    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    do u wish shal i say need to explian????? hah just mindblowing engine MJD woooooow. Feeling like driving petrol car. ceen the same engine in almost 13 other cars as swift, uva, dzire, sail, indica, ritz, manza, but no one can b close evn in the terms of reliability performance and avry ting.

    Run 3500 kms still btu engine feels like butter..owsm sound of engine n ya pick up is less some what till u reach 2nd gear but then u nvr fell that u driving diesel car.. top speed is around 165 kmph some what less then others due to 200 kgs of extra weight but it gives owsm safety & stability solid built car. u vl nvr feel high speed in punto due to weight evn on 150 kmph it seems like as 120 kmph...owsm performance.

    it olso uses fully synthetic oil Petronas 5W40 so no wory @ oll how evr u drive car . oil change interval is 15000 kms so peace of mind n evn 1st service at 15 k kms cmprd to maruti as 3 services done in 10 k kms only.

    Now abt fuel economy...juj amaging...gives me 19.8 when i rode it arnd 120 kmph and 20.7 @ 100kmph & 23-25 kmpl @ 80 kmph.

    gear box is smooth & owsm positive engages gear feels same as smooth and precise as of maruti cars. just changing gears @ 2500 rpm for first 2000 kms & nw at 3000 rpm feeling better nw  

    Ride Quality & Handling

     It uses hydrolic steering cmprd electronics as of others but it wins over olll cars in segments in terms of steering response & handling. feels like driving sedan instead of hatchbak due to long wheel base and design

    It comes with FIAT"s legendery suspension that nvr let u feel any patholes on the road...juj mindblowing...cnt comprd with worst ride quality of other cars as of swift ritz, indica, even i20...no 1 can match ride and handling of marvelous PUNTO...

    u will nvr tired & fatiuge of driving punto ...just searching reason to ride punto lollllz.

    Final Words

    if u need car that looks owsm, best in engine technology, ride and handling , most imp safety as it comes with 5star safety grade,  best soulmate 4 nxt 7 or 10 yearrs then close ur eyes ang get punto 2day..u vl nvr regret but ya ur surroundin ppl will regret that they nt having it.

    Areas of improvement  

     Fiat should teach other car manufacuters that how to build such owsm cars for their improvemnts......lol

     

    Superb Riding & comfort, World class engine technology, Solid built, high speed stability,suspensionnothing even single one ...........
