Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 MJD 10,000km review

Exterior:

No doubt, this is the best looking car now available.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort):

Very good interiors, comfortable and rich looking. Never faced any of the often repeated complaints of poor plastic quality. Has lot of features second only to i20 Asta.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox:

Very good performance with in the city and terrific on the highway. The car really comes to its own at speeds above 50 kmph. Superb stability that inspires confidence on straights and winding corners. Very good fuel economy - I regularly get over 17 kmpl in normal city drive and over 20 kmpl on highways all with AC on 100% of the time.

Ride Quality & Handling:

With out doubt this has the best ride quality and handling available in vehicles below Rs. 10 Lakh. Very stable and very comfortable over good and bad roads. Ride quality is comparable to what you would get on a Toyota Corolla or Skoda Laura. Handling is precise, you know what exactly the tyres are upto in all road conditions.

Final Words:

One of the best vehicle I have driven, good value for money and highly recommended.

Areas of improvement:

Increase the number of service centers.

Excellent driving comfort, very good fuel economyA little waiting time for some spares
