Grand Punto is an attractive and spacious car which suits your personality. The styling of the Grande Punto stands out in the current automotive scene for the beauty of the exterior line, which is modern, elegant and distinctly ’Italian’, a ’Mediterranean’ stylistic language where the tapered rounded lines seem to be inspired by the sports cars of the 1950s and 1960s. It is so amazing, that this car is really a great value for money.
Airbag, Blue&me, auto climate control, alloys, superb interiors, excellent drive comfort, steering mounted audio controls and that too for 6.7 on the road. The engine is superb and I have also come to know that the oil change is reqd only after 30, 000 km.
This is a car created to ’excite’, but also to express the solidity that comes from superb quality standards. This is borne out by extremely high safety standards, attention to detail that is unusual in this market bracket, and exceptional comfort.
