FIAT's Grande Punto

Best thing about the car is when people stop ogle at signal lights, people overtake and turn back to have second and third look. It has the killer looks. The Linea tag line Admiration guaranteed can as well be used for Punto. It is masculine without bring macho. Bought a Punto emotion model it is 1.4 L model with ABS.
Car is is beauty to drive very comfortable, the shock absorbers are made for Indian roads take almost any bump or pothole in it is stride without feeling to much. It is comfortable to drive ergonomically designed. It is solid the doors the boot and hood give solidity, not the thin gauge. Don't have to shift gears to often can be in third gear from 20 to 60 can start on second gear it does not shake and rattle like other cars. It is not a sprinter, 0- 15 kmph is slowly taken once you hit it really responds to accelerator changes. This protects the engine the max wear and tear is maximum between 0 and 20. This also helps in mil age.
FIAT has really has done a great job with eye for details. the comfortable steering wheel, with all the controls simple and easy to access. the trip button is a good innovation. give av speed mileage, instant consumption and av consumption. This you will have take with a pinch of salt, seems it is based on mathematical calculation.
Foldable car key is another nice feature. It is very convenient to keep the key with out projections. It has advances computer based engine disable security feature. You have a security code without which it cant be duplicated.
The car interiors are elegant with 2 colour grey and black. Seat are extremely comfortable with nice seat cover designed for Punto. There are spaces on doors to hold things, 2 dashboard pace holders with neat smooth curves without any jarring edges.
It can comfortably accommodate 5 adults. people often exclaim it is a big car inside. The boot space is huge. The Blaupunkt music system is great. Very clear and delight to listen to. Well it is Blaupunkt you so have to much to complain. It comes with 6 speakers all embedded in doors. The rear speakers are in the door to protect ears of people sitting behind. The boot space this way is not compromised. People would want a thunderous bass have to still buy a separate music system. Looks it is neat, no flashing lights may disappoint most Indians.
Exteriors the way people look at it is enough indicator. The sleek aerodynamic design is a delight for the eyes.The lights and indicators are new and unique again shows eye for details. The red color and the great fit and finish is simply great.
I am getting a mileage of 11-12 kmpl with mix with ac on for 40% of the time in dense peak hour traffic. This mileage is actual it is more than the indicated mileage.
Well cound any ting be better, not really FIAT has done a superb job of the vehicle. If I really want some better, The dials dials are neat and very practically, may be it could have been better, same thing with the music system.
Servicing FIAT has it own engineers and the TATA manages the sales and service, felt sales was as good as it could get from Prerana motors. Don't have to worry too much about servicing because recommend servicing is once in 15000 kms that is you have to go to service station may be once in 15 months, there is on call 24 hrs servicing.
Overall it is a awesome vehicle, extermly happy I choose it over other cars.
