Hello

Hi all,
First of all thanks for all for accepting me as a part of TEAM FIAT.

I am from Kerala, working with a Software company in Mumbai, so staying in Mumbai with my wife and kid.
I am not a guy who is keen on the FE figures, what I need was a solid build, a big car feel good performance and looks. Grande Punto was shortlisted and booked a Med. Grey 1.2 Active petrol from Balaji Autocars, Kalyan. Faced many issues during the sales process, all problems got resolved when I escalated the matter to FIAT. I will post a detailed ownership review later...

Now the car has done 2000+ and never let me down. The small issues I faced with the car was

• Glove box was not closing properly[/*:3r6ff21d]
• Door beading came off from the rear RHS door[/*:3r6ff21d]
• Fuel lid opener lock was broken.[/*:3r6ff21d]

All the issues were fixed and I have no regrets in the buying decision. One of my friends, who was going to book a VW Polo booked 1.3MJD Emotion after driving my car.

Happy revving...

N.B: Yesterday when I was driving back home form office I saw 3 puntos coming fronm the other side and all of them flashed as if saying "Hello", I bet this is not going to happen with any other brand. :clap

True, One day when my friend was struggling in Mumbai traffic to take a U-turn, one Punto guy stopped and gave way for him.
