Fiat Punto [2011-2014] User Reviews

Exterior Good, solid built and of great style. Best in class.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good seat, dashboard and other interior materials looks premium. Interiors give spacious look and enough leg room for the backseaters. Riding comfort is extremely good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good engine performance, noise insulation is good that you won't feel like you're driving a diesel car, Fuel economy is also good so far, am getting 18km/litre with fulltime A/C on on cities/highway combined.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is best, you would really enjoy if you're passionate about driving, especially the long drives.

Final Words I'm very pleased with my choice and would definitely advice everyone to go for it without a second thought as long as you have some service dealership around your location. Before buying this car, i'd always doubted on whether to go with Fiat because of the rumours around poor after sale support, unavailability or high cost for spare parts etc...however, i was finally drawn towards it after doing many research to find that the service costs are just normal (match with maruti) and most importantly, i didn't find any other hatchback except for POLO that could compete with the style, ridiing comfort and feeling of safety that Punto offered. Having said that, i must say that Fiat must really invest on improving their customer dealership as the sales person as well as the other associates who were trying to sell me this car seemed to had no clue about it and failed to answer many of the queries/doubts i had raised with them. I was eventually buying the car after doing couple of test drives and research on my own. My experience with the associates were not good especially post the purchase, because they usually don't pick up my call or follow up as promised. I have heard that their service centers have improved now and hope not to see any hassles when my car gets serviced. i had a chance to interact with some of the personnel in the workstation and they seem to know how to do their job; so some confidence in there. My car is still due for the first service; so will post once i get to experience the quality of how it gets serviced...:-)

Areas of improvement A/C can be improved, it is not good. When compared with Maruti and Figo, you feel like only the fan is working when running speed at 2. Stereo quality can also be improved. Addition of couple of bottle holders on the two rear doors would have been helpful. Engine power is not so great but still good as long as you're not going for any F1 championship race or something. It is pretty easy to drive in the cities just like any petrol cars and gets better on highways.
