Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 Active

Fiat grande punto active 1.2 review Hi. This happens to be my first review here. I was looking for a car in the 4 to 4.5 lac segment. My driving remains between 700 to 800 km per month, so a petrol hatch was what I was looking for. The obvious choices in this segment were : 1. Hyundai i10 2. Swift petrol 3. Hyundai Getz Prime 4. Ritz 5. Grande punto The Punto’s basic model (the 1.2 L Active) costs 4.25 L on road so I decided to check this out. The car looked very handsome on the outside. The shape is not too curvy like the Swift or the I10, or too sharp like the Getz. The lines are clean and neat, though I found the front grille a little too retro. Overall, I think I will still like this car five years later if I buy it. The suspension is out of the world. While most other cars I mentioned, offer plain Mcpherson struts with coil springs, this one has telescopic dampers too! I pressed down a little on the bonnet and viola! The car nodded like a baby! Spacewise, this one is even more airier than the Getz. In fact, its just a few cm smaller than 4 mts. Three people can sit very comfortably at the back. At the most basic model, this car provides things most other cars don’t. barring the central locking, which is not there in the 1.2 Active, I couldn’t find much reason to complain. It has front power windows, a decent hydraulic power steering, 60:40 folding seats and even the immobilizer! Wow! Built wise, it is very solid and feels so. My only concern is the engine output. At a mere 68 bhp, would it be able to sustain a joy ride six months down the line like it did when I test drove it?good style. good exterior, suspension,spacebad interiors, slow engine
