Car to Buy

Exterior

Any one who see the car will say WOW... what a design!!!

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Dash board features are good compare to any other vehicle in the segment. Space is also excellent if the person is not 6 feet height. Suspension is like anything you will not feel the bumpy ride either in front seat/rear seat.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

10 days back i bought 1.3 active multijet diesel model and went to home town from chennai to ongole. I got around 20.3 kmpl on highway without any services. (Which car will give this much mileage?). If you cross the speed of 70kmph then you won't feel that you are driving dielsel car and the power is Awesome and you have any noise from engine. what else is a car required on high way.

Ride Quality & Handling

Yes, now let me tell you about the controle and stability on highway.. If the car is running with speed of 120kmph, you will not feel anything like it is running on 120kmph. you can controle it with very ease.

Final Words

Dear friends, I know how difficult to decide and buy a new car.. It was happend to me also. i was reading the reviews like anything before going to punto.. I checked the cars like Swift, figo, vista quadrajet and punto 1.3 multijet. I would like to suggest those who want to buy a car with diesel variant check the below points which checked in all the above cars. Check Design, Built quality (I can bet, no other is car stronger than Punto. I would request to press any part of the swift body, with out stress the body <metal sheet> will go inside and do the same with punto??? ), driving Comfort, boot space, Interior quality.. (Once again Check with each and every part of the plastics used in punto and with cars mentioned above. Yourself can find answer.. I would like suggest to check the gear box setup and door plastics, seat plastics etc..).

Normally people always says maruthi is the best, but If you ask me maruthi last (sorry guys those who are maruthi lovers) with out any facilities they are selling the cars.. I would suggest the car buyers just go and see the cars available in the market and check the features and offers offering by other manufacturers and decide to buy the car. For example i got the punto 1.3 active multijet for Rs 5.56 lacs including offers like, corporate offer 12000, Insurance free for around 16000, Extended warranty worth Rs 5000. Any other manufacturer is giving these things?????

Its really a value for money car... Only thing is you should think that TATA FIAT service. If you are staying in metro city then you can forget this also?
