My Ride 1.2 Grande Punto

Exterior The built of car is like a tank. You can feel it. The crash star rating for Grande punto is 5 as per Euro NCAP. No need to add a Sports badge for imposing as a Sports car. Real racing DNA displayed from each side of the car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are the best. Seats have proper height with the perfect thigh support. You will not feel uneasy after driving for more than 14 hours in a stretch. This is for driver as well as for co-passengers too.

The rear seats are very spacious and comfortable. Nobody complained about cramps during long journeys is the real "Paisa Vasul". MID is the best in all hatch, gives all information about temp, error due to fused bulbs, exact door opening, lots more in the list of comforts provided in Grande Punto.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

1.2 Fire is the perfect engine for every days computation.

I have completed 45K kms in only 2 years of ownership.

Fuel economy is

City 14-16 kmpl with avg speed of 40kmph.

Highway 16-19 kmpl with avg speed of 120kmph.

Gear box is not so questionable too. Smooth.

Clutch plate replaced on 43K kms for Rs. 5800/-

This engine gives the perfect drivability for a real city & highway use.

Ride Quality & Handling Zero body roll with the speed of 80kmph. The stability on high speeds is true racing DNA. Ride quality of Grande Punto is the best in its class for sure. On high speeds the car is very stable. This gives driver a higher side of confidence.

Final Words Fiat grande punto 1.2 is the  perfect value for money car. The features you are getting in this car are not introduced in the rival cars yet.

Areas of improvement Earlier the service centers were the areas of improvement. But now day by day FIAT is opening service centers everywhere with services offering for not only Punto, Linea but also Palios, Sienna, etc. Fiat should to a proper advertise of their worldclass cars and the features given in the cars.
