Fiat Punto [2011-2014] User Reviews

Exterior No one can challange Itly for their Automobile designers , nicely fabricated it could be more charming if they could have been fit total round head light.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) If I compare to My old Fiat palio that car is little congusted in terms of  lag space . but more better then other hatch back  AC grill are very loving things to me in this dash board. AC great , Mobile charger plug is not availalbe with all similer cars, audio Auto speed controller syncronus with speed.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Little noisy during low speed but  finest in highspeed .  fuel economy is also a attrecting thing.

Ride Quality & Handling It depends on your brand love & affection, with Fiat Logo at steering I always proud to be driver of Fiat Queen.

Final Words Such a great & loving car. In indian market all are copier of other like tata, Maruti "using Fiat engines" GM motor has also purchsed basic Multijet design from fiat.

Areas of improvement Fiat Must speedly spread their own service & sales center  atleast in big cities In western & Central india initially.

outstanding road GripService is not being provided properly .

Exterior Awesome dynamics. Its moulded like a aeroplane's front deck. It has got vry gud ground clearance.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Music player dosent have USB & AUX. Very big drawback. Coming to the leg room. You can enjoy the sedan-class interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox FIAT is the revolutioner in Diesel engines. It is the best. The only company which produces the diesel engines for all mode of transports.

Ride Quality & Handling Stuck to roads. Very stable @ high speeds.

Final Words This festive season, its really a gud pick. Only car with huge discounts, much better than all its competitiors. But dont go with the ABSOLUTE branding, just for stickering u have to shell out huge amt.

Areas of improvement Service network/workshops.

Availability of spares.

The new Fiat Punto 2012 shares its chiseled lines and muscular contours. This is augmented by its excellent driving dynamics and an elegant interior. This car takes great pleasure in springing pleasant surprises on you, like the My Car feature which lets you customise your car's settings, Blue&MeTM or automatic climate control. What's more, with oodles of space on the inside there is no compromising on your comfort either.

Its FIATTATA Service

Hello everyone, I purchased a Grande Punto three years ago and here is my review and experience of owning this car. I have driven about 45000 kms, car is trouble free, reasonable fuel economy but service costs have been higher than I had anticipated. Here is a run down on major costs:

"Free services" : about 15000/-

Paid service @ 45,000 kms: 35000/- (problems with suspension)

Battery changed at 40,000 kms: 6,900/-

Thats about Rs. 56,000/- over 45000 kms - Rs. 1.25 per km.

I generally get about 17 km/l in a mix of highway and city driving. At todays diesel price that is about 3.00/km plus 1.25 for maintenance. I wonder how this compares with other similar diesels.

The last time I gave it for service, it took the service station a week to return the car. Thats way too much especially when you live on the outskirts of city with poor public transport.  

I had evaluated all other diesels before buying this car and at that time I thought it scored well on all counts - looks, engine (except Fabia and Hyundai, all other cars in that segment had the same Fiat engine), acceptable price and good features. The only question mark was on service costs. I wonder if Rs. 1.25 per km is excessive or normal for a diesel. Appreciate if some experts comment on this issue.

Good looking car, stable at high speedsLimited rear view

Hello everyone, I purchased a Grande Punto three months ago and here is my review and experience of owning this car. I have driven about 6500 kms, car is trouble free, reasonable fuel economy. I have tested all cars in it's segment. Swift, figo, i-20 etc & its the only VFM vihicle.

Exterior Great looks, uncommon on road.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features like steering adjustment, driver seat height adjustmeent, auto down & up window for driver, rear wiper+washer, seat belt height adjustment, multifunctional display in such a low price perfect VFM. Trim parts fit n finish needs to improve

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox World class jet engine & proven & awarded engine. also comes with swift, vista, rio, ertiga, manza, dezire. Very good specially on highway even at a speed of 145km. sometimes feel low pic-up at start due to its overall weight

Ride Quality & Handling Best in class specially on highway. even at 100+ vehicle stability is very good.

Final Words Great looks, Lots of features, stability at such a great price.  Good VFM vehicle & its built like a tank.

Areas of improvement Trim parts fit & finish, Audio system, Turning radious.

