Exterior
I have actually no words to define this Italian babe's look. Just have a look at it. You won't be able to get your eyes off for few seconds. Perfect in length, good enough width , Aerodynamic shape are simply class apart.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
Car is one of the most comfortable cars in the segment, that is all you would expect from a premium hatchback.:) Large space for the front passengers, rear ac vents under the front seats.:)
Here, interior could have been better. Plastic quality, they have used and dual-tone dash board of black and silver colour personally I don't feel it to be loved, still not bad as well.Rear seat passengers have to sacrifice little bit to the space, managable enough :P
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
Engine is little noisy but once you shut down the windows, trust you will be isolated. You will not feel any vibrations or noise inside the cabin, unless you go for a high speed. It hasn't a class apart pickup due to heavy metal body but managable enough to get its place in the competition. Auto accelaration in 5th gear.;)
Ride Quality & Handling
On the highway it has no competition at all. She is going to give you the feel of sedan. You gonna feel everything is under control event at 150 kmph. No words to describe her on the shart turn. All credit goes to Hydraulic power Steering, "far better than the competition", unanimously accepted by each and every Autoshow channel.
Final Words
As Fiat says, "If you love driving, we are still ahead."

Exterior Good, solid built and of great style. Best in class.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good seat, dashboard and other interior materials looks premium. Interiors give spacious look and enough leg room for the backseaters. Riding comfort is extremely good.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good engine performance, noise insulation is good that you won't feel like you're driving a diesel car, Fuel economy is also good so far, am getting 18km/litre with fulltime A/C on on cities/highway combined.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is best, you would really enjoy if you're passionate about driving, especially the long drives.
Final Words I'm very pleased with my choice and would definitely advice everyone to go for it without a second thought as long as you have some service dealership around your location. Before buying this car, i'd always doubted on whether to go with Fiat because of the rumours around poor after sale support, unavailability or high cost for spare parts etc...however, i was finally drawn towards it after doing many research to find that the service costs are just normal (match with maruti) and most importantly, i didn't find any other hatchback except for POLO that could compete with the style, ridiing comfort and feeling of safety that Punto offered. Having said that, i must say that Fiat must really invest on improving their customer dealership as the sales person as well as the other associates who were trying to sell me this car seemed to had no clue about it and failed to answer many of the queries/doubts i had raised with them. I was eventually buying the car after doing couple of test drives and research on my own. My experience with the associates were not good especially post the purchase, because they usually don't pick up my call or follow up as promised. I have heard that their service centers have improved now and hope not to see any hassles when my car gets serviced. i had a chance to interact with some of the personnel in the workstation and they seem to know how to do their job; so some confidence in there. My car is still due for the first service; so will post once i get to experience the quality of how it gets serviced...:-)
Areas of improvement A/C can be improved, it is not good. When compared with Maruti and Figo, you feel like only the fan is working when running speed at 2. Stereo quality can also be improved. Addition of couple of bottle holders on the two rear doors would have been helpful. Engine power is not so great but still good as long as you're not going for any F1 championship race or something. It is pretty easy to drive in the cities just like any petrol cars and gets better on highways.

I had initially booked the Fiat Punto on the day of the launch itself but I have now cancelled the booking after a lot of unforeseen events that happened.
1.The Fiat Trade Certificate for punto wasnt ready with RTO for more than 20 days after the launch.The fiat and the dealer knew this and still they accepted bookings and didn't let their customers know about this.
2.At the delivery inspection, some of the parts of the Punto were really rusted and the Fiat guys its very normal.Whats more, Fiat has not even provided training to Tata service and they didnt know a thing about PDI.My vehicle passed the PDI wven when it had like 7 problems.
3.The rear window goes down only half and the internal beading on the door is pathetic.
4.So, now after all the features that the Fiat Punto promised , I am very scared of the quality of the features provided at a low cost.Just dont want to buy a hollow chunk of heavy steel with low grade parts inside.
5.The fuel economy of the MJD is real low since the weight of the car is higher and the car has wider tires.Also, the refinement is not as good as Maruti MJD.
And after a lot of deliberation with the Tata dealer, finally decided, Fiat has a long way to go before it can handle customers who buy cars in the range of 6-10 Rs lacs, the customer service is pathetic. Hyundai and Maruti really score 10/10 for me.
I really want to buy some piece of mind with maruti/fiat even if they are a bit costlier and Fiat is still in the experimenting stage with Punto.
They need to really pull up their socks.
Regards
Piyush

I Just wish to put these remarks to caution other buyers before buying a fiat. I heard it from many people that service standards of Tata and Fiat are poor but still bought this car as it had good features. I bought the car from Swan motors Sonipat on 7th july.Problem started with the delivery itself when they did not provide me the bill,that they eventually did when I had to talk to senior tata company managers, after 4 days. Worse still, they did not disclose the full scheme prevailing at the time and even did not give me the free gifts they committed while I was finalising the car. I also hear the stories that spare parts are normally not available for this car, and that the service staff are not fully trained. Given my harrowing experience with this company I just wish to warn my fellow car buyers to be doubly cautious before buying any car of this company.

