Little bit poor
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
World class engine. Diesel price is less compared to petrol therefore I dont bother about the price issue. Gear box is good,smooth in operation.
Ride Quality & Handling
Before I taken a decision, I had taken TD for Volsvogan Polo, Tata Manza, I 20, Chevrolet Aveo,
Honda Jazz,swift desire, ford fida, fabia and I feels the ride and handling of fiat punto is amazing.
Final Words
1) When maruti swift desire, Ritzs, swift , Manza is using the same engine of Fiat Punto, Punto cannot be bad car,isnt? I can say is always better to buy Fiat car having fiat engine, not a maruti car having fiat engine., are you agree guys?
2) Tire size of punto is 195 mm which is bigger than any car in this segment, it mean that there is bigger grip on road and therefore very safe in driving on road when compared to other one.
3) Ride and handling is super as compared to other car.
4) Kerb weight of Punto is bigger than swift desire. Whereas desire is sedan car and punto is hatbach car. The car having more body weight is less sensitive to road vibration and bigger life of body , I feels Punto has strong body than other car.
5) Looks: Punto is having superior look than any other car.
6) Fuel economy: I dont bother about fuel economy as I purchased diesel model and price of diesel is much less than petrol.
7) Interior : Its not too good but its ok for me because it dosnt matters for me.
8) CD player: Its not good , but it dosnt matters for me.
9) Cost of spare parts & servive: Cost of spare parts are same as of that swift desire and
fiat is having technical collabration with Tata , therefore I feels that servicing will be improved in future.

1) I think we Indian are typical mentality. Typical mentality is what is mean for me :
i) We Indian always follow the route which is alreday followed by some Indian and we follow this route blindly. Before I follow I thought that If I suffers on this route everybody will be suffered and I dont feels too bad.
But If I follows a different route alone and that route will ends to bad situation then everybody laugh at me and I dont want this situation.
Here what we miss is that: We dont judge the things according to ours requiremnet and blindly follows the route thats too bad.
So guys before you take decision of buying a car, take a TD, compare the price, list out what you realy want then take a decision but please dont follow blindly with Indian mentality, pls.
