FIAT Grande Punto MJD a VFM

Great Choice Santosh!

Check the correct price at the carwale research section. AFAIK, they are still offering extended warranty and RSA free. Though insurance is not free anymore.

In Mumbai you can get the following as freebies - 

1.Mats

2.Mud flaps

3.Sunfilm

4.Maybe anti rust coating/teflon coating if you are lucky

All the best

Congratulations on your new buy and drive safe

i agree to some of the comments in this thread .. There is no point in repeating stuff that you would already find in this forum anyways .. Just a search away ....

Well... Sharing on my experience .. Bought a 1.3L MJD Emotion - Hip Hop Black and by the first look or it .. This is Beautiful!!!!!

Unfortunately I could manage a drive to Big Banayan tree on Mysore road and couldn't take my ride to a long drive and its been a month now ...

It is giving me close to 14 kmpl within city limits (on hosur road) .. People from bangalore will be able to understand what a mess it is to drive on hosur road .. but then overall I am very much satisfied with the performace .. I am a new driver too .... so its a great feeling to own a punto .. 

Please have a look at my thread and will expect some suggestions for accessories for my punto ...

Hi Fri

Friends,

Thank you all for sharing all your reviews and experience. Let us make this thread rich for PUNTO Attributes.

I had just complete SECOND service of my PUNTO MJD. Surprisingly, second service costed me only Just Rs. 4523.00. The break up ;

• Oil Filter              Rs. 329.78
• Fuel Filter            Rs. 1750.22
• WIREMESH filter   Rs. 39.11
• Engine OIL          Rs. 1735.10
• Wheel Weight     Rs.  68.00
• Standard Checks  Rs. 100.00
• VAT @12.5%       Rs. 490.28
• Service Tax         Rs. 10.00
• Total                  Rs. 4523.00

I gave my car at 11 A.m at BUB PUNE, and they returned my car at 3 P.M. The decision taken a year back for this beauty is really paying me up now. I a complete year on maintenace I had spent just Rs. 5153 ( 1st Service Rs. 630 and 2nd Rs.4523).

In many of the forum , people complaint about PUNTO service, perfomance, Interiors, engine tune etc etc. But really are those people had a real experience with PUNTo . Obvisouly NO. No.No...... We Indian citizens go for what we listen , not by what we experience or see. ...........

In many of the Threads people had talked about the bad performance of PUNTo, Its interiors, Turbo lags...etc etc.... As i said earlier all of them they don't have personal experience of PUNTO or they just give their view having mere One test drive or reviews given by auto Magazines  ( all are biased towards one brand)....   I just want to share my Experience of my PUNTO and let us understand the  attributes of PUNTO>........

ENGINE PERFOMANCE:

·       With 76 PS of POWER and 197NM Torque, It was never hard for me to overtake any of the big sedans. 

·      Very easy to drive in city, TURBO charger is activated after 2200 RPM , which make the city driving easy and comfortable , mainly in bumper to bumper traffic.

·      PUNTO goes smooth in city even at less than 40 KMPH in 4th  gear.

·      I had clocked 160 KMPH and PUNTO never gave up and asking for more from me , but I decided to slow down thought It is better to reach home safely.

INTERIORS :

·      There is lot of space in PUNTO. things are placed evenly.

·      Refreshing DASH BOARD.

·      MUSIC Systems is good, but needs some up gradation in SPEAKERS.

Some of the PICS of the INTERIORS

Now the Best and the UNIQUE feature which is not their in any of the INDIAN HATCHBACK " Rear AC VenT"
