New Fiat Palio 1.3 Diesel

ANOTHER CAR that’s been ‘coming soon’ forever, Fiat should finally have the Palio diesel out by mid-2008, and it’s about time too. This diesel avatar will round off the Palio range, the very capable chassis of this tough-built hatch final­ly mated to Fiat’s equally­ capable diesel - exactly what was needed. So what we now have is space, com­fort, performance, economy and that tank-like build, all rolled up inside one afford­able package.

The only weakness this car will have now is the interior, which had been carried over from the Fiat Siena launched back in 1998, almost 10 years ago. Still, for those of you who want to sample Fiat at its brilliant best, look no Futher.
