Buddy, Congrats! Few thoughts. 1. Check tyre pressure - keep all 30 points from a reliablepump - should not be so stiff, and shud not be too loose either 2. Components and fluids check! - see if your break oil, coolant etc levels are to the mark! 3. Driving style matters a lot! you must have co Read More...

I trust you fully brother. still i feel really bad, my story, as near to from your timeline, is different, and is better all the way till date! i had no probs til nearing 2 yrs. hope FIAT address the issues, or let the customers decide the future of it in India! Time to make a call, FIAT! Seriously!

That’s just amazing! Arunseshu had written he had touched 180kmph in Hunsur highway. Congrats. @countme91 : If you are used to-with torquey driving and know how to guide your car’s torque in your advantage, you will yield decent mileage even on hair pins and hilly areas i believe. i cross checked Read More...

@Mike78, the mileage is not hypothetical or biased I could vouch from my experience. I have a Nov 2009 MJD Emo Pack that clocked 22000 kms. During my recent Coimbatore-Bangalore round trip (close to 800 kms) it had returned FE of 20.6 kmpl. I have achived 21.7 kmpl of diesel and many times 21 + dur Read More...

Nice to know you are going in true colours with Punto! Great mileage. Recently I face an issue, my Emo Pack diesel clocked 21500 kms, i’ve given for claim and service (there was a dent in left rear wheelarch due to my carelessness) and just before the service/claim i had noticed when crossing 110 Read More...

Hello Ravindran, I think you are right - petrol may not require filter-changes as often as in diesels; but not quiet sure. Please check in team-bhp or any other experts directly. Friends, please comment if you have any know-how! thnks.
Hello Ajay, Thanks for your input of real-time information. Yes - it gives a decent idea on the service cost to owners from various quarters. Swift is a highly practical and most peppy hatch around. Congrats on churning up miles and utilising the diesel hatch to its best. Wish you Happy and safe Read More...

Situation is understood and feel pity though, individual circumstance for a test drive request is not the evaluation base for a nicely engineered product that is a huge success in Europe. You are spreading the Wrong message to the mass! I have one year of wonderful experience with the product, and Read More...

I see your point here, but FYI: I20 Magna and Magna Option (with Driver airbag and optional ABS) fits in the budget. Also I own and drive Punto for 9 mths, 15000 kms done (diesel emo pack). Handilng is the best in class, POLO comes closer and FIGO too to an extent in handling and ride. Also back sea Read More...
I think you are comparing Polo to a different class of cars! Did you try Punto(Emotion or Emo pack) and I20? the petrol versions are competitive in pricing and spare parts price list i have checked for Punto, in most of the common components I found Punto’s is the lowest in market. Definitely Polo i Read More...

I completely back rmaharishi's opinion, i too own a punto diesel (review and exp. shared already) and i hav reached 14k kms, no complaints so far, esp happy on my decision after driving few other cars including new launches. Mixed reactions on service. Btw you may try with FIAT India, write your gri Read More...

Congrat Hebin, White is an amazing colour for Punto! (I saw it only after buying my med grey!) From your descpn your car seems to be MJD Emo Pack. Fog lamps will help during misty night drives, i never had any problems and found head lamps decent. 3000 km is enough to judge the car, i would say! Wha Read More...

hello Anooj, without any bias, i could say there are good and bad A S S & Service from FIAT, a mix of both, say 50-50. My personal experience goes with it (completed 12000 kms in 7 months with MJD EP), say for instance: TVM -Kulathunkal : Average to Poor quality service; TAFE Coimbatore provided Read More...
