Fiat Punto Evo User Reviews

Exterior I love the design and chrome finish,The metal is so heavy that you can survive any sort of major accidents(Just open the door/Bonnet and compare with other cars).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Dash board could have been touch screen,Nice leg room and speakers are of top notch quality. The Dual tone upholstery and piano black interior finish looks too royal for a car in the price range given.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is superior and can blindly ride for thousands of kms without opening the bonnet. Nice pickup but lag during acceleration and gearbox is smooth.Fuel economy lesser in city but at par on highway with 20kmpl(diesel).

Ride Quality & Handling I can say it's a common Man's BMW because the level of control on road at high speeds(Thanks to hydraulic steering) you cant get in any car of that segment.

Final Words Fiat is not a company that does aggressive branding like others. This car is only for quality oriented people who understands what a car should really have(In terms of safety and build,I have been saved twice of the major accidents ). Once you get addicted to FIAT, you wont think of others till BMW or AUDI.

Areas of improvement Infotainment can be improved a bit more(Which is available in European versions)Gearbox can be made still smoother.

Exterior Exterior looks and design is very good and excellent build quality.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good looking dash board and features are very nice and useful, space is very comfortable especially rear seat passengers can have enough legroom. automatic climate control a.c is working fine.

Only I thing I did not like is,  less  space for  keeping accessories and bottle holders space on front door also very congested. Need to improve plastic quality like a.c vent grills, fuel lid cap etc.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is good @20 kmpl on highways and 15-16 kmpl in city. Very good and proven engine, less noice in cabin.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good control on vehicle at sharp turnings and wont feel tired in long journeys. Comfortable ride on bumpy roads.

Final Words Very good car, excellent build quality and ground clrarence, value for money.

Areas of improvement Need to improve space for keeping accessories and front door bottle holders, need to improve the quality of plastics like fuel lid cap etc, Surprisingly I did not receive any message/call from fiat india, so far in 3 months, to welcome/convey greetings on becoming their customer and to enquire about product and service/dealer support.

Some of the fiat owners having service related issues with their dealers, fiat india need to solve these issues to build confidence in customers.

Previously I owned maruti product, the moment I purchased it, I used get lot messages and calls from maruti and their dealers regarding product and service related enquiries.

Exterior

 Color i choosed was Red Wine. Its Beautiful when it was delivered. Lot of chromes but not a issuse when you drive the beautiful machine.

Diffrent Style. sometimes i think may be from back looks like a indica. But once i stop and i will check the back, ok it differs.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 For me its look nice. Dash board is better. That's it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Same engine(Not now) as in swift. But the space where i can go 170 kmpr in swift can do 160 kmpr in this machine, Because of Solid body. You can trust it on high speed unlike swift.

my average speed is 120 and my average KMPL(Diesel) is 18. And Smooth Gearbox.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Best in this Segment. I ride mostly in Highways. To cut the Trucks,Buses and other cars with this machine is better than any other cars in this segment because of hydraulic power steering.

Cornering also best. But it can't beat my ESTEEM. 

Final Words

 I am travelling from Hyderabad to Trichy(1800 kms up and down) monthly. I test drive lot of cars(5-8 lacs) for my need. Finally i picked this one. And am satisfied.

Valentino Rossi's😎 Sponsers(once) never fails like him.

Areas of improvement  

 Fiat is the only company,producing machines for riders. Please don't change your mind for any reason. And don't change HPS, because i don't want my son to ride without fun.

Exterior Super build up quality, i think in Indian market this is the only safe hatchbacks compare to other cars in the same range. Anybody would like to be safe while driving any car and then comes everything else. So Punto is one which much safer compare to other cars.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) New Punto EVO has worked on all the drawbacks the old one had and have improved the Interiors, Comfort is the benchmark and is always there with Fiat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Maruti Suzuki's one of the most selling car is Swift and is only running in the market because of Fiat Engine. Maruti has tuned it better than Fiat however performance on Engine, Fuel Economy and Gear box does not change at all.

