ஃபியட் புண்டோ இவோ யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Buying experience was very smooth and Driving experience is very good and very smooth gear shifting. looks wise a vey decent compact family car and servicing and maintenance are very less compared to other brands of cars in the same segment

Exterior: I love the styling, i heard people complaining about usage of chrome, but i like it. Alloy wheels looks really great, it compliments the car style. it looks muscular from more than one angle. I have added Roof Rails, it looks so cool on it. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Features are good, options available on the instrument cluster are more than what i expected. but the press on the horn is a little hard for me. I really like the speed limiter option. 

Front row space & Comfort is just as you like it, when rear seats do not dissapoint you, a little more bench space would have been perfect, rear leg room is satisfactory. Boot is practical to use with good depth. I was able to fit in 4 full sized bags in it without any problem. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Its been only a week that i got this beauty, but i have already started liking the performance, Cannot comment on Fuel Economy as  i havent run good numbers yet. 

 

Ride Quality & Handling: The Best!!! (Justifying my title), i have Test Driven I20 Active, Ecosport before driving this one, this is the best, the confidence that you get over the corners and the steering feedback is just a class above. I am really not exaggerating, this steering has life in it :-). Ground clearance is very good.

 

 

Final Words: I heard people saying why Fiat, Delivery issues, service issues, less resale value, i was also skeptical before the test drive, but, after that i have booked it immediately. 

 

Areas of improvement : May be a little more engine refinement, to fix the turbo lag in the first two gears. 

 

 

Styling, Ride, Steering, Suspension, Music System, AC, InsulationRear bench Length ( another 5-10 cms would have made it perfect), Clutch play is too long

Exterior Exterior is Superb and design is awsom. It s stylis hatch back no doubt about it. You love it in first look only.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Its awsome design and dual colour interior but it has lack of family utilize. You cannt keep even important docs in bracket ,it is too small. You cant keep water bottle ,there is no provision of it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is little loudly but hence it is diesel car so it is but obvious. and gearbox is very smooth.

It has hydrodic power steering so you defanitly miss steering control. It has wheel alignment issues on every 2000km which is not good.

Ride Quality & Handling You cant handle the car if speed exceeds above 120km ,because steering vibrates.

Final Words Its is nice car in this budget ,you can enjoy its macho performance and stylish look.

Areas of improvement Hydrolic steering shld be more easy to handle, family utilities to be there in car. Wheel aligment issue is there.

Good Style and macho perforrmanceHydrolic Steering is not comfortable sometimes

Exterior Good. I like the overall design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good. The seatheight is adjustable. Good view from driver seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent. Gear shifting is easy and snooth.

Ride Quality & Handling I am mostly concerned with this feature. I have prior experience with 3 non-fiat vehicles. I purchased a linea in 2012 and I became addicted to fiat. I own a punto also now. Most of the features that are mainly advertised by vehicle manufactures are not as important as the ride quality and handling feature. In this aspect, fiat vehicles stand apart. The machine always remains under your control and behaves in the way you want. The confidence and predictabilty that the machine provides to a driver is simply excellent. This can only be experienced by driving and cannot be convyed easily to another person.

Final Words Those who are much concerned about a performing car in all aspects, I strongly recommend this car.

Areas of improvement NA.

Drive handlingSome more space for keeping valuables like Mobile phones, CDs, books etc is needed.

Excellent look, number one handling, rock solid at high speeds (clocked 175kmph), good mileage, value for money, most reliable engine, strong ac, good infotainment system.

Nice car milage should increase,some facility should add, pick up is nice,look for adding some good facilities such as abs, some of the automatic functions, for middle class family the car should enough ok. I think this review can be usefull for those who are buying second hand car fiet punto active good ok

I am driving this car for last 3 yrs, having Punto Evo Emotion. I had only good experiences from Punto, even service. Everyone are clear that its a great car to have, only doubted in service. As a customer will not say I only had goody goody experiences. Marikar Fiat, Kottayam Kerala from where I purchased were forced to shut down by Fiat as they had debt, with thm and they channelised lakhs(sm 50 lakhs)for other things which fiat gave for marketing and promotions. Later I called Fiat and got nearest other dealer in Kochi. They were not best but moderate like any other Maruti or Volkswagen showrooms. After major warranty I changed service to Kottayam Fiat service center which ws started by Old Fiat experienced technicians and Fiat fans.

For any doubts, problems, suggestions, parts I always had Fiat clubs, their fans and 99rpm site from where we can get online all genuine Fiat parts ,in case of delays. I can say service cost is not defenitely cheap like toyota which is around 5k. But not like Volkswagen which is generally 10k to 12k,but very much similar to a Maruti 7k to 8k.In some crashes car bumpers and doors didnt breaked like Maruti. Jst recovered the bents. Saved a lot like this where other cars rqrd replacements. Perfomance is great , as you require you can raise Punto to any level. It touces 140 with out hesitations and can go up to 185km per hr.its very safe and relaxed to drive bw 80 to 120. In this range I get about 19 to 20 kmpl in full AC at 22 degree C. In commuting gets about 16 to 17 kmpl as its Kerala. But my friends who are regular commuters get 18+kmpl. Its suspension is stable and will not make passengers feel the speed. My sister and Amma who drive it says the safe and shield feel that we get from Punto is such good(kreb weight 1200 kgs). Its not light like Liva but sufficiently tight for safe speeds. I Rated 5 stars because I don't know why Indians neglected such good cars and i dont like such attitudes. We need to get out of our general minds.

Select it without fear as Their Jeep is Now bestselling in segment and they are giving service to Mopar who are Fiat's International Sevice Team. If you are a little knowledgable. You can do it by yourself by purchasing frm 99rpm. Overall if i say, I needed a car which I can drive with fully settled mind anywhere in South India, just neglected 850 kg Maruti cars and cheap qualitied toyota where we pay near to 8 lakhs and gets nothing. While I ordered there were many rumours, critics but I prefered my mind over anyone. I And I am satisfied also.

Fiat cars is always my favorite.. My first car is Fiat Uno.. Then I bought punto... it's a very good car.. Solid body Heavy built quality. Handling of this car is ossom... Maintenance is very less. from last three years I did not spend a single penny on this car exclude Service... Overall very good car...

Riding experience: Drive is fantastic... Feels like driving a very stable car even at high speed.. The only problem is with the sloggy 2nd and 3rd gear...
Servicing and maintenance: This is the major issue with fiat cars... Even on repeated requests by many fiat users to enhance the service centers, Fiat fails to do it...
Pros and Cons: Fiat is all about the built and drive... No much interior space, not to talk about service..
