Comfort, Style and value for money

I bought my Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 Emotion Pack in Sept 2009. Since then I have driven the car for 76000kms till date and I would like to tell you all that the car still performs the same as it was on day one. Its a car made for those who have a passion for driving. Its safe, powerful, and comfortable. I'd say its value for every rupee you spend to buy this mean machine.

Exterior Car with a sporty and macho look

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Insufficient legroom for passengers in the rear seat. Comfort in the front seats is excellent. Very good lumbar support, you can drive this car continiously 3 to 4 hours without taking a break and you still wont feel exhausted. Sufficient space for luggage in the boot. Very good audio system with blue & me

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Smooth gearbox. Consistent performance since I bought the car, with a mileage of 16 to 17km/ltr in city and 18.5 on highways @ speeds exceeding 110km/hr and 21km/ltr on highways @ 80 to 90 km/hr speed

Ride Quality & Handling Great suspension, excellent road gripping and stability even @ 160km/hr. ABS with EBD gives you a safety at high speeds. The clutch lever is butter smooth, practically effortless and comfortable in city traffic.

Manuvering in bumper to bumper traffic is a tough job as the steering feels heavy with a big turning radius of 5.5mtrs. 

Final Words As said apart from a couple of cons the Fiat Grande Punto is stylish, comfortable and great value for money

Areas of improvement Committed dealership with More service centres and timely availability of consumables & spares at the service centres.

Improve the fit and finish of plastic components

Inbuilt reverse parking sensors with camera would be appreciated.

Proper placement of drivers seat height adjustment lever.
