Fiat Punto [2011-2014] User Reviews

Exterior

I have actually no words to define this Italian babe's look. Just have a look at it. You won't be able to get your eyes off for few seconds. Perfect in length, good enough width , Aerodynamic shape are simply class apart.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Car is one of the most comfortable cars in the segment, that is all you would expect from a premium hatchback.:) Large space for the front passengers, rear ac vents under the front seats.:)

Here, interior could have been better. Plastic quality, they have used and dual-tone dash board of black and silver colour personally I don't feel it to be loved, still not bad as well.Rear seat passengers have to sacrifice little bit to the space, managable enough :P

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine is little noisy but once you shut down the windows, trust you will be isolated. You will not feel any vibrations or noise inside the cabin, unless you go for a high speed. It hasn't a class apart pickup due to heavy metal body but managable enough to get its place in the competition. Auto accelaration in 5th gear.;)

Ride Quality & Handling 

On the highway it has no competition at all. She is going to give you the feel of sedan. You gonna feel everything is under control event at 150 kmph. No words to describe her on the shart turn. All credit goes to Hydraulic power Steering, "far better than the competition", unanimously accepted by each and every Autoshow channel. 

Final Words

 As Fiat says, "If you love driving, we are still ahead."

Final Words.

Very good car in the sence of low Maintance , driving comfort , power ,fual economy . pic up and amazing unmached warrenty . and we getting very good service from Fiat owned sevice outlets ,earliear it was very poor from Tata out lets .I drive my Fiat more than 51000/- kms within 2 year span including including rough hill terrians of Utrakhand ( Delhi to Munsiyari and back with full load ) and very long jorneys to Odhisha etc , and now too no problems with my car . ony problem i found tyre life was very low (aprox 60,000) may be it was because of its heavy body weight and power full braking system . but it helps some other way like driving comfortability etc

Exterior Super, Like the style very much.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quality is ok, but should work more. interior plastics need to be better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent engine performanace and good milage. Approximately 20 km/litre. Not very noisy engine even though i am using diesel engine.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good. Number one car in india. Excellent driving comfort. This car is more safe and feels much safer.

Final Words Very good car. Not marketed properly. I book a car and hope they will deliver within 2 weeks time.i would suggest this car to every body who is planning to by a car, Really awesome.

Areas of improvement Need more servicing centres and service should be better. This car is not marketed properly, other ways this will be the number 1 car in india. I suggest every body to test drive this and feel the difference. Truely speaking the number 1 car in india.

Driving Comfort, milage and value for money. Really speaking number one car in india.Nothing except very few service centres.

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fine.

Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable.

Final Words Its a good car but main problem to be addresed is the maintenance after sales with easily available spares is very very important which thw Fiat co. is loosing the customers in todays world.

Areas of improvement In my sincere opinion the Fiat co. has to immedietly open its own service centers and see that the customers get satisfied maintenance service at a reasonable price including spares. The ground reality is very pathetic because I have personally suffered for want of perfect trouble shooting for the vehicle and time bound service at your sanathnager service center for my AC which was not giving the desired cooling even after twice serviced by the said service center.The spares are also costly comparatively and not available in the stores due to which the the delivery of the vehicles is delayed.The TATA MOTORS are giving second grade treatment to FIAT customers and not providing the best service and promoting their own vehicles.

Good value for money.Very bad service after the sale.Spares costly and not easily available.

Exterior Its the best looking car in its segment, Italian beauty crafted for India. Quality of Material like doors, bonut you just check it, You will feel the difference

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)- Interiors are good, good space, Quality of Material used is too good. 5 People can sit comfortably and has got one of the highest in class boot space.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox- Engine is too good, doesn't make much noise, its the global award winning engine, gives very good mileage even in the city I am getting 18Km/Lt sometimes. The best thing is that You can drive this car with the speed of 20Km/Hr even in 4th gear, so no need to change the gear frequently.

 

Ride Quality & Handling- Its excellent, you will never feel that you are driving diesel car but the controls like indicators and all are in left hand which take some time to adjust.

 

Final Words- Best value for Money car, Its seems very costlier but believe me its worth.

 

Areas of improvement- Not yet may be they can give some more feature like keyless entry in active but its on not much concern as you can put it from anywhere else just in 2500 Rs, so not a big deal.

 

 

Look, Interiors, Space and Comfort, Driving exp, Mileage, Quality of Material usedNo such cons yet

Exterior aero dynamic looks exterior is really awesome i like that.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) space is good but plastic parts look lil cheap.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox engine performance is really good no noise in diesel engine. average is up to the mark initially it gives 20kmpl. gear shifting is very smooth power stearing is also good

 

Ride Quality & Handling i really enjoy the driving. handling is good.

