    DRIVING:
    Its my mate since ages

    Exterior Marvellous, mind boggling ; Such smooth curves. Looks beautiful from any angle

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent. Overtaking on the highways is a cakewalk. Even I used to show Punto's tail to even big SUVs, Honda city and other sedans on the highways. In city I get 11-12 KM/litre. On the highways achieved 16 KM/litre, on economic driving.

    Ride Quality & Handling Handling and ride quality is excellent. Top speed I have achieved 165 KM/hr on Durgapur Expressway. Believe me, in that high speed also there is no body roll. Punto gives the confidence to drive in high speed.Suspension is excellent.

    I would like to tell one small incident while driving. I was going from Ranchi to Kolkata via Muri, Purulia. Near Bankura, I got a sharp 90 deg. turn. It was somewhat illusive and I could not see it from a distance. I was driving at a speed of neary 90 KM/hr. Just a few yards away from the turn, when I realize it, I put full force on my brake pedal. The car swerved almost 180 deg. and stopped just on the verge of the road. My family was terrified. I was also speechless. Villagers came and told us that it is Maa Kali's kripa that we are alive. ( Nearby there is a temple of Maa Kali). They also told that it is a very accident prone area and frequent accidents take place.

    Yes of course it is Maa Kali's kripa that saved our life. At the same time it is punto that helped due to its stability. I am 100% sure any Maruti or Hyundai car would have toppled at that speed.

    Final Words If you can rise above the typical Indian mentality "Kitna deti hai" and if you really love your family and enjoy driving go for Punto because the level of safety Punto gives, no other car shall give that.

    Areas of improvement Rear tail light and reversing light position and style can be improved.

    Built quality, paint quality, comfortable & confident ridinginterior can be improved by providing more chrome in the dash board, steering wheel, AC vents, etc
