miss you to the core.....
greetings from Brasil! over here the FIat Palio is a very popular car, actually the last variant of this model was sold here until 2021, was the lightweight pick-up truck Strada and even having such an old project, still was the leader in sales in the category and today Fiat sells a new version of the Strada but in a modern platform here most of the Palio cars was sold with a 1,0 litre FIRE flex engine (it accepts petrol or ethanol, or even a mix of both in any proportion) and is a very popular cheap used car, and is a very easy sight on brazilian roads, but we don't have any diesel engines in these cars (actually in brazil any vehicles that aren't trucks, lorries, buses or 4x4 with low gear can't legally have diesel engines) we also have a sports version, the Palio 1.8R, with 115 hp a good trivia aswell: the Palio Adventure was designed in Brazil and most of the Weekend models was sold in this trim level over here, and we have this trim level for the Strada pick-up aswell
Clocked 2 lakhs in my Palio 1.9 a few weeks ago. My son uses a Punto, I also had a Petra 1.6 but had to sell it due to lack of parking space. I do have a Duster 110PS but prefer my 1.9D as my daily ride.
Thanks Evo this really made me tear up... I have always been a Fiatian had a Punto GP, Linea Tjet and now a awesome Avventura in my garage Love the brand that puts a smile on my face each time to get on the road
@@mukeshraheja8969 no issues with the avventura spares are available and service centers are friendly. Please do take one if you are getting it's worth it
@@mukeshraheja8969 I get the car serviced once a year and the cost of service with tax is 10k and spares are almost equal to maruti baleno and easy to maintain and long lasting
Indian auto mobile industry is very hard to decode for German, US, France.. Because we will not enjoy the drive and we buy cars for showcase purpose.. to show others on the features of the car.. Sad part is that we don't even give priority to our life, while choosing the car , we not even think about build quality which will protect our life.. At the end we forget to enjoy the car with fun to drive concert as well.... Hope generation's to come may change the tastes and preferences...
I think the 1.25 liter multijet engine of fiat has been totally overhyped because even hyundai came out with their diesel engines and trust me their 1.4 liter crdi diesel engine used in the i20 was 1000 times better than this engine and was way more refined and even felt underdressed at high speeds and whereas the multijet after 110 kmph used to cry out load and feel totally stressed and noisy beyond that speed and to me hyundai and VW still made better diesel engines than this overhyped and turbo lag freak engine ..
Had a Fiat palio n a beauty it was , had to sell it cause o non availability n vv expensive spares . Otherwise un matched power with good milage ( diesel ) n tough and a badly positioned oil sink . Gonna miss it .
Great story Evo India... I have always been a great fan of Fiat. I have owned a Punto in the past and still haven't driven another car that is as involving to drive as the Punto, this side of 20 lacs. That being said the story should have featured the Fiat 500 and the Avventura. The 500 even had a Abarth version. These 2 models showcase Fiat's uniqueness and their willingness to venture into unchartered territory. Long live Fiat!!
@@evoIndia yes, and that just spoiled the whole fun. But all Fiats had a personality in true Italian fashion. They rule your heart and not your head. They had their quirks but that's what made them stand out from all the other mass market commodities on sale in India.
Drove a Palio 1.2 petrol for 14 years and now a Linea 1.3 MJD. I have enjoyed the safety and comfort of the cars for so long. They make cars for driving pleasure... Sad they packed up...
My father has that amazing adventure.That car is an absolute gem.I’m so used to being in that car I hate all new cars.The engine the Fiat is mind bogglingly good.Still runs today and if it were upgraded with a turbo I’m sure it would do 200hp
@@mukeshraheja8969 it itself is a costly car than others in this segment and it is a good deal if parts and other things of the car are in good condition..finding parts may be a problem but price at which the car is available will compensate that..try getting more discount if at all available..
Then and now , Fiat is engine supplier in India ! We can't expect every manufacturer to get down to our "Standard" 😁 like Maruti / Hyundai. Whatever Fiat launched our people always complained. Riding position , rubber gear shift blah blah ... Like any other Fiat owners, few niggles aside ,I'm a very happy and satisfied owner of Abarth Punto ! That well sorted chassis, handling, dynamics, and that steering feedback ❤️, no cars of today come close !
It's not that uncomfortable like you say to drive an Abarth.. Its far far comfortable while compared to other cars in same segment. I personally own one and I love the comfort level compared to any other cars!
@@evoIndia yeah bro my uncle once drove first time Punto Evo for non stop 870 kms and seriously i am not joking he was came out like he drove just for 170 or 200 kms pf drive almost fresh 🤟🏻 Fiat is not a brand Fiat is emotions.
i still have Fiat Palio stile 1.3 SDX red color. on Puna bangalore highway i drive at 140 kmh. what a stebility and driving plesure. only issue is brake is not made for its power. so drive slow at 140 kph. else 160 . engine is still a gem. Sometime my friends ask is it new car ? :-)
Thank you so much for this video! Who better than Sirish to profile these icons. The heart still skips a beat whenever i see one of these beauties. The college crushes you never get 😁
@@evoIndia Hey EVO India and Team. Can yall please make a video with all the Skoda's sold in India like the - Fabia Octavia VRS Octavia VRS COMBI Laura VRS Superb V6 AWD These are Pretty Rare, Valuable and Loved Cars in the Community. I think alot of Enthusiast's out there including Me would love to some VRS cruising down the curvy roads of Pune. Hoping to see alot more Gone But Not Forgetton Videos in the near Future. Yours Truly Jaden Marques.
I drive the face-lift emotion Linea in beautiful Sun beam gold shade. It is very difficult to think of replacement in 20 lakh territory today. It's a special Car and unparalleled expressway cruiser.
Had a silver Palio 1.6GTX. You could forgive its 6kmpl mileage for the performance and build. It might not be upto today’s standards but back in the day when there were Zens and 800s it was truly a tank. Bought a Palio multi jet in 2008. Man….how they cut corners. No where as well put together as the old one. Big mistake. But the old Palio will always be among the greatest hits.
Would love to see Mitsubishi in the next episode. I have been your fan since the Overdrive Days, love your work, Sirish. Evo India is doing a fab job. Keep it up!
Thanks Bro i am Huge Childhood FIAT Craziest Enthusiasts owns Fiat Palio 1.9, Fiat Uno, Fiat Grande Punto, Linea 1.3 Emotion, Punto Evo 1.3 Emotion, Urban Cross T Jet
Do you have a Fiat memory or story you would like to share? We’d love to hear from you!

