फिएट पुंटो ईवीओ यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Car is nice in handling, 19-21 kmpl Average on highway and 12-14 in city traffic. using my cousin car from last month. Pickup is good. I am hearing that fiat has been stopped manufacturing all cars except Jeep compass and he already stopped making engines for all Indian car manufacturers like Maruti. It is very sad to hear that fiat always do this in india. he develops and wins hearts then he does not survive through showroom sale and finally he stops giving service in India and run away from market dramatically from the market without confirming tonits exist customers. fiat did cheatable behaviour that is the reason people does not buy fiat cars in India. Fiat cars are best in manufacturing, on-road it lasts a lot of kilometres but when someone needs spare parts and service they run away and does not have any retail store in India. They sell through 99rpm website and they are rude. They do not have any customer care number for spare parts availability. They cheat the customer and takes the price as they desire. Overhaul fiat products are nice but their cheating behaviour gives zero remarks in India. Inlove fiat product but very very disappointed to hear that again they closed to give spares and service and no car model and products under 10 lacs will be produced in India.

No maintenance never went to mechanic. Always use AMSOIL Signature series oil. Great milage because of that oil. Nobody mess with Punto on highway, that's what confidence it gives to rider. A Sports car for Big boys. Tank like build quality. Those compromise safety over little milage go to suzuki.

Exterior Exterior looks and design is very good and excellent build quality.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good looking dash board and features are very nice and useful, space is very comfortable especially rear seat passengers can have enough legroom. automatic climate control a.c is working fine.

Only I thing I did not like is,  less  space for  keeping accessories and bottle holders space on front door also very congested. Need to improve plastic quality like a.c vent grills, fuel lid cap etc.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is good @20 kmpl on highways and 15-16 kmpl in city. Very good and proven engine, less noice in cabin.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good control on vehicle at sharp turnings and wont feel tired in long journeys. Comfortable ride on bumpy roads.

Final Words Very good car, excellent build quality and ground clrarence, value for money.

Areas of improvement Need to improve space for keeping accessories and front door bottle holders, need to improve the quality of plastics like fuel lid cap etc, Surprisingly I did not receive any message/call from fiat india, so far in 3 months, to welcome/convey greetings on becoming their customer and to enquire about product and service/dealer support.

Some of the fiat owners having service related issues with their dealers, fiat india need to solve these issues to build confidence in customers.

Previously I owned maruti product, the moment I purchased it, I used get lot messages and calls from maruti and their dealers regarding product and service related enquiries.

good ground clearence and solid build qualityspace to keep accessories is very less

Exterior

 Color i choosed was Red Wine. Its Beautiful when it was delivered. Lot of chromes but not a issuse when you drive the beautiful machine.

Diffrent Style. sometimes i think may be from back looks like a indica. But once i stop and i will check the back, ok it differs.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 For me its look nice. Dash board is better. That's it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Same engine(Not now) as in swift. But the space where i can go 170 kmpr in swift can do 160 kmpr in this machine, Because of Solid body. You can trust it on high speed unlike swift.

my average speed is 120 and my average KMPL(Diesel) is 18. And Smooth Gearbox.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Best in this Segment. I ride mostly in Highways. To cut the Trucks,Buses and other cars with this machine is better than any other cars in this segment because of hydraulic power steering.

Cornering also best. But it can't beat my ESTEEM. 

Final Words

 I am travelling from Hyderabad to Trichy(1800 kms up and down) monthly. I test drive lot of cars(5-8 lacs) for my need. Finally i picked this one. And am satisfied.

Valentino Rossi's😎 Sponsers(once) never fails like him.

Areas of improvement  

 Fiat is the only company,producing machines for riders. Please don't change your mind for any reason. And don't change HPS, because i don't want my son to ride without fun.

Exterior Super build up quality, i think in Indian market this is the only safe hatchbacks compare to other cars in the same range. Anybody would like to be safe while driving any car and then comes everything else. So Punto is one which much safer compare to other cars.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) New Punto EVO has worked on all the drawbacks the old one had and have improved the Interiors, Comfort is the benchmark and is always there with Fiat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Maruti Suzuki's one of the most selling car is Swift and is only running in the market because of Fiat Engine. Maruti has tuned it better than Fiat however performance on Engine, Fuel Economy and Gear box does not change at all.

Ride Quality & Handling Anyone has to do a test drive on highway, Handling and Heavy weight of the Fiat Punto gives you luxury. Swift kerb weight is around 1000 kgs where as Punto its around 1300 kgs. Ofcourse swift has better pick up than Punto, apart from which Punto is step ahead in everything else.

