Ford Figo TDCI Vs Fiat Punto MJD

have driven figo tdci 16000 km before shifting to linea mjd. Drivability is not an issue in linea even in bumper to bumper traffic. Hope punto and linea multijet is same as far as drivability is concerned. Not driven punto in bumper to bumper traffic though.

 

Let your uncle drive the Punto and the Figo on the same stretch with same speed on the curves and the bumps..
Even though prefers Figo then its okay, we cant force anyone to go for the brand, we can only say the fact about the car.

Punto is more n more refined than the Figo need not need any bashing for it....

 

It seems as if you are not happy with your fiat..maybe you are finding it hard to drive, but I drive in all kinds of city traffic, I would anyday take my punto in the city and yes I am comparing it with my swift which is far more swifter than figo...

lol-you got me totally wrong here.
You need to meet me to know how much i love my Misty(Linea).
Yes my primary usage is on highways,so i do not enjoy driving Linea in city traffic(Another reason can be i always have to try hard to keep it away from an odd moron scratching my linea),i find it easier to drive a figo or even a scorpio in traffic,as both these vehicles have good driveability,and swift also suffers from turbo lag.Regarding Punto vs Figo,i dont deny the fact that as an overall car punto is better,but even figo is not as bad as people have pointed out,its handles as good as a punto,and its HPS offers almost similar feedback,and in fact i have found ford's handling to be slightly sharper than Fiat's.Yes,the interior quality is pretty bad and engine is on the noisier side,and it suffers from low GC,but still the titanium model offers good VFM.

 

Agree with Akshay here.Linea is not a city car.Really tiresome to drive it in city.Linea is totally a highway car.Punto is a city + highway car.Punto has an added advantage of power to weigh ratio,thats why its not tiresome to drive the punto in the city.

 

Before buying my Punto MJD I test drove the i20, Swift, Figo and the Punto. Maruti has a great ASS network, Hyundai and Ford almost equal ASS network and Pun to is a step brother in the infamous TATA ASS network. Apart from that Punto is better in most of the technical aspects (the i20 crdi is a beast, the figo 1.4 is old school and Swift and Punto share the same engine but with different tuning. Lastly handling wise none even comes near (you feel sorry for the i20 crdi engine). But eventually the decision depends on what you really want.

 

I think he was referring to Linea 1.4 may be,i have not driven the petrol powered Linea\Punto so cannot comment on these.
Also it all depends on personal prefrences and driving styles,one man's chalk may be other man's cheese.
So arguing on topic that Linea\Punto MJD has good drive ability or not ,wont yeild any fruitful results.
