Yes, Punto's MID figures are very close to reality. Currently am in testing phase for the same. Have done @ 10-12 tankful method mileage calculation under various driving conditions in past few months. Compared manually calculated figure with MID. Variance is as low as 4% to 7%. In my case, MID's mileage is usually lesser than tankful to tankful figures.
Have you ever felt any rattling in your car? My friend's Punto 75 BHP had started to rattle and he suspects it's from dashboard. Dealership guys say its normal in Indian conditions. I asked him to blast the SA who told this to him but he is totally disappointed. Also he is facing significant turbolag. Will that be due to poor quality fuel? While on a weekend trip with friends his car couldn't keep up with mine even though both has same engine. He has lost faith in service center so he asked me to post here. What can be done to solve his issues?
