    Let me start by saying that this is a car for ppl who go beyond "kitna deti hai" and "Itna mehenga??". Please DO NOT buy this car if you calculate the fuel price even before starting towards your destination. Please DO NOT buy this car if you think that you will take this car to service center often. Seriously fiat gives you a service interval of 3 months and then straight to 1 year, which other manufacturer gives you that? FIAT is discouraging users from coming to service center often (because of whatever TATA-FIAT JV issue), and they have got a product to help them out too. You will not have to go to service center unless you have banged this car. When you go for your regular servicing i doubt you treat it as a family outing. You go there, register your complaints and drop the car, collect it when they inform you, check for the problem and give it back to them if you are not satisfied. Thats about the after sales service (Again NOT for ppl who expect plush lounges with cute girls asking you for a drink).

    You should go for this car if you want pure driving pleasure, road hugging high speed runs, sporty mode (read Gear #5), and a lot of head turns. Please admit it this is one sexy looking hatchback and the same design runs in italy, brazil, argentina or where ever (check Youtube if you don't believe me). Agreed the interior is very very plain but thats the fun guys, no clutters, everything within your reach. I have heard reviews about cheap plastics, i have a question for those guys which car has good quality plastics in the price range? You want wood finish and good quality carbon fiber grade plastic go buy a BMW or something. Punto is meant only and only for driver's comfort and nothing else.

    For all those ppl who are inclined to buy this car i would advise them to get out somewhere alone and ask yourself if you want this car. You will know the answer then. I am a proud owner of this car (+1.5 year) and i am throughly loving it(read smile on my face driving it). The reason i am writing this review today is that my best friend got a new punto today and surprised me. Its then i realized that this car is only for ppl who go beyond the normal "chalta hai"!!!!

     

    Sturdy build, ride quality, looks sexy, 1.4L engine, torquePlain interiors, Fuel economy (not that bad though)
