    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior Its a very good exterior as a matter of design the look is quite contemporary, its a italian make car it matches its expectation of design

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I got the  base one  Punto Active1.3 that come with superb music system in built, really no match at all in the segment, company has not comprisemised in fact here I would say Fiat has  exceptionally done well.

    one thing I would like my reader to know the quality of

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I am not a competent enough to make any coment on worlds leading engine maker, superb is the only word that I may define, I have diesel engine but quite often people has asked if its diesel or petrol due to less sound and noise.

    In top gear car sticks to roads and gives you better control on roads as today most of the car has been euipped with high speed ability but no one cares about comfort and safet  in top gear but here this car has been well thought for that , as you feel very much as ease in top gear also,Braking for that matter is unmatched it feel like ABS although its base model doesnt come with  ABS as standard feature.

    Body materail is really -really very solid in this car as i can safely vouch for that as i met with severe accident with this car where a truck hit me from behind on highway, but god saved me although i was not wearing seat belt also but i felt that day, had there been any other car instead of Fiat i would have crushed in the car itself as my car was thrown in ditch form of 15 feet hight  and i was safe inside the car.

    I will really thanks Fiat for designign such wonderfull safe car for people.

    I bought this car in patna in Aug 2012 my friend were hisitant about my decision but those critics who drove my car didnt utter anything after driving my car here i will say its driving comfort has been excellant as was convinced my driver, we drove vehicle for 1000KM in 20 hour stercth and its definately with no doubt one of the best comfort in this segment.

    Gear Box here i will like to comment that i dont know why but i feel it hard comparing with other car in this range as i have already driven my car around 11000KM, so will like it to be more smoother.

    Performance- No problems.

    Mileage- I purchased this car on my gut feeling, and believe me it didnt cheated me, I took mileage test of my car after almost 15 month and that too on stetch of 828  km, I used tank full to tank full method and I got average of 19.88 with AC on that too in most of city driving. i will strongly support for this car.

    Ride Quality & Handling Its a joy drving this car and no doubt.

    Final Words Its great car with no second thought , pricing is wonderfull as you get many features at entry level itsef, Kudos to maker of the  this car.

    Areas of improvement I dont know why people are under estimating this car , having all the quality of becoming a hot selling car, Marketing drive  is needed to make people know the exact about the car.

    Mileage , comfort, look, music systemGear shifting should be bit smoother