Exterior Beautiful exteriors. Critical driver to impress a buyer.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best in space. Very good suspension.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
1. Underpowered engine. Should be ok for folks that doesnot drive beyond 135 km/h.
2. Poor mileage. Dont buy this car if u dont have NORMAL roads in ur area. I get hardly 7 - 8 kmpl.
3. I am not satisfied with Gearbox. It is little tough.
Ride Quality & Handling Sucks. I never know when I will crash on the vehicle going in front of me. Brakes go rigid in slow speeds. And Fiat knows the large number of complaints on this. I had 3 embarrassing situations within 2 weeks of purchase. My first drive with my family was a minor crash becos of brake failure. This is a fatal issue in this car.
Final Words This car has an under powered engine and has no adequate power required for "power brakes". and results in minor accidents in slow speeds, Every forum has a complaint on this variant. Still, no action seen from Fiat.
Areas of improvement Fiat MUST STOP THIS CAR, if they really want to save their brand, I am planning to switch to Punto Diesel which gives all that I get in the petrol version plus good mileage, better power and PROPER BRAKES.
Spacious, Good suspension, Nice exteriors and interiorsLousy brakes. Unpredictable brake performance in slow speeds

Dear All!
After a year's research, finally i bought FIAT PUNTO 1.3 Active (minimal grey).
Actually, my research started in december 2008 considering either palio 1.3 MJD or Swift VDI. I postponed my puchase to 2009. By that time, I got news that PUNTO and I20 diesel are going to be lauched. Again I postponed my purchase. After the launch of these vehicles, i kept myself busy in reading articles and user reviews for the first 6 months.
I finally zeroed down to VISTA LE or PUNTO 1.3Active. Both are in the same price range. (I have not considered maruti this time, as I am not impressed with the after sales service back up of maruti.)
Really it is tough to decide either vista or punto. Becos both are having equal plus and minus. Infact vista scores high in the cabin comfort, features etc., But the punto clearly emerged as our family choice when it comes to style and strong built body quality and neat paint finishes.
I got a good deal from CONCORDE CHENNAI, infact I have choice of colors like Black, Blue, Medium and minimal Grey. As my preferred color white is not available, i have selected minimal grey. But truly, all the available colors in punto are excellent.
The delivery process was very smooth and the executive completed his work in a smart way. We took delivery on 23rd as scheduled earlier.
Our first experience are as follows;
External looks: Beautiful
Internal : Comfortable for fron seats and could have been better for rear seats.
Performance: Classic
Build quality: Great
Plastics quality: Average only
The important information I would like to share with you all is that ACTIVE model is not equipped with central locking facility as on date, and the electrical warranty will be void if we install any other centrol locking arrangements. So far FIAT not approved any make for this. I really wonder why FIAT not considered this basic requirement, when they have gone for minute details like providing dead pedal, internally adjustable side mirrors etc.,
Except this out-dated arrangement of locking the doors, everything is above normal for the price we are paying.
Will update after some long drives in January 2010
Wish you all very safe & pleasent motoring

Second review on 25.01.10
Hi,
I took my punto for a pleasent trip to my hometown(200km from chennai).
After crossing tambaram city limits, i just want to show the power of my car to the scorpio (driving zig-zag) preceding me. I just shift down the gear and zooooooomed up, not only the scorpio, but also the other fellow cars in the highway astonished the displacement of my car. The scorpio tried upto 90km stretch in the highway NH45, able to cross me only when i have halted for a tea-break.
Real driving pleasure of PUNTO lies on the highway. The powerful response aligned with solid road grip(even in turns I was at 80kmph) and tired-less driving position, makes not only u alone the happy person, also the co-passengers. The most enjoyed is my daughter.
With very aggressive driving I got 15-16kmpl in diesel version.
Back-at-home, everybody loved the style of the car. And interestingly, the Motor Vehicle Inspector who did the registration, asked details about this car and wished me that my choice was best as on date.
I took 'n' number of test rides with all my friends and relatives there, as everybody couldn't resist the temptation of travelling in this car.
At the end of the day, I was very happy. All the mechanical means are subject to maintenance and related issues. Instead of fearing the possible problems, I have selected this car to satisfy my self than anything else. Ultimately our satisfaction is more important to us than anything else. Isn't it?

Exterior A very soild and robust built car. Excellent & very impressive looks. Wide tyres with alloy wheels.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very well designed interiors very convenient to use. Comes with lot of excellent features like Blue & Me which is a very well thought feature that makes your life easy while driving and attending your mobile calls. Tilt adjustable steering & height adjustable driving seat & a decent music system. Electrically adjustable side mirrors are very convenient to use.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 90BHP engine is very powerful and can zoom in high ways and even in city driving needs very min gear changes. Very silent and refined engine and smooth gear shifting all these features definitly makes this car driving a pleasure.
Ride Quality & Handling Takes on rough roads and handling is execllent. You really feel safe in this car even driving at high speeds.
Final Words Its a value for money and I strongly recommend to go for this beauty without any negative thoughts.
Areas of improvement Plastic quality of the dash board can stil be improved.
Excellent looks, Well finished interiors, Solid build QualitySpace at the rear little cramped
