Help in Deciding a Hatch in Rs.6 - 8 Lakh Range (Booked Punto 2012 Emotion)

[hemantp]

Nothing wrong. I think you did the right thing. It is good to reject something which you dont like. Do a thorough PDI with this one too. Look for small/big things one by one.

Waiting for the update.

Thanks all for the consolation.

I did PDI the 2nd car today and failed too

This time we observed bad sized plastic and incorrect fitting of speaker cover on front door which SA said cannot be rectified. Please see details here.

Hi Hemant,

Which showroom in Bangalore you have booked.

I have booked at Concorde.

They are not giving me idol, perfume but free polishing (which I am not interested in).

Still not decided on reverse parking as was concerned if they would do a clean job, but might think of adding - I will too ask for 50%.

Fiat Punto Active On Road Price is 6.45 after 21k discount

Why you should get freebies like Idol from the dealer? better have it from a divine shrine or blessed one from a temple.

perfume-will they give you fragrance of your choice?

they gave it to me though (ambipur) but I threw it next day, rather than fresh smell it was stinking like alcohol

Still not decided on reverse parking as was concerned if they would do a clean job, but might think of adding - I will too ask for 50%.

I suggest reverse camera rather than sensors, better if you can get it done from reputed car accessory shop you may get it in bargain price too.

@ manjuns,

Congrats buddy for the beauty. Do update with dealership experience and pics. Happy and safe motoring

@ hemantp, Sad to hear about your PDI experience. But very prudent of you to exercise caution during PDI

Sorry for OT but Jayadev i prefer parking sensors. Cameras have a blind spot and their view is restricted at certain angles. But you face no such problems in sensors. And trust me i rarely use the rear view camera in my Aria!

Hi All,

Thanks for your suggestions, comments and encouragement, I finally got Punto 2012 Emotion 1.3 MJD on 1st March.

This was after I went to check 3rd car on 25th Feb, everything happened quickly after that. More details later as now I am doing some small circle rounds to get accustomed with the vehicle (I just learned driving 4 wheeler).