Final Words I say do not just blindly follow what everyone says; everybody might not be right always. If you are looking at best drives always; then i suggest Fiat Cars only gives them.

Areas of improvement Fiat is improving its services and thats what they have to concentrate on.

Good Looks, Good body, Good featuresKnowledge about the Fiat to Consumer

This is about Punto Evo 1.2L Active

Exterior It has good the best looks in the segment. Period. Some might differ to my opinion and say i20 has the best design. I would say look at the back of i20 its un-original.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The features are good. I really like the speed limiter which is of very use nowadays.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very refined and its almost silent from 3rd gear onwards. I am getting around 15-16 on highways after initial 100km ride(it was 13 initially) and 10-13 in cities. This is excellent considering the AC was on 80 perc of the time and was at 2nd position. Though the gearbox feels rubbery and can make you feel like you might have put it in the wrong position(you might have, thats your problem not the car's) . But that all gonna happens only in the initial 100km ride or till the time you get the feel of the vehicle. Once you get that that it is the easiest gearbox slot gears into coz gears has less travelling time from the neutral position. And I felt this vehicle is easier to shift gears in comparison to the wagonR 1.0 my dad has. 

Ride Quality & Handling You might have already know that this is the best in class. And I can vouch for that. A 4.5 hr straight journey with just 2 stops with maximum five min rest and I still feel I can ride more. The driving is a pleasure in this vehicle. The steering feedback along with the fabulous suspension makes  the ride such a pleasure job.

Final Words You might feel this vehicle a bit underpowered if you are used to marutis. The pulling power on higher gears is something of a worry for me. Even then all other factors make up for that. I would strongly recommend this vehcile if you dont have money to buy the multijet.

Areas of improvement Need to improve the power.

Excellent style, Decent fuel consumption, Amazing ride quality, excellent steering feedbackLess Pulling at higher gears, feels sluggish at times comparing the competition.

Before buying this car, I have gone through the reviews by Carwale about this car and other car. I read TeamBHP review. Many review confused me to buy other cars. Finally I decided to buy this car. I am using this car from past 2 years.

Comfort: Ride quality is really very good. Steering is hydraulic, one feel car is attached to road.  Feedback is also very good, compare to other cars. Ground clearance is high, which helps in city roads with higher speed breakers, and rural place where there are no proper roads.

Inside there is enough place. Many time we 6 travelled. Compare to other car (Polo, Swift) one can easily make out the space inside the car and seating comfort.

Appearance and style: I liked the look and style.

Front indicators are outside the headlight, and rear indicators are top, which are really good feature to support safety.

Liked the side and front look, grill.

Pickup: Pickup in second and third gear is good. I have touched 160kmph on National Highways. Stability at 140kmph is awesome compare to any other known cars in this range.

Mileage: 20km per litre on Highways, 16.66kmpl in city.

Best Features: Ground Clearance 185mm, Steering Hydraulic, ergonomic, Space Inside, Build Quality. Headlights

Area of improvements Marketing, Advertisements, Brand Names.

Overall Experience: I liked the car, I have driven 30,000+km till today, compared with other car, Polo, Swift etc. Definitely I liked Fiat Punto, I suggest others also Punto.

Build Quality, Ground Clearance, Pickup, FuelNothing

Punto Evo Emotion 1.4 (petrol) is a good car overall. It is safe, sturdy, comfortable, and spacious. But its fuel economy is bad to say the least. It vehicle gives an average of ~10 kmpl in Gurgaon.

I would very strong recommend to stay away from Torque FIAT in Gurgaon. These guys are irresponsible, have little knowledge of the vehicle they are selling, and are extremely indifferent to you once you have made the purchase. After 4 months of purchase of the car, I have not been given the original remote controlled keys. They gave me my RC after 50 days! They are yet to give me extended warranty manual. I made three compalaints on FIAT India's website but they just made false promises.

It is important to understand that no matter how good the car is, you will have to deal with these people for annual service, or any other follow ups pertaining to the vehicle. And despite my good experience with the car, the harassment done by these guys at Torque FIAT is enough for me to repent my decision of buying FIAT. 

So I would suggest try out other competitive vehicles from other manufacturers such as Polo and Figo which provide you very similar set of features and pricing (their service may be expensive though). But these manufacturers definitely have better customer service than FIAT.
