Fiat Grande Punto 90HP - Detailed Ownership Review

[shailinder]

@Jayadev, One of my friend bought Vento Petrol few months back and there was some issue related to left pulling. They kept car with them for 10-11 days and tested so many things. Later handed over in perfect condition.

But the point here is that my friend stand on there neck and asked for the compensation for not being able to use car for so many days and to our utter surprise, VW offered him compensation of Rs. 1200/ per day. Later on he negotiated and replaced current HU with Passat HU (HU was available as IPL edition for Vento TL) and now enjoying..

So the moral of the story is check with Fiat and ask for the compensation. You never know they might act on it.

All the best.

* I understand it is not a warranty case, but what is the harm in trying.

@ jayadev, am a huge fan of Fiat cars and very sad to read about your white beauty. Don worry mate, very soon she will roar. At times, they say God will prevent a bigger tragedy through such incidents. I know its easy to say but nothing bigger than life and very glad that Punto managed to safeguard its occupants with such great effect !
