Exterior Excellent unique styling ,Front Grill make its look so unique,Side mirrors and charecter line are stylish and nice ,Strong build body

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Front seaters feel like kings ,Ample space and the low seat position makes confortable and easy handling ,Rear seat 3 can seat comfortably ,well cant compare rear seat space with Jazz, but better than all other hatches.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Speaking about performance i ve almost covered 18K in 15months,Highway ride is much appreaciable .I m using the low ground clearance model it has awesome ground grip at high speed and breaking ,Had a very nice expirence of 165kmph in Bangalore Mysore Road with 5 adults with AC (Unfortunately a TJet Linea overtook me at that speed lol).

City milege is where i m bit confused ,I m getting 13-14max with AC (May be because of bangalore Traffic) .In highway drive from bangalore to Kannur i ve to cover 340Km ,Best i got was 20.8 (Combined road of 140km hills and state highway and 200 silk smooth road)

Bangalore to Mysore first 140km best milege was 24.2kmpl (Dont know how)

Gear box is cool ,Easy drive at low speed on lower gears .

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is so nice in highway and city, Nice breaking and Steer wheel.

Final Words Satisfaction is what we need after spending money and I am

Areas of improvement

 1) AC power need to be upgraded

 2) Service chanins ,Fiat should have Independent Service (Always a guest at Tata)

 3) Fiat need to improve the prmotion of car ,cos i would say this is the top class in the segment without any doubt but fiat cant catch the market upto the mark

 4) Speaker quality need to be improved (Figo ,VW and Hyundia stands up).

Pickup ,Milege,Style,Ride confortLess City Milege ,AC medium

Exterior Stunning looks. Good front fog lamps and not much satisfied with rear fog lamps. poor headlamps.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Great dashboard design. Seems like fiat used cheap plastics for interiors. very low power audio apeakers. expected more boot space. Chilling AC. headrests has to improved.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Drove 24000kms fuel economy: 14(in city chennai), 22-25(on Highways depends on speed). it is very hard to shift 1st to 2nd gear. Very bad pickup, initially it moves like bullacart. You may hear some sound while shifting gears.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb driving comfortability. you can drive constantly 500 kms without any break. no skid of tyres at 140kmph also. Low engine noise. 

Final Words If you are more concering about pickup, giveup the idea of buying punto. Am very satisfied with my punto.

Areas of improvement  pickup. and interiors. speaker power has to be increased.

Fuel economy, Brakes, exteriorPickup, interiors, Less back leg room, Headlights,

The best looking hatchbak in the country and eye catched in every angle, very sturdy vehicle and u feel u r inside a war tank fully secured inside this machine, brought tusccan wine and looks great ampls space inside the car can stretch ur legs and still have comfortable seating, no hassles in driving long distances, no need of frequent breaks good featured on the dash borrd, useful MID and electrical side view mirros adjustable is useful, door closing sounds give u a feel of some big car and looks big and heavy, overall a superb car no need to mention about the engine which is running almost all successful car in india, multijet is the word of the day and its proved time and again in swift, ritz, sail, vista, manza, linea etc, etc, gear is smooth and easy to change and no frequent gear changes are required at u can travel at 30 km/hr in 5th gear without lag, fuel economy as of now is 16 km/ltr average hope to improve after first servive but overall satisfied with FE. There none other car in this segment other than grande punto and the next best ride quality comes only in VW  polo is what i felt, riding and handing is just awesome and amazing u would love to take this beauty out on streeets and stretch to its limits but still it will never let u down. Satisfied with the buy and would recommend to all after all its FIAT.

USB and aux should be standard and basic in all variants.

Eye catching design, great handling and performance, superb space, excellent buyPls add aux and usb as these are basic features

Exterior

 Looks really stunning, even after driving this car for more than 4 years, I am still in love with it. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Not very Stylish, but the controls and the gear are pretty close by to operate.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine perofrmance has not gone thorugh any great change at all, during long drive, very comfortable, even while overtaking in 5th gear (on highways), it feels like butter.  Gear Box:  very smooth even now, infact one of my friend who knows car better has told me that the gear box and shifting is so smooth that it never felt like it has done more than 60k Kms.  Fuel efficieny:  I am getting 20 on highway and 15 on City traffic.

