In the recent past, I chanced upon test driving few cars in the Indian market and driving couple of my friends vehicles. Four Car Companies - Two Japanese, One Korean, One Italian. Four Cars. All Sedans - Honda City S-MT (3rd Generation), Honda Civic V-MT, Toyota Corolla Altis 2009, Hyndai Verna 1.6 SXI and Fiat Linea. Even as I write this, I admit, there is a bit of personal bias creeping in. But then, I can't help it. Originally it was to be the Korean Verna for the first test drive on Saturday 3 pm, but the buggers from the Hyundai showroom informed us of their inability only on Monday. Idiots! The actual test drive started with the Linea on a Sunday Morning. The sales person was known to me from my Palio purchase, he was on time for the test drive. The sales person was very co-operative and patiently explained all the stuff. Though I have seen a few of Linea's images in the net and couple of them on the road while driving my Dynamite on Wheels, it was for the first time
