Exterior Top class. it can be easily identified in a crowd. Also in my openion most of the vehicle either excel in the front or rear rarely both the ends. This is one vehicle which is attractive from all directions. The gap between panels are also flaw less.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is top class as long you use for 2 adults and 2 kids. I dont think it is ment for 4 adults. otherwise in cabin noice, vibration is much better that any contemporary vehicle. Plastic quality is also good. But may be the thickness of the back seat can be reduced or the luggage space could have been less so that there is a bit more leg space at the rear. Over all it is love at first sight
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is the best in class no doubt the poise at 120+ speed is compared to no other in its class. However the gear box has scope for betterment. Also being a european car the pedals are bit up front compared to japnese or korean vehicles. However once adjusted there is no complaint. I am getting 12 in city and 17 to 19 in high road and mind you the avj speed for a 400 Kms journey will be avove 70 i think it is really good. Also I have driven the vehicle for 40000 Kms I have only floored it 3 or 4 times. Still today after 18 months of driving my Punto I continue to enjoy it.
Ride Quality & Handling Compared to my earlier swift and i20 (petrol) this one gives me more freedom while driving be it stability, breaking etc...
Final Words After 18 months & 40000 Kms I am still in love infact I am planning to buy a second vehicle so that the life of Punto can be extended.
Areas of improvement Missing: Cruse control, Back seat space (even the seat can be made much leaner to add some extra mm), Head light can be better. Also Fiat need to inprove their Brand name with better support.
Looks, Vehicle stability, ease of driving, Turbo Kick and control.Back seat leg room, absence of stop/start & cruse control
