ఫియట్ పుంటో [2011-2014] వినియోగదారుల రివ్యూలు

I have purchased my Punto 1.3 Emotion- white, 3 weeks back and have clocked around 1500 kms and feel i can give initial reactions and help out the prospective owners of the punto .

I was really fascinated by the good strong tank like build and after taking a test drive was really impressed with the suspension ,drive quality and comfort.

But FIAT history forced me to ponder over for 2 weeks and finally made up my mind on the belief that you should give this beauty a chance and that its creators would  have learnt the lessons.

The suspension is the best of the cars in same category and the drive comfort specifically in higher speeds is really great. But still driving in Bangalore traffic does not really strain you as the motor is responsive in low speeds in 3rd gear also. But there is a turbo lag which you will feel for a few days and will adjust to soon.

At higher speeds the car is amazingly stable and you feel very safe and secure at higher speeds also.

The fuel economy is decent ,though the car is still new iam getting around 14-15km/l in pedestrian Bangalore traffic. At higways ( only driven around 400Kms) i could get around 18-19 .km/l. definitely this should improve after the service.

The features of the car are also great with online fuel meter ,adjustable driver seat height, fog lamps etc  and the great Blaupunkt music system.

Though i did read in review of some niggles with interior quality ,i have not really faced any major issues.But there are some things like the beedings of door which some times slightly causes some discomfort.

The ground clearance is decent but with 3-4 passengers one feels a 3-4 mm additional height would have been welcome on the pot holed and "bumpy" bangalore roads.

The boot space is also decent enough for a small family and this was one reason i discarded the "ritz "though that car( diesel) launch had propelled my desire to change over from my small and practical alto.

I  feel that this car can be more enjoyed while driving in the highways than in the cities. 

 

strong & great looks,good suspension,good drive comfortslight niggles in interiors,little more ground clearance

 

Exterior Exterior is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) In the interior the quality of the material used for the Dash bord is of low quality, the black colour dosen't remain black after some days.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have purchased my PUNTO DIESEL in January 2010. My car was giving 18 kmpl for first year in city driving condition upto 15000 kms but after second servicing the average dropped to 15-16 kmpl. visited the service station three times but no use. they just clean the air filter & some exaust valve & say the problem will be solved. but again the same story. also ordered for the central locking kit from last six-eight months but still the matter is pending.

Ride Quality & Handling The riding in the car is very good.

Final Words I would like to have some reviews in the same matter from the users of the PUNTO DIESEL.

Areas of improvement FIAT must improve their after sales service.

Good Style, looks good on the roadPastic used is very bad quality. problem with fuel eficiency

Exterior

Strong, Wonderful and awesome.... Sleek and sporty.. Appealing and a mind blaster..

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Best features, space and comfort..

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Unmatched performance , good fuel economy and excellent and smooth transmission!

Ride Quality & Handling

 Best in quality and easy to handle.. Works like a joystick..

Final Words

 Very impressive in its segment! Car like a Punto is simply the Best!

Areas of improvement  

 If service for this car is no constraint then this car will beat up all other competitions around! Grande Punto after a JV with TATA's have been a market hit because people really know what Fiat has been and now what fiat is.. Build like a tank and runs like a cheetah but with great stability and economy.. Safety on high levels in this car makes it all the more commendable..

 Owning this car is a pride and driving a pleasure!

Performance, Comfort, Styling, Fuel EconomyDual tone dash

 

Exterior Looks g8 n sporty.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Cool interiors, more spaceious & comfort level is awesom!! both front seat are adjustable so no problem with space!!!

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gr8 performance, milage is g8 aprox 20 kmpl(in avg), on highway 24 kmpl and in trafic apx: 19-20 kmpl (depending upon trafic density),(one thing i don't know why others reports wrong abt milage of this car).

Must drive n feel the car contol n pic up also the locking system is cool only comes under the top models, sexy front n back look!!! and last n main point, this car is very storng than any car in same class or higher( execpt few ), fiat palio is one of the strongest one.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good !! Drive it to experience a no jerks. smooth drive. You can drive the car at 20 in your 3rd & 4th gear.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Awesome.

 

Final Words I Finally decided to write a review on my Finat Punto Grande Emotion Pack. Its really amazing!! The Tuscan wine color adds to the looks. All the features are simply very good and makes your car feel complete. The experience is also complete, when you drive the car...at around a 100Km/Hr. I have to convey one more thing. Fortune Motors have to improve their after sales support. I have had a pathetic experience. The Customer relation manager "A**" thinks he has all the bloody wisdom and thinks we are fools there to take our car for a review. Guys, if you have a problem with your car pulling to your left. Get your wheel alignment checked and ask him to swap the wheels (front). Should fix most of your problems 😊.