 

Final Words i already have figo diesel from last 3 years it runs 1,50,000 km in 3 years i m very happy with figo also now i have purchased punto diesel because i need heavy car. with tough body with good milage punto is my 1st choice among all the diesel hatch back available in market. i think i hv made no mistake. so i happy with my decesion. and dealer gives the best discounts.

 

Areas of improvement  Fiat people need to improve their marketing they have to learn sum thing from huyndai peoples. Fiat is a good brand they have good performance car specially in diesel i dont know abt petrol version. if they do a good markiting for thier product they will get good response from market. dont realy on tata peoples. make ur own marketing channels and more service centre as per requirment.

Exterior It is a beautiful car, but the front is little nosy. Overall, the shape is good looking.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Beautiful and sober interiors, lots of space and extremely comfortable car. Though, does not have flashy interiors and features but soothes you when you get in with its eye friendly built from inside. Also the seating is so comfortable and spacious, you never find problem for leg room or accomodation.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is excellent and quiet, very efficient and powerful for the capacity, fuel economy is OK around 15-17 kms/l in city and 20 km/l on highway, but now after driving it for 20,000 kms, it has started giving me mileage of 19-20 km/l

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality, steering control is a litle harder as compared to other cars in segment. But driving of highways is a dream come true experience. The vehicle is so smooth to drive and so much in control.

Final Words Except for the fear that there are not enough service outlets for this product, the vehicle is beautiful to drive.

Areas of improvement Proper service outlets should be available in more cities.

Robust built, Excellent space, Smooth Drive, Soothing interiorsUnavailability of proper after sales service outlets, Hard steering

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

do u wish shal i say need to explian????? hah just mindblowing engine MJD woooooow. Feeling like driving petrol car. ceen the same engine in almost 13 other cars as swift, uva, dzire, sail, indica, ritz, manza, but no one can b close evn in the terms of reliability performance and avry ting.

Run 3500 kms still btu engine feels like butter..owsm sound of engine n ya pick up is less some what till u reach 2nd gear but then u nvr fell that u driving diesel car.. top speed is around 165 kmph some what less then others due to 200 kgs of extra weight but it gives owsm safety & stability solid built car. u vl nvr feel high speed in punto due to weight evn on 150 kmph it seems like as 120 kmph...owsm performance.

it olso uses fully synthetic oil Petronas 5W40 so no wory @ oll how evr u drive car . oil change interval is 15000 kms so peace of mind n evn 1st service at 15 k kms cmprd to maruti as 3 services done in 10 k kms only.

Now abt fuel economy...juj amaging...gives me 19.8 when i rode it arnd 120 kmph and 20.7 @ 100kmph & 23-25 kmpl @ 80 kmph.

gear box is smooth & owsm positive engages gear feels same as smooth and precise as of maruti cars. just changing gears @ 2500 rpm for first 2000 kms & nw at 3000 rpm feeling better nw  

Ride Quality & Handling

 It uses hydrolic steering cmprd electronics as of others but it wins over olll cars in segments in terms of steering response & handling. feels like driving sedan instead of hatchbak due to long wheel base and design

It comes with FIAT"s legendery suspension that nvr let u feel any patholes on the road...juj mindblowing...cnt comprd with worst ride quality of other cars as of swift ritz, indica, even i20...no 1 can match ride and handling of marvelous PUNTO...

u will nvr tired & fatiuge of driving punto ...just searching reason to ride punto lollllz.

Final Words

if u need car that looks owsm, best in engine technology, ride and handling , most imp safety as it comes with 5star safety grade,  best soulmate 4 nxt 7 or 10 yearrs then close ur eyes ang get punto 2day..u vl nvr regret but ya ur surroundin ppl will regret that they nt having it.

Areas of improvement  

 Fiat should teach other car manufacuters that how to build such owsm cars for their improvemnts......lol

 

Superb Riding & comfort, World class engine technology, Solid built, high speed stability,suspensionnothing even single one ...........

Exterior No words to european design. GRAAAAND. Thats it, A spoiler should b adding more look. fm rado antinna is ogood not the excellent one.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Enough space,but bottile storage spaces is not for the indian conditions,sterio without aux and usb is a junk. No excuse fiat. This is embarassing....not fit for a european legend.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Continuously I got 22-25 with ac 25-29 without ac.gearbox shift,through is excellent.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent, in this segment no one claims better than punto, I challenged if u raise a second opinion. abs onwards from the base model diesel, awesome performance.

Final Words Value for money. International standards for the indian maango people(aam aadmi).

Areas of improvement In noon time ac needs a little bit more. Sterio with aux and usb, bottile storages for indian conditions. Service availability is not big problem for mine. Most of the kerala districts have fiat exclusive service outlets. I suggesting to all car lovers who need the thrilling experiences from the road. Wait for punto 2014. May our expectations come true.

Suprb..done 12000 with in 3 monts.no words...thrilling....Lack of storage space,bottiles holders,sterio without aux usb
