Fiat’s only current product got a facelift sometime back and now comes with a 1.1 and 1.6 petrol engines. The 1.3 mul¬tijet diesel is also available. The recent front and rear end have infused some freshness but the 1.1 engine has still to score with buyers. The new two-tone finish does little to conceal that the cabin has gone way past its expiry date but there is no doubt that the Palio is a strong, safe and solid car. It steers and handles quite well and the 1.6 engine can still give the competition a run for its money.
