Hi All
This weekend I was watching an autoshow on CNBC-TV18. During the show a viewer asked that he wants to go for a hatch and he was looking to keep it for a long term 8-9-10 years. He was considering a Suzuki Swift Diesel, Fiat Palio MJD (Diesel), Hyundai I10 (Petrol), Suzuki Wagon-R (Petrol).
This so called auto expert on the channel said the life of the diesel is just 4 yrs and max 5yrs and discouraged him from going for diesel and after that it is prone to a lot of SH**T or issues with the engine and all the other moving parts related to the eng.
He encouraged him to go for Hyundai I10 or Maruti Wagon-R.
This whole thing shook me becoz, I have just bought a Fiat palio MJD and was wondering if the diesel hatch not the right option for longterm ownership? and is the life of the engine so short?
Appreciate if all technical gurus of FIAT pls ellabroate on this...Thanks
