After a short gap now you company is back in India. We people who belived the Fiat and who bought your cars are stil left out as orphans! DO you have any answer to this when your company men approach us with your "NEW PRODCUTS" ? Stopping production of a car is normal But we belive that the it is the companies responisbility to ensure the production and supply of SPARES! It is not just like buying dress!. Later if your company again run away after selling Linea or Punto whom should we approach?? Products Like UNO are still in prodcution in SA and Brazile, Why couldnt you source the matching spare to India So that Fiat can gain the lost trust of people of INDIA. Why you are not in a position to delcare that your own old products will be serviced and will make available of the spares for your own old (not that old !) vehilce, on the other hand your company comes with new products without even muttering a single word on the past happenings!.Here is a suggestion The Bio Flex Uno of Brazile can be launched in india as competetor for Maruthi's Alto (the largest sellling car) Sure the look and Quality of UNO is far ahead of Alto.AND be Bold to delacre "Fiat will take responsibility of OUR OWN vehicles"I wish you a great success this time. | Reply Sri Raja Raghavendar Mullapudi (14 July 2009 06:41) In this competetive market you must provide some attractions for the buyers.The hyundai people are offering a discount of Rs.20,000 on exchange of car(On selling anybrand of car and buying hyundai).Where as many other companies are offering discount to corporate people. | Reply baskey (12 July 2009 21:46) 3.99 is also too much for this price reason fiat palio failed whch was also priced nearly 3.75i think 3.55 would have been superb price... | Reply sanjay s (08 July 2009 23:04) does fiat punto have an automaic transmission version???? | Reply Srinivas (08 July 2009 19:38) Fiat Punto style is superb and extremely a good car in this segment both in design ,comfort and specification.

Amazing experience and Top features. Surely gives inferiority complex to Swifts, Desires, Vistas, i20 and many sedans on road. Stuning design which surely is a head turner on road.

One word to describe it...A KNOCKOUT !! Excellent interiors, the dashboard is amazing with good finish similar to what the pictures show.And the space...WOW, its very roomy including the boot. The 1.3 MJT EMOTION model I saw was just terrific in | Reply Prabhakar (13 June 2009 21:38) Launch date 17th June.Visit http://www.fiatpunto.in/ | Reply DEVINDER YADAV (13 June 2009 19:53) eagerly awaited punto bcz jazz is too much costly and JAZZ LOOK LIKE INOVA REAR IS NOT EFFECTIVE. SO PUBLIC ACCEPTION DEPAND ON FIET PUNTO | Reply Shahrukh Khan (13 June 2009 15:53) Launch Will be on 17th June 2009. All Fiat Lover keep watch on this vehicle it will rock in it's segment. I wish it could have launched 1 or 2 year before. Now the competition is very tough with swift, Getz, Ritz, Fabia, Jazz, i10, i20, Indica Vista in market | Reply sunil kumar (13 June 2009 10:18) I drive a Palio for the last five years and am extremely satisfied with the car except for the poor dealer network. I am eagerly waiting for the Grande Punto, but please improve upon the dealer and service network. All the best Fiat India. | Reply Sri Raja Raghavendar Mullapudi (13 June 2009 08:38) i am much awaited for Grand Punto. As my son used Petra Diesel we are interested in Grand Punto.If the price range is Rs.5 to 6 lakhs it definetly command the market.(Both Petrol | Reply Thanuj Kumar (12 June 2009 17:54) Already the basic version in UK costs 6000 pounds (roughly 4 lakhs), so my guess is it would be in the range of 4 to 5.5 lakhs for both petrol and diesel. | Reply Rajesh Dass (12 June 2009 17:29) No doubt Punto is going to be a great car. It's success in India depends on pricing.They should bring it somewhere between 4.5-5.75L for both petrol and diesel. | Reply Bharat (11 June 2009 17:00) I guess the Price tag will be in 5.8Lto 6.2L range. | Reply agam gupta (11 June 2009 11:33) love ihe car love the drive | Reply Mohinder Singh (10 June 2009 16:54) I think Fiat Grand Punto is going to rock and may capture the lost market provided the car is reasonably priced keeping in view the availability of B segment cars currently available in the market and those goint to be in the market upto December 2009. Car is surely goint to meet the expectations of B segment