My Italian Horse in Bossa Nova White - Fiat Punto 90HP

[Thetraveller]

Red one looks stunning. Is it a paint job or stickering? Those alloys look really great Real eye catcher.

I am interested in putting some add-ons to mine too. Don't know what to go for! TW color is pretty tough to mod.

It's a stickering job.

Stunning looks and the RED one really ROCKS !!

The red one has 17" rims! :-)

How is the ride quality on 17" rims? Any problems faced with suspension/rattles/steering after fitting those rims?

+100.

It is still good, but when compared to a stock punto, it is a bit bouncy & jarring as told by the owner's friend.

No issues with suspension, steering or any rattles.

That car has Kicker comps, Kicker co-axials & Kicker subwoofer. I did not notice the amps.

Even I dont like too many stickers & prefer a cleaner look but got to admit, that red Punto did attract a lot of attention.

UPDATE: Really happy with FIAT!

My Punto had a rear wheel bearing issue as mentioned in detail over here.

After shooting off mails to Mr. Mangesh, the parts arrived in just two days, that is, on Monday. Both the service advisor & the spares manager from Fortune Cars accommodated my car the next day itself.

I promptly gave my car to the A.S.S. & I was returned the car the same day itself after replacing the wheel bearings & testing. They drove my car for about 11 kms.

NOT JUST THAT, they even did two free upgrades on my car. The rear dead axle was upgraded (reference pic attached) & the power steering pipe was upgraded. Also the AC pipe was found to be loose, so even that was rectified & the AC refrigerant was refilled.

Total cost : Rs. 0/- (everything taken care by warranty)

Total experience was really impressive. Reasons -

1) I have not seen the higher ups in any car manufacturer to be so approachable & so helpful.

2) I have also not seen an A.S.S. who is proactively upgrading the cars free of cost unless there are serious issues reported, except in case of XUV5OO recently.

Overall I am happy now (after a bit of frustration) & my faith in FIAT is restored.

Again, who bumped this time Raj.?

Put one Drishti Ganapathi Photo in your Punto.

This time it was an Alto who rear ended. There was no hard braking or anything of that sort. My car was standstill. My car has a Ganpati idol.
