AF COURSE DUDE DUSTER

punto

Between the 2 you have stated, i20 is a better choice

For driving pleasure and ride quality gor for Punto. For reliablity and good afer sales serive go for i20.

Punto is the best car to go with as many have suggested and i20 has loads of equipment list where you can also go with that but both have respective issues:
Punto has A.S.S problems as it is tied with Tata which is the main cause for lower sales number but a good car to drive as others said here
I20 still has steering rattling issues where…[Read more]

y not take the swift good handling…if chauffer driven then i20..i20 crdi 1.4 gives a good 20kmpl

u could wait till both punto evo and the fluidic i20 is launched then decide

India probably wont see Punto evo in 2012. Go 4 punto aftr the jan 3rd upgrades. Fiat will have separate showrooms by 2012 end, service will be better. Tata service isnt bad everywhere, just ask fiat owners in your area. Punto is easily the best diesel hatch.

punto

Thank you guys . i can see dat most of the votes goes for punto, but i have heared that it has really bad ground clearance. is it so….??

Now its 171 mm.. Also there is a thick engine guard.. Better ground clearance is sure after upgrades. Some websites predicts 185 mm or195 mm (GC of SX4 is only 190mm)!! Wait 4 jan 3rd.

guys booked i20 magna model. taking delivery on 1 jan12.

i guess the experience would be good.

you got it ryt mate…..how much is it costing you !!

638000 with insurance from himachal

Wish u happy miles mate. I20 facelift looks overstyled, better to buy current version.

thanx @yadhoo

When is the launch date of i20 fluidic ?

Dude check out the new Punto,quality wise any time european cars,its a rock solid vehicle,go ahead,I20 is the poor cousin of Punto,appears european but no mannerism of it.

punto has got zero resale n heavy mainatainence…so if u r rich to bear d cost den punto…..but at d same time i20 sportz has got awesum features,good resale n low maintainence.

dude i will suggest you i20 it has good features and sober looks and also hyundai launching fluidic i20 so you can wait for that option.

I would say,, you should go with your heart in this comparison I believe both are more or less equivalent…

A.S.S is only a problem for Punto, otherwise its the awsome to ride from the two..

i 20 obs …….coz aftr sales service is also gud in case on hyundai…….fiat-tata is a joint venture so tata ppl vl always gv pref on tata cars den on fiat on aftr sale srvce.

i20

i20 asta with abs is better

Mr. Mayur, who told you that Punto’s maintenance is high. I can bet that it almost 50% of i20. Hope you would not belive, but you always can check for actual price. I am a owner of Punto and it has crossed 35K so far. I can say its a excellent machine. May be its a bit slower on red lights due to the way its tunned but its not exactly the place to race.

Mine is petrol 1.2 and I’ve got 23.6 kmpl as best millage so far on highway. But I’ce acheived 21 kmpl more than 10 times that too for 150+ kms. Best speed I’ve closed 170 kph.

On otherside, my cousin has Fludic Verna , I can braking system in this vechicle is just horrible. I am saying this on the basis of braking system of my punto. Also, F.V. has lot of vibretion in floor. In last we should say something only on the basis of facts. Don’t take words from mouths of others. Apply your brain , test cars yourself and then…[Read more]

Hyundai is going to change brakes and suspension in upcoming versions of verna

bad choice… i20 sucks…punto rocks,,

punto ………. obviously …… coz of its high standards of safety as per European standards ……. and superb design …….. i am very happy with its calm performance …….. i also hav i20 but am regretting coz of its poor ride quality,comfort and its poor fabrics.

@Aditya Upadhya: can you please share your 3 months of experience with i20? i’m also confused with these models. i really liked swift but its 6 months waiting period is draw back for me.

Punto has some low quality plastics especially in height-adjustable seat belt latch and parcel trays. Steering mounted audio controls are offered only in top end Emotion variant. Rear headroom might be a bit of concern for six foot plus persons. Fiat need to emphasize on the after sales part as well to boost its car sales.

punto is a piece of shit….once it is got some prob ..it will keep on repeating…..very high maintenance….no looks….

