Review after my first 5000 KM

 

Exterior Car looks superub, stylish and state of the art. Colours are great. Should have slightly bigger spoiler.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is state of the art except the out dated music system. It can't even interface with an iPOD, what a shame. Interior space and comfort is good.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance and gear handling is spot less. It is more than world class and no doubt it is a best disel engine in the world. Gear shift is too smooth. I get 15 KMPL in the city and 19.5 KMPL on the Highway.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is great except the extra long turning radius, but for the car of this length, who can avoid it. Ride and handling is simply world class. It gives you a feel of a european car.

 

Final Words Grande Punto is a car one must prefer if he is looking for a VFM Disel Hatch, it is un beatable and top class diesel hatch. It lloks superb, runs superb, low maintenance, very relaxed service intervals, low cost spares. Last but not least, Punto is a Farari design. Look at the bonet cut, it just resembles the ferrari style.

 

Areas of improvement I would have loved to drive little bit high powered (1.5L) Disel engine instead of this 1249 in Punto. Car is bit over priced, Emotion should cost 6L on road, it will beat Fabia, Vista. Micra and Figo in all aspects.