 

Areas of improvement Wheel Alignment is one area that Fiat should look at improving.

 

Amazing features, comfirt driving, good ecomony, good control over at high speedsLeft pull (but can be fixed.....Keep a regular check)

 

Exterior Excellent aesthetics (unmatched), a beauty to behold.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Not very great rear seating, front seats are very good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Average performance in city but very safe and stable on highways, higher fuel consumption over a period of time, tight gearshifts.

Ride Quality & Handling Bumpy rear seats while front suspensions are excellent, handling is very good on highways but a little tacky while driving in city conditions as gearshifts are tight in Active model.

Final Words An aesthetically great looking hatchback and good value for money.

Areas of improvement Improved rear seating, need for smoother gearshifts, central locking should be made available in Active model with appropriate price difference, improved gear ratio for city driving,  scope for 15 inch alloy wheels as a later addition or during first tyre change, better after sales service, availability of parts, need for exclusive Fiat sales and service stations, better marketing, scope for upgradations in existing models e.g. if an Active owner wishes to upgrade to Emotion version facilities (for a price), the same should be made available like gearbox, alloy wheels, music system, etc.

Great styling, good ride quality, good performance on highways, not very great fuel economyLess legroom in rear seats, hard gear shifts in Active model create problems during city driving

Exterior With its amazing looks Punto is the most stylish car in its segment.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The chrome/silver paint finish in the centre console adds a lot to overall interior looks, some of the plastics are of cheap quality like the one below steering wheel...it just keeps coming out all the time.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The best diesel in its segment, gives you the right amount of power when required..i have driven 25000 kms and i just keep liking it more everyday, i am getting 17kmpl overall mileage.

Ride Quality & Handling Very Stable Car possibly because of its overall weight and the suspension, you would not feel the potholes below.

Final Words Excellent Car for the money it comes in at, Best Diesel in its Segment, Most Stylish Hatch available in India

Areas of improvement Add USB on the basic variants also, Make sure that the Cup holders & Bottle holders are of some use, Tyres - time to rethink about original fitment tyres.

Stylish, Highly Stable, Adequately Powered, Good Fuel EconomyInterior Space, No USB / Aux in on Audio, Cup Holders & Bottle Holders of no use, Noisy Tyres

Exterior Super looks n build quality, Its a pure beauty.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Enough space, far better than swift, 1.3 active comes with inbuild music system and 2 power windows. Nice driving position and good boot space. None of all this comes in swift and one needs to pay 1lac extra as well.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel effeciency yet to be checked, have driven for 500kms in city and geting 16km/lit with 80% ac on. Gear box is as smooth as a maruti product and so it the clutch. Pick up will not be similar to vista quadrajet & swift as its a heavier body car but still it doesnt disappoints at all.

Ride Quality & Handling Just awesome.

Final Words Any one looking for a hatch in deisel should go for punto.

Fiat has long terms plans, dont go with the what crowd says and buys.

Areas of improvement Diat dealers need to improve furthur, so is for all car dealership exluding maruti to a limit. I will share my more inputs once i complete 5000km.

I have purchased Fiat Punto on 2014 Aug 29 from AV Motors Hyderabad, Telangana.From the very second day I have been complaning about the gear Nob Rattling Noise,3rd gear loss of power,supension & Streeing cloumn Noise.I have been to AV motors service center  19times to get the problem resovled,They have changed my struts & Struts Mounts twice but the problem still persist.So I have changed service center and started going to Butta Automotive Service center 11times even they have worked on same issues,They were able to fix gear Nob & 3rd gear issues(Which has taken 6months to be resloved) changed struts for 3times but the problem wasn't resolved.I also complained same issue to Fiat India for which they didn't respond intime.Finally they gave call back and said they are doing R&D on it so they will get back to me ASAP.that was in the month of April.Now its july so I called them back and asked about the solution they said R&D is still going & they dont have exact time frame.I am facing this issue from past a year.IF ANY ONE IS PLANNING TO BUY FIAT PLEASE THINK TWICE BECAUSE THEIR AFTER SALE SERVICES REALLY BAD, I WOULD RATHER SAY ITS WORST
