    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    My advice is NEVER buy this car. It is made of poor quality materials. Only the looks and engine performance (on highways only) are good. All other stuff used are products of TATA or purchased from China, it seems. I had to visit service centre six more times within the six month period I purchased a Fiat Punto Active Diesel from Mohandas Fiat, Kazhakkoottom, Thiruvananthapuram.

    My agony started just after a week Ipurchased the vehicle. First, the roof light went out. I had to drive upto Vazhayila service centre to check and fix the fault which they did after a few hours waiting. Then, after a few weeks, the battery drained completely, making it impossible to start the car. Had to take the vehicle to the service station second time in the first month. They filled distilled water in the battery and gave my vehicle after charging the battery.

    Then after a month, the same happened again. This time, they charged Rs, 250 for attending the vehicle at home. Then again, after a month, it got drained. I demanded a replacement which they failed to execute. Instead they provided me with an old service battery which still adorns my vehicle.

    Now, for the last two days, the vehicle is at their workshop. This time, its drive shaft has broken. They say they are trying to take the broken piece out from the driver side wheel. The overall feeling I get is I bought a second hand vehicle.  I'm thinking about suing them.

    Good styleOverall performance