Ride Quality & Handling Anyone has to do a test drive on highway, Handling and Heavy weight of the Fiat Punto gives you luxury. Swift kerb weight is around 1000 kgs where as Punto its around 1300 kgs. Ofcourse swift has better pick up than Punto, apart from which Punto is step ahead in everything else.

Final Words I say do not just blindly follow what everyone says; everybody might not be right always. If you are looking at best drives always; then i suggest Fiat Cars only gives them.

Areas of improvement Fiat is improving its services and thats what they have to concentrate on.

Exterior

 too much  good  i  purchased  evo in black  color  it  looks  sexy  but  i am  still searching  back  crome  accessories  for  dicky  and  crome handle  cover

body is  solid

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 

inner space of  car  is  good  and plastic  quality is  also  good  and  bad  thing  is  dashboard  is not designed to keep  things  in  it

their  is also  no  place  near  to  handbreak

elese  everything is  upto the mark  and   i  got  it  6.03 lakh  for multiject  active  diesel model  with  rto and insurance  and  sonly  speakers  and  music system

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

i am driving  diesel car  first time  as  my  all  previous cars  were petrol  so  i am fully satisfied  and  car is  so smooth not  give the  feel   of  diesel

Ride Quality & Handling

Final Words

its the best  option  than  i20  as  too much  expensive  and  plz  dont  go  for  swift  old  style

Areas of improvement  

i request  company  plz  do  some  ground  work  in  accorries  and  their  is  approx  1  lakh  price   difference  between  active and  its  upper  model

This is about Punto Evo 1.2L Active

Exterior It has good the best looks in the segment. Period. Some might differ to my opinion and say i20 has the best design. I would say look at the back of i20 its un-original.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The features are good. I really like the speed limiter which is of very use nowadays.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is very refined and its almost silent from 3rd gear onwards. I am getting around 15-16 on highways after initial 100km ride(it was 13 initially) and 10-13 in cities. This is excellent considering the AC was on 80 perc of the time and was at 2nd position. Though the gearbox feels rubbery and can make you feel like you might have put it in the wrong position(you might have, thats your problem not the car's) . But that all gonna happens only in the initial 100km ride or till the time you get the feel of the vehicle. Once you get that that it is the easiest gearbox slot gears into coz gears has less travelling time from the neutral position. And I felt this vehicle is easier to shift gears in comparison to the wagonR 1.0 my dad has. 

Ride Quality & Handling You might have already know that this is the best in class. And I can vouch for that. A 4.5 hr straight journey with just 2 stops with maximum five min rest and I still feel I can ride more. The driving is a pleasure in this vehicle. The steering feedback along with the fabulous suspension makes  the ride such a pleasure job.

Final Words You might feel this vehicle a bit underpowered if you are used to marutis. The pulling power on higher gears is something of a worry for me. Even then all other factors make up for that. I would strongly recommend this vehcile if you dont have money to buy the multijet.

Areas of improvement Need to improve the power.

Before buying this car, I have gone through the reviews by Carwale about this car and other car. I read TeamBHP review. Many review confused me to buy other cars. Finally I decided to buy this car. I am using this car from past 2 years.

Comfort: Ride quality is really very good. Steering is hydraulic, one feel car is attached to road.  Feedback is also very good, compare to other cars. Ground clearance is high, which helps in city roads with higher speed breakers, and rural place where there are no proper roads.

Inside there is enough place. Many time we 6 travelled. Compare to other car (Polo, Swift) one can easily make out the space inside the car and seating comfort.

Appearance and style: I liked the look and style.

Front indicators are outside the headlight, and rear indicators are top, which are really good feature to support safety.

Liked the side and front look, grill.

Pickup: Pickup in second and third gear is good. I have touched 160kmph on National Highways. Stability at 140kmph is awesome compare to any other known cars in this range.

Mileage: 20km per litre on Highways, 16.66kmpl in city.

Best Features: Ground Clearance 185mm, Steering Hydraulic, ergonomic, Space Inside, Build Quality. Headlights

Area of improvements Marketing, Advertisements, Brand Names.

Overall Experience: I liked the car, I have driven 30,000+km till today, compared with other car, Polo, Swift etc. Definitely I liked Fiat Punto, I suggest others also Punto.
