Hi, this seems like a decent deal to me, we shall connect on fb and have a word, am open to having an honest talk with you. Regards.

Some things to note – Insurance may need renewal soon (15 – 20k), 90k service will be a multiple of 30k where all fluids and filters need a change (around 8k), the timing chain 60k replacement (around 7k), the battery may have come for replacement (around 5k) and so may be the condition of the tires (20 – 25k). There may be other things apart from…[Read more]

Consider Hyundai i20, FIAT Punto 90 & Tata Vista D90 which wud fulfill ur demands…. amng this, D90 will be my pick since it offers good amnt of space, comforts & features which makes it a true VFM hatchback in the premium segment…. Regards

The three contenders are clear here. The D90 if you want VFM, the i20 if you want a long feature list (not necessarily features which are highly useful), the Punto if you want a drivers car and on a product to product comparison the best you can buy. Regards.

I completely agree with @Amit

Here is an answer of a lighter note, please do (or) NOT take it seriously. The Punto is the hot girl from college everyone wants to date and marry but being concerned about society / family / friends (and their opinions) people end up dating and marrying the supposedly cultural / socially acceptable etc girl (typically a Swift / i20, the great…[Read more]

Well Said @Amit.. i agree with you… and now we should really stop fighting for i20 and Punto..each one has their own choice..i request this to all the members

Its not a fight! Its just way too funny when people with half or extremely poor knowledge try to sum things up. I am just trying to help the really poor knowledge which has come from sales people or random internet sources, in essence its not first hand information. I have a car from both brands and hold nothing for or against any brand. But…[Read more]

Hi Abhijeet, since there is so much negativity that people easily get access to from others who have no experience of Fiat, it tends to affect the buying decision at the moment when we sign on the dotted line. It even happened to me, though I was and am thoroughly convinced about the product, just before going out on so many lakhs even I had…[Read more]

Team BHP is a heavily moderated forum, hope you know that and understand what it means. Owner reviews here say exactly what I say, don’t pay heed to those who don’t have first hand experience, they love to bash Fiat for no apparent reason.

i10 is definitely a notch above the Eon. It has better space, better interiors, stronger engine, better boot space etc. Of course this also means that the FE will be slightly lower and the price is definitely more than the Eon. Regards.

i10 is way ahead of the Eon in almost all the ways

If you understand this – 88H 195/60 R15 6.5J on the Punto. Would be happy to stand corrected if any other hatch gets a better combination of alloys and rubber. Regards.

88 – Load rating – 560 kg per tire and H – Speed rating – 210 kph.

They use a max of 185 section tire and 5.5J alloy, unsure about the speed and load rating but it may be lower or equal to 88H.

Width of the alloy in inches – In simple words the Punto gets 6.5 inch wide alloys where others are using 5.5 inch wide alloys, just another example of cost cutting. Lower speed and load rating also reduce the price of the tire for the manufacturer. Which buyer goes to check these things? People usually discuss other features and forget that tires…[Read more]

Unfortunately it is true only if the vehicle is horribly over-tired otherwise such a tire profile is better for traction. A quick physics recall may make you realize that the contact patch remains the same since P=F/A, its more about the tire compound and tread pattern that makes more of a difference. A vehicles behavior is more influenced by the…[Read more]

We can’t say if the Abarth Essesse will come to India, in all likelihood though it won’t Secondly there is no such problem on the Punto which I have heard about, I have a Linea which is essentially the same build quality and no water seeps into the car. The test car being reviewed may have had some issues, can’t say for sure but rest assured…[Read more]

Congrats on the New car Buddy and no worries they wont make it in Indian Car Scene anytime soon.Do Properly Run-in your car.Regards…

You get a rough and tough vehicle that is big, imposing and very spacious and comfortable. The engine is strong and the efficiency is what it should be. It is quite good to drive and the interiors are of high quality. The Storme checks most of the boxes, and quite comprehensively. Alternatives? An improved and updated XUV will soon hit the market.…[Read more]

I know Coorg pretty well and the Storme should do well on those roads, however, keep in mind that there are a lot of roads/trails in Coorg which are narrow and the Storme’s width could pose a problem there. Take a detailed test drive on the kind of roads you would drive and then decide.

Depends on the segment you are looking at. The best in the world is the Rolls Royce Phantom.

At city speeds and average highway speeds less than 100kmph, the Vista is a very supple and comfortable car. However, if you like to drive and corner fast, the Punto and the Polo win. If I were you, I d pick the Punto for its amazing suspension and ride quality.

Among the hatchbacks, the Punto has the best suspension setup, undoubtedly.

buying a used esteem will leads to head aches….i wud suggest u to go for MS Alto… d Alto will be d newest amng des cars rytt… dn in tems f reliability, durability n A.S.S, u can bliv Alto…..

The Alto will be cheap to run, cheap to service, any replacement parts like tires, battery or spares should be cheaper than the other two. Easier to park, better to drive on congested roads and can do all the highway running if a driver is gentle enough. I have done a Pune Bangalore (~ 850 kms) non stop run (except for fuel) with friends rotating…[Read more]

You would get a newer Alto in your budget, and maintenance costs are quite low.
