Safe, affordable and super Punch.

After getting a good deal for my 13 years old hatchback I was planning for a new one and visited car showrooms near me and finally decided to buy this Tata Punch Pure (MT). Tata Motors Showroom sales team is very friendly and cooperative here and there was no waiting period drama. After doing finance related paperwork I made the down payment and the same day they delivered the car. Although this is a 5 seater, this car is called a compact SUV and it is corroborated by it's exterior, rugged design, high ground clearance, wide cabin space and large boot but you can handle it or park it in a space required for another hatchback. I have driven this car about a thousand kilometers and can say the driving experience is just mind blowing. Driver's sitting position gives the feel of driving SUV. Front and side visibility are more than enough for cornering, parking and it's very helpful while driving in bumper to bumper traffic. High ground clearance and stiffer suspensions add confidence on rough roads and irregular speed breakers. It delivers mileage of 20+Kmpl on highway easily. Along with 2 airbags all basic safety features are included from the base model of the car and on a price of 6 Lakh I think it is the most cost effective variant. Maintenance or service cost seems to be reasonable. Pros: 1) Safety rating 5-star. 2) Two driving modes. 3) Auto start/stop feature. 4) Wide body cladding prevents the car from scratches and believe me it looks cool on my grey color. 5) The car is wide enough in second row for 3 persons in terms of shoulder room. 6) All seats are very comfortable with decent thigh support. 7) Muscular look (although it's personal choice). 8) 90° all doors opening. Cons: 1) A friend of mine says it feels underpowered (but personally I don't think so). 2) Cabin noise and vibration (again I don't feel so. May be it's because of Phase-2 car which I have). Verdict: If you have limited budget and you want a safe SUVish car. Go for it .

Very Robust

<p>I ve bought it very recently and travelled almost 2K distance. Below are my reviews.</p> <p><strong>Exterior</strong>&nbsp;Very Masculine like SUV, Very Royal and roomy feeling.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong>&nbsp;Spacious and strong.</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong>&nbsp;Engine is smooth and great, works like a turbo fitted engine and great driving in highways. Fuel economy would have been better as I get only 12\ltr in city when competitors are serving 17. Gearing is fun. Very handy.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong>&nbsp;Riding is very majestic and appealing.</p> <p>Handling has a problem in two areas:</p> <p>1. Right side&nbsp; - behind the side mirror till the windshield will have a blind spot and cant see anyone approaching immediately.</p> <p>2. Left side - Near rear door handle will not give clear visibility as the area of the side mirror is small.</p> <p>These two are my findings of the car in traffic.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong>&nbsp;Awesome - Go for it. Its a budget car which is a pride.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;Mileage for sure. Blindspots.</p>Design & Style, Gear Position and featuresMileage