People who have no experience in driving or know nothing about driving will say that Punto is pathetic. It is best hatch you can buy in india new model has Good quality plastics and it has superb gound clearence. And please mind it maintenance of punto is very low almost 50% low compare to i20.

I own i20 1.4 CRDI. Comparing a i20 with punto is like comparing a hovercraft with a horse. Although i agree that the pickup and acceleration of Punto is higher than i20, when it comes to comfort, suspension, drive quality and “The car-feel”, it is nowhere near to i20. Punto can be compared with the Indian cars like swift. But, when it comes to…[Read more]

why a lots of people like swift ? why not like punto compear to swift ?

Swaroop SP : Sir first of al i will make something clear that Punto is well eshtablished product globally not i20 in many international market nobody buys Hyundai same as Suzuki. Suspension setup of i20 is so soft its not confortable next engine durability MJD is light year ahead of CRDi. So Yes i20 is good but Punto is Bes or you can say Better…[Read more]

i will book a swift vdi tomaro..

@Nitin.. How do you manage such high figures with Punto 1.2 Petrol.. I am unable to get more than 12/13 without AC in Kolkata city even with really control driving.. Where as best was around 21kmpl for me at around 70kmph in GQ stretch but in normal driving, its really hard for me obtain more than 10/12 in city where as 14/15 in highways !!

Hyundai Verna Fliudic is the best one to get arounf that budget and powerful engine is a boon on that car
But for a decent drive and decent features Vento TDI is best

if you need features then go for verna or fiesta …but i dont prefer ford tdci much n verna has some waiting period …. rapid has all the much needed features ie the essential ones only as well as an awesome ride handling and quality .

fiat linea fits perfectly in ur criteria take a look at it after 3rd jan
ride quality is a bench mark in d segment n has a small waiting period too.

Skoda rapid

According to me production of hyundai verna is stooped due to case by honda !!

it aint “stooped” get ur facts right before you comment

opt for the fiesta if you’re driving yourself

vento tdi highline

suggest me a good diesel sedan car

Rapid. Its the Vento under the skin but with the flaws of the Vento ironed out.

Hyundai Verna fluidic is the best in everything, others are standerd and Ford fiesta titanium is bit ugly from behind. Skoda Rapid and VW Vento looks like twin brothers

All are more or less good… now go with Verna or Fiesta if wants a sporty bit.. go for Vento or Rapid if likes simple and classy things And If wants both, go for Fiesta, as it would never become a street car like Verna…

thanks..

but in-dash receiver has got its own specialisation. Lyk its screen lukin lyk lcd. . .nd its coloured graphics with good resolution. . While gps only gives u a digital data with fluct screen. . I dnt knw about the cost.

Hi….We have GPS systems available for all cars….Range starts from 8k to 19k

ty..ppl

b/w d two cars u ve specified..its d Swift dt has edge over Punto’s 90hp in terms of performance, fuel efficieny with best a.s.s. &resale value.
Punto is a rigid &stable highway car. It shames other cars with its gr8 ride n handling package even swift. Test drive both cars.

Punto 90HP is good if you like to play around than swift,If you are not worried too much on Fiat’s A.S.S and need the car without waiting for monthsm Punto is the best option you will get.

@yogeshn vishwas: i took TD of both the cars both are great at their places but i loved punto very much…but worried about its A.S.S n offcourse resale value…

Punto is a great lovable car.. Best performance and handling.. coolest looks.. but A.S.S. of swift and resale value is a lil better.. though everywhwere A.S.S is not bad and TATA’s are really improving on it..

punto any day is much better, mr vishal fyi fiat cars have won the very prestigious european car of the year award 12 times in the past. how many times has suzuki won??????

punto 90 hp

‎@vishal.. not in auto engineering.

