Decent experience so far

 

I am writing this feedback after having driven this car for almost 1200 Kms. I brought his Car home on 10th April. Needless to say that this is the most beautiful car in its segment. It was only question about performance and handling and whether to go for a Car whose service is done by Tatas.

 

Exterior As good as it gets. Only Volkswagen Polo comes near in terms of exteriors. Truly stylish.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I would say the only issue is with quality of plastics. Dashboard size gives you a feeling of Sedan. Infact very few low level Sedans have this size of Dashboard. Space is pretty good for front and rear. The best part of this Car is the suspension. I drove Swift, Figo and felt nothing comes close to Punto.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance is 76 BHP which is quite good. Infact I was buting 1.4 emotion but since it was stopped went ahead with 1.3 Dynamic as was not interested in 1.4 Emotion Pack. Fuel Economy is 13-14 KMPL in city. I drive from Powai to Goregaon daily and anyone in Mumbai will know the traffic conditions in this route. Gearbox is OK. I mean th ratio to speeds and gear is OK. Car Picks up from 3rd gear onwards and its almost linear. In 1.4 Emotion its not linear at all.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Thats the best part of this Car. A near perfect Ride Quality and Handling.

 

Final Words I followed my heart and bought this. Hopefully it should turn out to be a good decision in 3-5 years time as thats when you know everything.

 

Areas of improvement AC is quite average. Better Quality Plastics in Interiors. They look below average to be honest. I always believed Maruti has the worst interiors since I own 800 and Wagon R and Fiat has just done a little better on Plastic Quality. 

 

Exteriors, Good Ride Quality, Nice suspension, decent fuel economyaverage Interiors although Dashboard is the best in class, Average AC
