Hats off to you man.Its a great decision to move on to fiat family.Congrats on your upgrade.

BHPians are so much in love with Fiats! First it was the Linea raining here, and now it's the Grande Punto! I guess 3 people have already booked it!
Anyways it's a great car to have and the most beautiful too!

Looks like the Grande Punto is the new Swift of Indian Roads

Cheers buddy- congrats

simply_sunny001 · 29th June 2009, 13:25

Wow, i never expected an existing Swift user to swap Swift for Punto, but its cool as at least the car looks good and fresh compared to Swift.

Which version/color of Punto have you opted for ?

Please also share your buying experience with ABS motors as i reckon they are a new TATA-FIAT dealer in GGN.

cheers

Congratulations on the RED PUNTO EP, it just looks smashing in that RED.

.anshuman · 29th June 2009, 21:14

Thanks everybody, it was surely a decision from my heart.

i got my Punto after day long hassle,i had to drive to faridabad and back for some work and the highway manners impressed me a lot,the biggest surprise was the ride which is even better than most hatchbacks like verna,fiesta and city.

As i have not driven my Punto much it will be very early to comment,give me a day or two ill post a detailed Swift vs Punto review.

This is my old car and new car,sorry for the poor quality pic i dont have my camera with me.