@suraj.. its so simple,Get the car u love.. Period.
Service is decent enough, ask only to fiat owners in ur area. Separate fiat network and new launches will help in resale. Just wait for jan 3rd upgrades.

i own a punto 90hp better go for punto its best car i have ever drivn swift is bit kind gets shaky when on above 120′s but punto is the best rigid one in all the cars available in market

wtevr u prefer both the engines r developed by fiat. . . Both have 1.3 lit engine . . But in 90 hp they r generating from same engine thats producing 75 bhp at its good rpm rating. . So durability of 90 hp engine is less. If u wana go fr simple multijet emotion pack than ok. . Nd sm1 talking about suzuki repo. . .no 1 can match up with japnees quality.

i ll prefer u with swift. . . Punto is also gud . . But emotion pack having same engine lyk swift. . . .

if don’t have any service problem than simply go for punto 90 hp otherwise swift zdi. fiat is also opening its own service centre and dealership

Punto 2012 with better road clearance,music player & upholstery is a good attempt 2 close the gap

plz sayme wat is this A.S.S problem as i am thinking to buy a new punto plz

tata is providing service for fiat. that’s the problem.many people for tata service center say that” jo ek baar aata hai, wo baar baar aata hai”

k..thanks

glad someone agrees. tatas service is widespread, n they wont break partnership with fiat cause tata is learning a lot of tech frm fiat. also now tata has tied up for service with sister arm, tata trucks. which means more highway support for fiat too. (not that much goes wrong with fiat anyways).they make Solid vehicles. ive had a palio for 5…[Read more]

i agree indiscriminately with you.i believe FIAT is a great brand with engineers cars with great passionn lets not forget the cars are smashing gorgeous as well.

Bloody maruti fools indians by putting the same 1.3 multijet in both swift and sx4

mayank-also dont forget the other brands fiat owns- ferrari, alfa -romeo,lancia. also the worlds leading electronics speciast magnetti marelli. this is a list of fiat cars which have won the euro car of the year award..1967: Fiat 1241970: Fiat 1281972: Fiat 1271980: Lancia Delta1984: Fiat Uno1989: Fiat Tipo1995: Fiat Punto1996: Fiat…[Read more]

sikander the funniest thing is, now even after people have a choice of much better handling,ride,control, engineering package with euro cars, n for the same price, why still be stuck to the jap’s version of cars?

Agree.. Sadly, people love to play it safe. Apart from tata service, they have questions about the long term committment of fiat to india. So fiat has more fans than owners.

yadhoo aam junta dont know what they r missing, their loss. fiats been in india for around 14 yrs now. n with new models uno n suv coming. fiat is serious abt ind 4 sure. besides in brazil(similar place like ind) fiat is the market leader.

hey @carl misty if u reside in delhi u can visit d FIAT caffe which is to be unveiled supposedly on 6th jan since u r a fiat fan

thanks mayank, i live in mumbai though.

In the current scenario, its wise to go for diesel car and prudent to choose a Fiat multijet engine which is amongst the worlds most trusted small car diesel engine technology.

Its a gud car. If you can deal wid the petrol prices. Diesel Punto is a gud option.

Performance Thrills in the class!

best in class suspension, handling n high speed control. tata backed service makes it even more lucrative. euro car which is cheaper in cost than even sub standard korean n jap cars.

Thankyou people for you honest replies.i’m not planning to buy the car any time soon just wanted to know what others thought of it as i’m a fiat fan.

Go ahead.. Great car.

Swift.

go for swift yaar……more features more reliability more power and most importantly less maintenance

u wud also consider Ritz Vdi. Its also a gud car compared to Beat.

The new swift looks great.. The interiors are far more better than the old swift.. You should go for swift !

SWIFT.

spares r affordable n always available , which is a dream wit chevy! then resale n market presence! swift always n always! do not think chevy man!

i suggest the punto diesel. u just cant compare an italian with wannabe korean(chevy is a rebadged daewoo), and jap crap.

Also check out punto..
