Experience With My Italian Ride - Fiat Punto 90HP

Absolutely sure buddy, punto changes its characteristics as soon as driver changes his driving manners.

Thanks Vivek. Have asked him to drive at higher revs and check if he still feels engine response is sluggish. Will update here as soon as i hear from him.

@Shankar, one question. Why did your friend change the oil to Bosch synthetic oil? Did he maintain the same viscocity grade recommended bu Fiat? Also, its better to change oil filter along with oil change. Has he done that? Am afraid, during warranty period, its better to stick to manufacturer's recommendations and get any engine related work done at authorised service stations. Btw, Fiat uses Selenia synthetic oil, which is fairly good enough oil itself.

Yes he changed the oil filter along with changing to Bosch Synthetic oil. I think he used 5W40 grade fully synthetic oil which cost 1250rs/L.

Awesome pics Vivek. If the needles in Speedo console could be changed to the ones in Linea it would look much better (Don't know if it could be done just a suggestion)

Hey Vivek

Beautiful car. Nice pictures. Did you get rid of the extra decals (the sport decals and strips on the door)? What is the city FE you get in your Punto? My friend is looking for a FTD car and I said Punto 90 bhp :D

Thanks buddy.

Its doable but never thought of doing the same, let me see into it. I'll surely try if there won't be any warranty issue.

Thanks buddy, nope its punto 90 Hp not the punto sport. Usually city FE is 12-15 due to heavy traffic and some times i manages to get even 21. FTD???

Technically they are same, but visual differences are evident in the form of decals and all.
