Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Feels like driving a Mercedes, World Famous Engine is very responsive.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Great Handling and ride quality.

 

Final Words Great Car to be used in cities and highways. Five Persons can be sit with comfort. Boot space also is good, Value for Money, This is no doubt a superb car.

The mini-Maserati front end is the highlight of the car, the tear drop headlamps looking striking. Flared wheel arches are well integrated and add a bit of muscle to the car's profile. 15 inch wheels and a wide 195 patch tyre (mounted on 12 spoke alloys) give the Emotion variant a particularly balanced stance. The alloys themselves are not to my taste, but these are a li'l better than most OEM alloy wheels. The rear looks neat & tidy, thanks to the C-Pillar light arrangement. The Grande Punto wears an overall proportionate design and looks particular smashing in red or black body colours. Clearly, the Italians know a thing or two about style. In some ways, the Grande Punto does come across a modern sibling of the Palio. To me, the Hyundai i20 was the best looking hatch on our roads, until I saw the Punto in the flesh on wednesday.

 

Areas of improvement Dashboard has to be better.

 

Styling,Economy,Features,Safety,Powerful ACPlastic Quality Not Upto Mark

 

Exterior Compare to i20,swift vdi, body built quality is very good & good front look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Less boot space,poor plastic quality,no rear AC vents, riding comfort is very good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Powerful 90hp adavanced multi jet egnine with good fuel economy i.e in city 16.5 kms & in highway's 20 kms, Clutch & gear box is very smooth compare to swift.

Ride Quality & Handling Good riding & handling comfort.

Final Words I just completed 2250kms in my vehicle, good vehicle in this segment ,major concern is service ,,so think before u buy in all respects.

Areas of improvement Back shoks( thud thud) noise while going thro' bumps / pathole's, need to be rectified or upgradtion need to be done. Worst service in TATA showroom,no one aware about the technical/ mechanical works. all the time engineer need to come & resolve the issue. Overall experience W R T service is very worst. Request to All fiat people try to keep customers happy by provoding good service.

Out look & comfortWorst service,,interiors is not upto mark i.e quality of plastic is very bad.

Exterior Excellent exterior and wonderfull design thanks to FIAT. My car is Fiat Punto Emotion 1.3 Diesel 90 HP, Bossa Nova White. I go people praises it so much. Personaly when I look at my car I find difficult to remove my eyes from it. It is really a head turner.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior space and comfort is excellent provided by Fiat. At first look space at rear appear to be cramped. But while you sit on rear seats you find it to be extremely roomy. Comfortwise it is uncomparable to any other car of its segment. You get the smooth drive, confident and secured feeling while you drive it. Just take test drives of it and other cars like VENTO, RAPID, DEZIRE, SX4,( sedan in power, ride quality and handling+braking) SWIFT, FABIA, POLO, I20 ( hatch in all expects ) and you could find out the difference. Many people ignore it because of its resale. But if you want to buy a car of your own choice punto is perfect. I have taken test drive of almost all the hatch and some sedan and it was better then all. But now Punto has fulfilled all my expectations. Feature wise the top model offers all the features and you cannot ask fore more. Blue and me, dual airbags, delayed power windows, abs with ebd, auto door locks at speed of 20 kmpr, door open warnings, seat belt warnings etc. If you take turn even at more than 100 km/hr there is no shear force felt by the passangers and the car is extremely stable because of aerodynamic design. If you apply sudden break from very high speed like 120-140 km/hr the steerings is as smooth and controbale as usual driving.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance including pick up, torque is  excellant in this car. Milleage little bit less than swift or i20 but that is at the cost of more weight of the vehicle that offers you more road grip and smoother drive. The car is extremely noiseless and there is no body noise at all, indicating the solid built of the car. It is unlike other cars i drove which is very light and gives you an insecured feeling. The high torque of engine gives car more power which is fun to drive at high speed or in drag race. Gear box is responsive to after first service of new car.

Ride Quality & Handling I drive my car by my own and you wont believe till you drive that, at high speeds like 120-160km/hr car is as stable as on 80-120km/hr. You will have a feel and confidence that car is under control at high speed and in critical situation, Thanks to very very responsive steering and excellent braking as compared to other cars. The door opens at three steps to prevent sudden striking with nearby vehicle during parking. All the bumpyness in the road disappears while you drive it. You can drive in a reasonable high speed even over the speed breakers because of its excellant suspension and high ground clearance of 185cm (170cm of swift and 168 cm of i20). Safetywise Fiat has given highest importance to safety of the passangers which is uncommon in othe cars of this segment. Almost all the safety features of the luxurious sedans is provided in car. Its safety starts from its aerodynamic design. Fiat has even compromised little bit of milleage by increasing the weight to provide more safety.

Final Words I drove my car 45000km in just 6 months and I am  fully satisfied with my decison. You want off-road it will do, you want smooth drive it will do, you want high speed or even rough yes it will do that also for you in any conditions without any compromises. I was a little sad because of its service provided by tata but from 1 jan 2013 new separate showrooms for fiat are opening so I am happy. And congrats to all fiat owners.

Areas of improvement Interior should be improved. In this segment all the cars offer great quality of plastics and rich interior quality even tata vista. But till fiat improves that it can be compromised.

Good interior space, excellant exterior look, good millage, smooth drive, responsive gear box etcinterior can be improve

 

Exterior A very soild and robust built car. Excellent & very impressive looks. Wide tyres with alloy wheels.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very well designed interiors very convenient to use. Comes with lot of excellent features like Blue & Me which is a very well thought feature that makes your life easy while driving and attending your mobile calls. Tilt adjustable steering & height adjustable driving seat & a decent music system. Electrically adjustable side mirrors are very convenient to use. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 90BHP engine is very powerful and can zoom in high ways and even in city driving needs very min gear changes. Very silent and refined engine and smooth gear shifting all these features definitly makes this car driving a pleasure.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Takes on rough roads and handling is execllent. You really feel safe in this car even driving at high speeds.

 

Final Words Its a value for money and I strongly recommend to go for this beauty without any negative thoughts.

 

Areas of improvement Plastic quality of the dash board can stil be improved.

 

Excellent looks, Well finished interiors, Solid build QualitySpace at the rear little cramped

 

Exterior Very Nicely shaped. Just as a sports car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very nuch specious in front. Even 6 feet persons can stretch their legs straight.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Best engine in disel variants. Sounds as good as petrol engine even on 120 plus equally spported by very good torque. Efficiency wise its 15 in city and 20 on highways which is good.

Ride Quality & Handling This car is truly a drivers car. No doubt its handling and ride is best. even on 150 km/h it seems to be very much under full control no other hatch back enjoys this. even on hilly curves this car grips the road like magnet. Its suspension too proven to be best in class as it tooks bad roads too with great ease.

Final Words Just spent 6 months to decide for better car to buy. Only after getting all the parameters analised of all available cars I took decision to own this car and now I am a proud houner of this car, It has just done 6000 km and still going better.

Areas of improvement Rear Pillars to be made sleek to improve backing visibility.

Great Pick up, Smooth handling, Very good SuspensionRear pillars need to be bit sleek to overcome better visibility while backing up..
