Hello,

  I need to buy a new car and I will be driving it for about 40 kms a day. Occasionally I will be taking it out for Intercity driving. With these parameters , I would like to know if its worth to go for Diesel cars.

I have liked Fiat Punto. I need to decide whether to go for Petrol or Diesel version.

Thanks for the help

If you like to go for petrol , go for 1.4 . But it has poor FE . In diesel you can get decent mileage. I personally feel that GP diesel would be better compare to its petrol version.

For your usege, diesel is a better option. Moreover Punto diesel is a better buy than petrol. Diesel Punto is more powerful and has good mileage compared to its petrol counterpart.

@ madhu,

as per ur usage a diesel car would be the most suitable to u as it will save u a lot on ur furl bills & running costs.

go only for the punto diesel as it is a great car with best ride qualities & great features. it looks superb & is sollidly build.

punto diesel is a better performer.

Madhu, I can give you my own experience that I & my son in law bought Punto Multijet last month, we are fully satisfied about that from everywhere.

Hi

Anything more than 13000KM a year requires a diesel.

Ur requirement fits the diesel engine

So go for the Punto diesel
