Bought the car on 11 Nov 2009. Had to pay more price as FIAT has increased the prices on 6 Nov 2009.

Sold my 5 year old WagonR in October.

I wanted to buy a premuim hatch back . I wanted to buy Fabia. Somehow did not like the sound of the engine. Was told that it was having 3 cylinders and the sound is expected. Also read reviews about expensive maintenance. I dropped the idea.

Then I thought about i20. I liked the Asta ( Petrol ) and decided to buy. The on road price was 6.3 L. I liked the interiors and the drive. But, questioned myself about why I need to spend so much for the same engine ( 1.2 petrol engine same as i10 ).

Took TD of Punto petrol . Unable to decide to go for petrol or diesel. After lot of thinking , I decided to try diesel ( As already I had driven petrol vehicle ).  My delayed decision has costed me . Had I taken in October , I would have got the Putno cheaper by 11K. Also the interest rates were increased in Nov.

I drove 200 Kms in 2 days . Eupohoric now.

It's certainly a big car . 3 adult can easily sit in the back . My mother told that rear seatiing is good ( she is comparing with WagonR ) . She told me this when 3 adults sat in Punto.

There are lot of features in Emotion pack . While driving I can feel that I am driving a luxury car . The body is strong and I can feel the difference in driving a Maruti and FIAT.

Still checking the various features. Need to the Fuel efficiency.

For now I am euphoric.

Will update more after clocking atleast 1000 Kms.
