This forum has members who have driven plethora of cars and have very intricate understanding of different gear boxes and engines. That is one spectrum of people. On other spectrum are people like me who understands nothing about cars and just want a good family car.

I am still very conflicted on what to buy and I have not ruled out any car. I have read here about AMT of Tata not being good and such and 3 pot engines and all which I don't understand. In terms of a first car for a new driver who likes bells and whistles and feel good car and decent A.S.S in Tier 1 City, is Punch AMT a good option?

If people who own AMT of the car can pitch in, it would be great.

Hello,

I drive a 2020 Swift VXi AMT. The car is used within city limits (Delhi NCR). It is a no nonsense passenger car for point to point city commutes in relatively decent comfort. The AMT is certainly a boon in the bumper to bumper city traffic. The fuel economy is very good (~18kmpl) and the after sales service is not a problem with Maruti. Best of luck with your car search!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

We picked up a used Tiago AMT with 18K kms on the odo last year. This is being used by a colleague for both in city and out station trips and the car has been behaving extremely well. No complaints. The overall FE is around 18-20 kpl.

I wouldn't say the same with regards to TATA service though, who are hell bent on helping their customers SPEND MORE MONEY

So, if the TATA service is good in your part of town, would pitch the punch as a great car for a newcomer. [FYI The Tiago and the Punch use the same engine and GB combinations at this point in time]

BTW made the booking on 26 October but till now car has not been shipped yet. Only the allotment list is there where we're second in list. Is the 60 days plus waiting period normal?

Hi, Have you got your car delivered ? . I have made by booking on 29/01/2022 and have asked for a delivery in May.

The Punch boot can carry a 43inch Tv even with the parcel shelf closed.

But from the pic it looks like the hatch door cannot be closed with the parcel shelf there.

That's the norm than the exception. Even as far back as 2009, Maruti gave a friend an estimate of 10k for first service (but he had missed his cut-off date for warranty service). Luckily he called me, and we brought it down to about 4.6k

There is sufficient gap on top of the TV and the parcel tray resting point. It's my brother's car and i forgot to ask him to take a picture with parcel tray closed. And by the way the TV is standing on its default table top stands.

What is the expected pricing of the Turbo Punch? Apparently, it is coming out only in the top two trims?

Tata Punch-ed in good number in Jan 2022.

This is an achievement for Tata that Punch is sold with only one engine option. Speaks volumes for the trust Tata has gained in the past 3-4 years by building great products.

Is there any info on when the diesel Punch is being launched. Are there any plans for a proper auto gear box?

Maybe AutoSpy didn't follow that particular test mule till the very end, and it could have circled around the Harrier mule it was following to top-up at the petrol bunk. In that case, it could have been the turbo-petrol on a testing run.

But it's confirmed now - Only the turbo-petrol is on the cards for the Punch. Diesel is not coming.

Sorry, guys.

This would be great news and I'm one of the people waiting for it. There are media rumors that it would come by end of this month or by March'22. I hope it comes with both manual and AMT options. Else, it would be quite disappointing.

I had a look at this car and it's appealing from every angle. The 'thud' sound when you close the doors is very reassuring and there is no doubt that it is built to last many years. I feel that the back seat is a bit packed for adults due to the limited legroom space, but I think it's still acceptable with the thought that you're in one of the safest cars in India.

The sales team in one of the showrooms was very active. I just hope that the service team would be equally active and responsible in addressing customer concerns - Fingers crossed, but I made up my mind to take a chance with TATA.
