I throughly enjoyed your article. I'm from Spain, and I own a 1.3 MJD Linea, same dark red colour as the article, and I have 17'' rims and darkened windows in the back. It's a beauty! Its interesting to read about a car almost identical to mine doing a long road trip in India! I've done long distance travelling, all accross Spain and also to Italy, and I agree with you that it isn't as confortable for long distance driving, and the space inside is crampier than expected. The engine performance diminishes drastically with three or four adults riding inside. But I use my car most of the time for commuting to work and shorter drives, so mostly I'm very satisfied with it. Adiós! Hello guys! I throughly enjoyed your article.

Driving the Linea fast and chucking it around twisties is a thoroughly enjoyable activity. The mid-range of the 1.4 Litre FIRE engine is particularly punchy and it is doing 150 kmph in no time at all; shorter gearing means driving in the city is an easy affair as well. However, it also takes a toll on the fuel efficiency; whereas I get only about 9-9.5 kmpl in the city, the Linea easily manages 14-15 on the highway. Also, the engine gets vocal and strained after 150-160 kmph. I have done a speedo- indicated 180 kmph though at least twice in the past 2 months. Not more often coz either there are kids in the car or you don't get enough road clear of traffic. My experience with the TATA dealers has been pleasant as well, so, yes, while the T-Jet is great news, the existing 1.4 petrol Linea is a piece of kickass equipment as well. By the way, the diesel 1.3 MJD linea is a second faster than the ANHC in 20-80 kmph in 3rd gear (11.86 vs 12.86 sec) and a whopping 3 seconds faster in the 40-100 kmph acceleration in 4th gear (Linea 13.64, ANHC 16.71 sec)- source Autocar India new buyers guide- any issue from Mar 2009 to Nov 2010. Howzatt? Nicely put guys. Driving the Linea fast and chucking it around twisties is a thoroughly enjoyable activity.
