Go for Fiat Punto 2012. It has got the very good Interior Quality, Best-in-class Ride Quality, great Fit Finish and many more. I think Renault Pulse is just a sportier Micra.

Thanks Saharsh..Should I go for Punto 1.3 Dynamic or 1.3 Emotion..too much in price difference.

What you feel on the 2011 model of Punto 1.3 as they still do have stock of the same.

If your Budget allows go for Emotion 1.3. 2012 Punto is way better then 2011 models.

Fiat Linea and Punto are the best handling cars in their respective segments. and it is a joy to use them on ghat roads.

Saharsh,

Could you post some pics of the new 2012 Punto, specially the interiors. I could not find it on internet.

Mohan,

Its always better to go for the newly launched model instead of the old one, so 2012 Punto should be your choice. But you must take a TD of Renault Pulse too before finalising. Its a very promising car too. I guess Pulse is lighter then Punto, so driving on ghat roads will be easier & less tiresome. Pulse is more FE too.

Good Luck

Mohan Ji,

You must try TD of Pulse.  In Pulse the missing part is ABS & in Punto ASS.

TATA / Fiat service depends on area wise,  so better check good service possibility for Punto in your area.   Even I must say,  you check the service center personally for both the car before purchasing.  

As per the time... Fiat running at 4 PM in India and Renault have fresh morning at 10 AM.  so better hope for Renault than Fiat.

Take Test drive with your family so that, if you missed some think they will remind you well on time & they understand rear seats comfert.

All the best.
