  • The Fiat Punto has evolved and aptly, the carmaker is calling it the Punto Evo. Fiat has given the Punto a brand new face that's exclusively styled for the Indian market, and it looks more 'Italian' than ever. We drove the 92bhp diesel "Sport" variant for this review. Fiat is yet to announce prices for the Punto Evo but we expect it to remain the same as the outgoing Grande Punto.
    Pls note, we filmed this quick review in the thick of Mumbai's monsoon so the car will be wet / dry in different parts of the video.

    I have completed 100000 kms on this without a fuss . Amazing piece of engineering! They don’t make cars like these anymore . Highway manners is just phenomenal. The only other car that matches its ride is the Vento , which is a segment above . Handling department , there is no other car below 15 lakhs to match this .

    I had Just bought my 90hp, the 10 days of drive all I can say this is the best hatch back in INDIA on this price mark. " If you still like driving Fiat is still ahead".

    I have Punto old model and my cousin has Evo. The stability, ride quality, mileage is wonderful. Fiat service in Chennai is very good. When we park both cars side by side, the old design always wins the heart.

      rohit r​, I live in Chennai and there were no issues of spare parts. Off late Fiat is doing a great job to improve its service. I would suggest you to visit the service center in your city to know the situation.

    My Punto has done over 1L kms and it still drives like new. Have done the recommended parts change (timing belt, etc etc.)
    The handling is just mind blowing. No other car below 20-25Lakhs can even come near the punto with respect to handling/performance.
    I've taken it to all kinds of terrains and still there's no squeak or any cabin noise whatsoever.
    Modern day cars are just loaded with fancy electronics.

      Babin Praise Thankarajan Of all the cars I've tested, nothing came close to Punto in terms of driving dynamics: ride, handling and braking (talking abt the older Punto here). And for me, safety is very important and this car is built strong. I would have already bought it if not for the news about upcoming Punto :)

      I second that. I have always wanted Polo for more than two years, but when I test drove the Punto, nothing came close in the ride, handling, braking, suspension, sturdiness etc etc. In a matter of month, I got Punto Evo 90hp instead of the Polo I have been looking out for.

    Punto is most heavy weight hatchback with strong metal body. And thatswhy it is not as quick as swift or baleno because of excess weight. But still it is fun for highway cruising though not as quick as swift in terms of drag racing. Practically nobody does drag racing in day to day driving. Punto has excellent highway high speed stability.

    This is the big mistake of Fiat and its not new problem they have itz been from fiat premier.Because of service the company is not able to stand in the automobile.

    I don't understand. One buys a hatchback for its practicality peppy engine to be able to park in tight spaces to be able zip past in stop n go traffic. If someone wants to make a style statement a hatchback whether German or Italian just won't cut it. You will need a Mercedes Porsche Audi or a beamer for that. Sadly the punto fails in the most important aspect of being a hatchback ie. Low end grunt. That's a good enough reason to stay away from it. A 3 cylinder boxy wagon r has more low end torque than punto. N that's what is needed in a congested city or uphill drive.