buyers. Good luck to Fiat. | Reply Saurabh KG (08 June 2009 15:55) Everything is fine about Grande Punto (GP) but service network is still the issue, if you compare with Maruti, Hyundai vehicles. But compared to Toyota, Honda etc. FIAT is better in this department also. On thing I saw in GP picture that, it has only 1 side rear Reverse Gear signal, that too very lowly placed. This makes car very very Risky. FIAT must see to this. | Reply Manish (08 June 2009 08:52) Grande Punto is going to shake the B segment.... nice review and photos here.... check this out.....http://autos.maxabout.com/cvid0000351/fiat-grande-punto-petrol.aspx | Reply Arindam  (04 June 2009 12:05) any expected cost of the car ...the range | Reply Sumit Singhal (30 May 2009 18:54) Fiat do make good cars all ovr the world but they are not offering their best in INDIA. They are not only bringing their bestsellers late, but I also doubt the quality of the components supplied in India. Please donot be fooled by their success stories in other parts of the world because you are not getting the same quality in India.Also their after sales service was really pathetic and now it is with TATA which also doesn't seem to bother much about Fiat customer.Please answer the question yourself, TATA today is the no. 1 car seller in terms of no. of vehicles sold, do they have the time to listen to Fiat customer. | Reply devinder yadav (28 May 2009 16:58) pubnto is a superb car in interior also too good in this segment and total SALES depand on the RATE of punto .fiat ingine are used in total world maruti/ tata/ford also use his ingins and there is heavy compition in this segment customer have more choice in all car brands. devinder yadav | Reply Subh (22 May 2009 17:22) 15th to 20th June is expected date of launch. | Reply Amit (22 May 2009 01:32) Punto will have to compete directly with existing models such as the Maruti Swift, Ritz and Dzire....and Skoda Fabia....also soon to be launched Hyundai i20 1.4 Crdi, VW Polo Diesel......altough i expect top notch quality and driveability from the fiat....pricing will be very important.....somewhere close to 6 lacs should make it hugely popular. | Reply RS Bhati (21 May 2009 10:02) Appears to be nicely model! Moreover success in long run depends on price and mileage of a car. Advise date of realease, plz. | Reply Rohan Jindal (14 May 2009 18:09) @ Veeru BangaloreTata would continue to service Fiats for over 10 years more. I own a Fiat Linea FIRE and am extremely satisfied with the car. It has great road presence and is the best sedan available in the market. Grande Punto is one of the best Fiat ever produced. It has great looks and the Indian Grande Punto , according to an insider, would also be the best in class. | Reply Veeru Bangalore (14 May 2009 09:52) Ooops!!,, This the car that turned the fortunes for Fiat and pulled Fiat out of Bankurupt. There must be something special in this vehicle otherwise all admirers of this car may not be wrong. Going by Linea, Fiat has improved the quality of the interiors very well, not to mention drivability and durability of Fiats. The question is, how long Tata will continue to service Fiats..?? Otherwise I am the first one to buy. I feel Grande Punto should be priced sensibally to achive volumes...!! | Reply  Vikas Bhardwaj (25 February 2010 16:31) Reply to Veeru Bangalore Zigwheel and most of the other magzines gives paid reviews. I have seen the reviews on T.V also called RAFTAAR and all. They all are crap. I believe the test drive people do not know how to drive and what is driving pleasure all about. Guys just do not get confused with Zigwheels and all. Drive Punto. You will come to know about the driving pleasure and sharp turns. Punto is the best hatch in its segment. You will always feel confident while driving it. After all its drive by wire. This guy has some minimum speed for every gear, you do not need to press accelerator in Traffic jams. You can drive this beauty like a automatic transmission car. I am driving my punto multijet for last 1 months and its superb. Mileage in City 18 and on high way 24 (at 80 KMPH) I am getting. There are so many features which most of the cars does not offer like instantaneous fuel consumption and many more. | Reply Kanhu (12 May 2009 17:03) Let me know the release date of Fiat Punto in India | Reply DrVinod Modase (03 May 2009 07:17) Sir,Please inform me the advantages of FIAT PUNTO | Reply