Ride Quality & Handling

 The moment you enter the vehicle, you feel that you are protected by a solid steel case.  Ride quality is awsome even now.  Very Stable and excellent breaking

Final Words

 Before taking the car 4 years back, i was told by most of my friends and relatives not to go for it as it is not POPULAR.  I went with my gut feeling and took the car, even now, i am proving every one wrong.  Good VFM

Areas of improvement  

 Interior Space, quality of Rubber beedings, disc breaks on all four wheels.

 

Steering Control, Stability at high Speed (over 130KM), Low Maintenance costReverse Lamp, Passenger Leg Room, Fuel Lid and Bonnet not closing well

Exterior Super, Like the style very much.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quality is ok, but should work more. interior plastics need to be better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent engine performanace and good milage. Approximately 20 km/litre. Not very noisy engine even though i am using diesel engine.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good. Number one car in india. Excellent driving comfort. This car is more safe and feels much safer.

Final Words Very good car. Not marketed properly. I book a car and hope they will deliver within 2 weeks time.i would suggest this car to every body who is planning to by a car, Really awesome.

Areas of improvement Need more servicing centres and service should be better. This car is not marketed properly, other ways this will be the number 1 car in india. I suggest every body to test drive this and feel the difference. Truely speaking the number 1 car in india.

Driving Comfort, milage and value for money. Really speaking number one car in india.Nothing except very few service centres.

Exterior

Just see it to feel it. Realy Grande in terms of looks

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Loved to be in car more often compared to swift

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 After 13k kms engine is now behaving butter smooth. overall great engine to drive. fuel economy is out standing even when drivven at 120 km/hr it gave 20 km/pl with ac on 1 mode. i have runned new engine in power mode so i think performance is great now.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Nothing can match ride quality and handling of punto. problem is you will never feel scared at higher speed as any speed wont make you feel that car is at triple digits due to its solid chasis. i think chasis demands some more power of abarth.😄

Final Words

 Must buy it as it is real value for money compared to all japanese, korean, french toys.

Areas of improvement  

 i wont comment on service part as i am getting preety decent service network Bhashkara Fiat at vadodara. i am preety much satisfied with them. only top speed is my concern as often i drove car at 150 km/hr but need some more speed say 200 km/hr considering solid built and chasis of punto.

 

Everythingless top speed. 165 km/hr.

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

Exterior Exterior number one car in the available market. Looks very stylish and you will be noticed and feel proud of a fiat punto owner. Head light is well positioned and rear side also look stylish.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is ok, but a little more care should be taken. Plastic quality should be improved. But still compared to other cars it is really value for money. The doors are really heavy and it is really a good comfort for long driving. Seat and steering well positioned.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Really the best engine in the current market. Not good for sudden pick up, but really good for long drive. It is giving a milage of 22 in highways and 17 in city. That is really good. Gear box is ok. Nothing particular.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good for long driving. There is no sudden pick up, but once it is in 4th and 5 th gear it really fly. a very good car for long driving. Road grip is very good. Freinds really the number one car in the available market.

Final Words Go for it, you will feel the difference.

Areas of improvement After sales service, Marketing.

This car is not marketed properly. Hope this will change as Fiat has opened there own service centres.

Good style and number one stylish car in the market. Good fuel economy, riding comfort.After sale service and marketing. Interior quality also should be taken care

Final Words.

Very good car in the sence of low Maintance , driving comfort , power ,fual economy . pic up and amazing unmached warrenty . and we getting very good service from Fiat owned sevice outlets ,earliear it was very poor from Tata out lets .I drive my Fiat more than 51000/- kms within 2 year span including including rough hill terrians of Utrakhand ( Delhi to Munsiyari and back with full load ) and very long jorneys to Odhisha etc , and now too no problems with my car . ony problem i found tyre life was very low (aprox 60,000) may be it was because of its heavy body weight and power full braking system . but it helps some other way like driving comfortability etc
