Please help!
This is indeed something weird. Does it have something to do with unbalance in tyres? Pease get it checked during the first service. Would be best if you can replicate the issue in front of the service person.

In any case tagging other linea owners for this - Linea-Lover, Italia-Linea, dj.nish, J.Ravi, kvk, bbllaazzee for their inputs on this.

After driving for 43700KMS I certainly have not found this feature

in my Linea

It’s been 31 days of relationship with my Linea. I have completed 3k KM in these 31 days including two outstation trips (Indirapuram-Ambala-Indirapuram and Indirapuram-Mohali-Indirapuram) and planning another one

I love driving Linea on highways, its so much of fun!! Initial hiccups are getting settle down.

I had mentioned in one of my earlier post about "thad-thad sound while braking". This sound is not there now, do not know how.. but I am happy that sound is no more there

Engine seems to opening up and gear shift has also become smoother (but still they give rubbery feel). As this is my first diesel car so getting used to with the low end torque.

Once in power band, the pull is amazing. I have taken her to 140 KM with ease.. no sign of engine straining, no vibrations at all.. loved it!!

Narrow footwell is something I have to be careful about. Yesterday I was driving to local market and while braking I heard engine revving sound, I was like

on close observation I got the culprit.. actually I was wearing chappals and while braking one side edge of my chappal was on brake and other side was pressing pedal A !! I have no issue while wearing shoes or slippers but with chappals I need more practice, I guess

I am loving my Linea and this love is growing with each day.. with every drive.. and yes I am living my dream!

Today I touched 150 KMPH and Linea remained calm and composed. As I was alone hence no snap. I touched 150 on a single road that is behind Noida - Agra expressway!

I am waiting desperately to drive my Linea on expressway once its open for public! As of now its sometime in Aug!

This happens with every FIAT owner.