Handling, built like a tank, good fuel economyvery bad audio

Exterior There is NO single car in India who get the attention for its look and feel like Punto. I'm driving Ford Figo, Polo and Punto but I ride and diriving comforts of this car is Unmatchable.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ride and Space in the car is too good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I don't have any complaints about its Engine Performance and Fuel Economy BUT YES Gearbox is a bit problematic as I had replaced the gear wire which got jammed and was very expensive.

Ride Quality & Handling Ultimate ride and handling. Very powerful and effective braking system. AC is best in its class. On a bumpy and broken roads, you won't feel the shocks. Bottom line is: YOU CAN FEEL THE COMFORTS IN THIS CAR COMPARABLE TO ANY BIS SEGMENTS CAR IN INDIA.

Final Words Its a very good car but the only problem is After sales and Services of Fiat is very poor. TATA workshops don't have their parts available all the times. If your car reqire any spare part, then it will become a headache for the customer.

Areas of improvement FIAT should NOT forget their customers after the sale of their car. They should oepn their workshops in all areas of India and make the spares available at low cost. I experienced the spare parts of this car too expensive if you able to find in any Workshop at one go :P.

Style and extremely comfortable rideSpares too expensive

Exterior Best in its class, Muscle body, 195/R15 Tyres for best grip and when I drive at 60Km/h+ in rain, the water drops appears to clime the wind sheld in a straight line.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Stuffed with features can't ask for more at this price tag. Rear seat need little more legs room.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I drove my 1.4 (90ps) emosion pack at a top speed of 178 Km/h with AC and 4 people on board. I took my foot off the padel because I can't handle more. Its a buity on cornering at high speed because of ABS & EDB and very sensitive. One can drive it 40km/h to 180km/h on fith gear, its good for city. In short its a drivers car. Though not impress with fuel economy, which is 10-11 in kolkata trafic and 14-15 onhighways(with AC).

Ride Quality & Handling At speed of 140+ no other hatch can compet with Handling & ride Quality.

Final Words Great Value for money.

Areas of improvement NA.

Looks& Build,Blue&Me,Stability & Handling at High Speed.Mileage, missing manual door Unlocking nob, Reversing

Exterior Its a personal choice. It appeals to me and brings a smile everytime I walk up to my car at the end of a tiring day... even after 2.5 years of owning this.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Decent interiors. Some of the new cars have better interior - esp colors,etc. Spacious front seats. Gives a BIG car feel. Rear seats are slightly cramped (if you have a huge physique).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Definitely the most trusted engine in INdia. It is being used in Maruti's Swift, Ritz, Dzire and Tata Indica Vista and Manza. Fiat scores full marks here. Gear Box is good. Slightly better than Swift

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good esp if you like driving heavy cars. It may not be the fastest off the block, It has been tuned with a decent economy: performance ratio

Final Words Even after driving 52000 km in 2.5 years, I feel this is the best car in this price bracket (5-6 lacs). Me and my wife go for long weekend drives and Punto has been just amazing. Already been to Coorg, Ooty, Chennai, Kanyakumari, Coimbatore, Hyd, Goa(multiple times) from Bangalore in this beauty. Its fun and just right for a family car.

Areas of improvement Ground clearance and turning radius needs improvement. Although I have heard that 2012 version has these improvements.

Smooth Ride quality, built qualityBig turning radius, reverse lamp

Exterior Looks like a king on the road !!! I own a Tusken Wine Emotion 1.3.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I would say best among the available HB.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is quite good, & it gives pleasure to drive inside the city as well. Fuel economy is not up to the mark (don't know exactly because my car still to undergo 1st service), however I got around 18 to 20 KMPL generally on the highway (w/o AC). Hope it improves further. Shifting gears is no problem!!!

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality & handling, one has to experience themselves, it cannot be explained!!!. Though most of my family members can drive the car, I always wnated to be on the driver seat !!! Stearing mounted control provide disturbance free driving... Already driven more then 5000 KM in just 4 months!!!

Final Words Value for money.

Areas of improvement Inital pickup with A/C & overall mileage... Because it is HB, many people going for this segment are still worried about the mileage & more obviously with the increasing fuel prices.
