My first car happened by accident, though it was a second hand Santro Zipdrive, I just loved the way I could learn and abuse it without bothering about dents and repairs. After 2 years I gave the 14 year old away to a friend who was a starter and liked my vehicle. By now i had realized that i don't want a city car and my most drives were long drives out of the city, so comfort, safety and sturdiness took the president, With it, most of the Maruti cars were ruled out. For the same reason, diesel was preferred over petrol. As Maruti & Tata were using the same diesel engine and with 4 star safety rating, I chose the Fiat Grand Punto and loved the test drive too. Though the buying experience was not all that great, the vehicle hasn't asked for anything more. Periodic service was more of voluntary from my side. Car Manual itself recommends oil change once in a year or 10k on mileage. It has being absolute joy till now with all the out of city drives, in fact Punto has allowed my family to push ourselves to go far places in car, sometimes 750 km drives at a stretch without a fuss and with comfort level a notch higher compared to other cars, we could cover some of the off beat places as well. All i have bothered till now in my 60 Km run is brake pads and all tyres once. Overall very much satisfied with the choice made and all the good memories my family could garner all along. Thank you Fiat Punto.
