| VERDICT The 1.4 FIRE engine was a disappointment but the smaller 1.2 is anything but. It revs freely with torque spread strongly across the band ensuring good driveability both in the city and on the highway. The interiors are bare basic and rear seat passengers will be cramped. On the road though the Punto is surprisingly composed and dynamically accomplished. There is little body roll and she steers with precision though a little more feedback from the steering would have been better. And the ride quality is utterly brilliant. What’s even better is the price. Rs 4 lakh ex-showroom in Pune is unbelievably good value-for-money for what is a very attractive looking car with great road manners. Definitely the pick of the Grande Punto range. |
