There is one such fiat(premier padmini) lover, who&#8217;s just turned 16, and goes crazy while talking about the car and that&#8217;s none other than ME!!stupid:<\/p>\n<p>I have been having (actually my dad! lol) this car for the past 14 years , that is from 1996. When we shifted to chennai, my dad was in a dilemma. We wanted a car badly as all places are far away from the place where we stay and my mom had to do a lot of travel within the city. And my mom had got a liscense by around 1992 i guess. But she hasnt driven many times after that. So my dad decided that looking for a 2nd hand car would be better.<\/p>\n<p>  So my dad began the hunt, and atlast shortlisted over 2 cars-1) A maruti 800 which was in a pretty good condition and the asking price was around 1.3 lakhs(dont remember the colour)<br \/>\n2) as u all can guess, the 2nd car is none other than the premier padmini, a 1989 model, grey colour, with grey seats and stuff( guess factory fitted) and nearly 35k-40k in the odo and was in a good condition. The the price quoted was 1.05 lakhs.<\/p>\n<p>due to certain financial constraints, (and also due to my luck) we opted for the fiat atlast.And i still feel how good the decision to buy the fiat was!<\/p>\n<p>From then onwards, the fiat became a part of the family. And we were enjoying each and every moment with it.<br \/>\n I still remember me and my sister having a fight for washing the car!:Frustrati<br \/>\n So much was the craze and love.<\/p>\n<p>As the days moved, here comes the first long drive in our beloved padmini&#8230;..(to be continued)<\/p>\n<p>Pics:(now its having a metallic silver paint with maroon interior scheme.-but sorry guys, no interior pics with me now, so will click some and upload asap \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/long-term-ownership-reviews\/279141-premier-padmini-my-love-my-pride-my-passion-fiat-1.jpg\" >Attachment 279141<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/long-term-ownership-reviews\/279142-premier-padmini-my-love-my-pride-my-passion-fiat-2.jpg\" >Attachment 279142<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/long-term-ownership-reviews\/279143-premier-padmini-my-love-my-pride-my-passion-fiat-3.jpg\" >Attachment 279143<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding:6px\">\n<fieldset class=\"fieldset\">\n<legend>Attached Images<\/legend>\n<div style=\"padding:3px\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attach\" src=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/long-term-ownership-reviews\/279141d1265026502-premier-padmini-my-love-my-pride-my-passion-fiat-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attach\" src=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/long-term-ownership-reviews\/279142d1265026502-premier-padmini-my-love-my-pride-my-passion-fiat-2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attach\" src=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/long-term-ownership-reviews\/279143d1265026502-premier-padmini-my-love-my-pride-my-passion-fiat-3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/>&nbsp;\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/fieldset><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Car: Premier Padmini deluxe BE year:1989 year of purchase(2nd hand): 1996 Part 1 As you all know, all fiat cars have lots of enthusiasts, be it of any age.
