Recommended Posts

Hi,

Any G Punto owners out there? can give your review on the car especially in the 5 areas:

 

1. Price

2. Power

3. Consumption

4. Workmanship/ reliability

5. Car service by TT

 

I have tested drive the car but find that it is underpower and handling not so good. Beside that I was told that the car service by TT was not so good. Your advice pls. Cheers.

went see see other day

- for 58k (add 4k for sunroof n moonroof), its quite pricy

- power is poor for a car that size with a 1.4 engine only 70+ horses, expect to be eaten up down left right by lorries, they got engines 3x ur size, torque 4x urs, and even twice more horses than u

-on paper look attractive, in real world i doubt so

- vehicle seems slipshodly put together, go poke around in depth to notice why

-no comment on service

 

u want handling, get a citroen/peugeot/renault/ford for that price range

You're obviously very bias against fiat don't you?I guess you have not own a fiat before and not to mention driven it for a prolong period.All those perception of yours about Fiat quality and suchs are in a bygone era.

 

You lightly compare it to a lorry..may I quote" expect to be eaten up down left right by lorries, they got engines 3x ur size, torque 4x urs, and even twice more horses than u

" .......are you kidding us my friend?Most if not all of us here drive a car which doesn't has what you mention above.

 

I can only said that the handling is superb for a 1.4L conti car when you cruise along NSH.

Let's be fair with your remarks .

Dear drivers,

 

I have confirmed my order today becos of a good deal & also my CFO was very please with the car due to the make & safety feature.

 

But I have a few questions for the driver here & hope you can answer some of them as I need to give my answer to SE tomorrow.

 

1) Chose between a manual & Auto

Wanted a manual but my CFO also driving so may have to stick with a auto. I also like the dualogic cos still can shift the gear like arcade game type.

But the cost of maintenance + repair will be higher? My se told me auto FC is better than manual. is that true? Need to fork out 3k more... :angry:

 

2) Ask for Abarth's rim logo & he told me no more already & need to book online. Is that true? Can I still get to purchase somewhere or I can ask him to throw in?

 

3) Ask for exhaust extension muffler but he said have not come in yet & cannot throw in? Is there any bro already got the muffler somewhere else? How much?

 

4) Was told to sign another pare value transfer form but I told him I dun own a car & ask him why i need to sign. He said that it is just the LTA regulation?

 

5) I was told I will get a Cat E instead of a Cat A, is there any different for me as an owner beside that TTS has to fork out more money? No effect on us?

 

Please help to answer my qns. :P

 

P.S: Sorry to use your thread, cannot post till I have 15 posting [sweatdrop]

 

Thank you

Well after my test drive, and surfing the Fiattitude webbie and reading all the various plus comments, I finally made my decision to get a Grande Punto and will collect it next week..

 

I guess the Fiattitude members already know abt this as I've made it known to them in their webbie...

as for the opc punto , its a good fren whom has to change to focus due to family size restraints , he still loves his fiat ride .. [sweatdrop]

 

maybe you could go to club fiat webby and check out owners' comments then hearsay from those guys with no comments [laugh]