Drove a Palio 1.2 petrol for 14 years and now a Linea 1.3 MJD. I have enjoyed the safety and comfort of the cars for so long. They make cars for driving pleasure... Sad they packed up...
My father has that amazing adventure.That car is an absolute gem.I’m so used to being in that car I hate all new cars.The engine the Fiat is mind bogglingly good.Still runs today and if it were upgraded with a turbo I’m sure it would do 200hp
I am still using Fiat palio NV 1.2, for 2004.
could you also do a review of a hyundai accent and the getz prime. they are also gone but not forgotten
My grand father was having fiat padmini & my father was having fiat 118 & later fiat uno

You’re too kind says Sirish
Palio was a very different and modern looking car and punto avventura is still one of the best looking hatchback or crossover with a great engine
Is it worth to buy second hand avventura in 2021in 1.5L?
@@mukeshraheja8969 it itself is a costly car than others in this segment and it is a good deal if parts and other things of the car are in good condition..finding parts may be a problem but price at which the car is available will compensate that..try getting more discount if at all available..
You may try some sites who deal with second hand cars to know the market price of this
@@psen.9659 5 year old with 50K run..1L is good for that?
@@mukeshraheja8969 yes and not much km is done
Was an owner of palio S10 still regretting that I sold her 😔😔😔🥺🥺🥺🥺
I had a fiat palio 2002 model bought on 2009 used it for 3 years fond memories
Then and now , Fiat is engine supplier in India ! We can't expect every manufacturer to get down to our "Standard" 😁 like Maruti / Hyundai. Whatever Fiat launched our people always complained. Riding position , rubber gear shift blah blah ...
Like any other Fiat owners, few niggles aside ,I'm a very happy and satisfied owner of Abarth Punto !
That well sorted chassis, handling, dynamics, and that steering feedback ❤️, no cars of today come close !
Especially steering feedback 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It's not that uncomfortable like you say to drive an Abarth.. Its far far comfortable while compared to other cars in same segment. I personally own one and I love the comfort level compared to any other cars!
Duly noted 👍🏼
@@evoIndia yeah bro my uncle once drove first time Punto Evo for non stop 870 kms and seriously i am not joking he was came out like he drove just for 170 or 200 kms pf drive almost fresh 🤟🏻 Fiat is not a brand Fiat is emotions.
i still have Fiat Palio stile 1.3 SDX red color. on Puna bangalore highway i drive at 140 kmh. what a stebility and driving plesure. only issue is brake is not made for its power. so drive slow at 140 kph. else 160 . engine is still a gem. Sometime my friends ask is it new car ? :-)
Still has a lovely planted feel
15 mins past your show , thank god still having a Fiat with us .
I still drive a Fiat linea T Jet and I am still in love with the machine
Having driven Abarth punto for 70k. i can confidently say it is really really comfy.
Dear Sir Ford Fiesta 1.6S Aqua Blue. Testing please please please
I miss all those gems . Now what to do is think about it and cry inside a tin dabba
Abarth punto does 0-100 in 8.8 secs not 9.8 secs*
My friend can do it under 8 seconds😊
I love my Fox Trot Azure Fiat Linea T-jet Plus..
I had that 1.3 Multi-jet in my 2010 Indica Vista. What a motor!!! Absolute jewel to drive. Shame, Fiat had to go.
Excellent engine
This was built like a Tank! My father had a v bad accident.. Matador bashed the car from back… but nothing happened to the passengers!!
Thank god
Punto abarth was dream and remains
Dreams do come true ….
No one can beat the abarth punto. What a car man
Thank you so much for this video! Who better than Sirish to profile these icons.
The heart still skips a beat whenever i see one of these beauties. The college crushes you never get 😁
Glad you liked it!

I drive the face-lift emotion Linea in beautiful Sun beam gold shade. It is very difficult to think of replacement in 20 lakh territory today. It's a special Car and unparalleled expressway cruiser.
Had a silver Palio 1.6GTX. You could forgive its 6kmpl mileage for the performance and build. It might not be upto today’s standards but back in the day when there were Zens and 800s it was truly a tank. Bought a Palio multi jet in 2008. Man….how they cut corners. No where as well put together as the old one. Big mistake. But the old Palio will always be among the greatest hits.
And the gorgeous wheels on the GTX, even better than the S10
I lovely fiat car im used fiat uno very company support ....superstar fiat car
We still own one linea MJD and a Punto MJD as well in our family
Oh Yeah,,, Happy having a Fiat Palio S10 🤩🤩
Would love to see Mitsubishi in the next episode.
