My experience with Fiat Punto 1.4 Emotion PK

 

This is one best car on the Indian roads. I was in love with this car when i saw it on the internet on its launch. I booked a test drive and i was highly convinced with the ride quality. In fact i was following this car from last one year and the user reviews on Car Wale.com. I find most of the people like this car. In the end i zeroed myself on Swift Zxi and Punto Emotion Pack. For a time i was bit confused between the two. Then i decide to take a look again on both the vehicle on same day. Zxi couldn't convince me as it look to me like Jugar kind of things in the car. (like the Auto AC Music System and Audio control on the steering wheels) and reverse to it seems like Punto is designed  for perfection. Each and everything in the car is well placed that u won't stop ur self saying "wow i want to own this"  

 

Exterior

  I must say highly aerodynamic good looking car. I like the way it looks from behind when its zipping on the highway. Electrically controlled ORVM are excellent when u look from out side. Actually when u see the car from behind i feel like this is the grace of the car. Alloys are the one which will make u to fall in love with the car. I read even from the expert from Car wale that they don't like the back of the car. I think they are just use to see the usual look from Suzuki or Hyundai. I feel car back is as good as the front.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interiors are mind blowing. Everything is just one click away. Thanks to Blue and ME feature. It made everything so easy that just push the microsoft button on the steering wheel and say what u want. Auto AC is very good. The music system is one which is from one of the best company. Seats are designed in such an efficient way that if u drive the car for 7 hrs u wont be feeling tired. Everything inside the car is designed for maximum comfort.    

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine is like you will feel in sports car. I promise you if u ride the car u will feel like u r dominating the road. I read from the expert from car wale in Road test segment that engine is little sluggish in less that 3000 rpm. I tell you there nothing like that. u simply switch on the car push the liver and u can touch 40 in first gear. Even if u r driving on 5 gear and speed comes less that 30 even then the ride is quite smooth, I never reported any jerks.

Ride Quality & Handling

Ride quality is excellent. Handling the car is very good. Its nice to drive in the city traffic as well as on the highways.

Final Words

Nice car to own.

Areas of improvement  

Nothing i can right now hope I will explore more of the car then I can say some thing on this segment.

After driving 4000 kms.

Guys car is really good. i have drove it 4000 kms and i am loving the ride quality. overall i am getting 15+ average on highway. the people who are actually feeling the power lag i have answer for them. guys drove the car for at least 1000 kms and seriously u won't again feel this prob if u feel so. i live in the state of himachal and i have gone to remote places in hp. i never felt the prob of power lagging. 

the stereo is quite good and amber light ( i have read that few people having prob with the amber color light)  is seriously very smooth for ur eyes.........like if u drove for whole night u won't feel any tickling in ur eyes ( this is tested fact). 

car picks the speed very smoothly and if u drive on the hill road u will get maximum accuracy with the steering wheel.

i have one suggestion for new buyers..............keep the air in the wheels properly.

read the user manual seriously or ask ur dealer for maximum input. u need to learn a lot abt he car's new interphase.

 

i welcome all the quires.    

 

 

 

Style, comfort, very high ride quality, highly aerodynamic and specially blue and me.bit less leg room for rear seat, no seat cover even on top model.( i think fiat should think)
