Well my father got a second hand Grande Punto Emotion in july 2015 which he finally sold off in february this year. the car has a 1.3 litre diesel engine which is an absolute fuel guzzler!
This car needs so much fuel! The car gave us an average of hardly 11 kmpl in city, and that is ridiculous. We had paid 5.25 lac for the 1 year used car and I can say that was by far the worst investment we did ever!
The car being a diesel one gets very, I mean very noisy not only on the outside but you can also hear the engine rattle inside the car with the windows rolled up.
After the car was purchased we ended up spending almost 80-90000 rupees on its up keep. the spares are difficult to find and are crazy expensive! Why does fiat have such a poor after sales network! I hate it!
The car gave us very little joy but a host of expenses and headaches. we were eventually convinced that it is not worth owning and running this car with such poor performance. we sold it for a meagre 3.1 lac rupees.
Friends this car does not even fetch you a decent resale value. The good thing is fiat is not selling this car any more, but it is readily available in the second hand market. My sincere advice to everyone is, please do not buy it! You will 100% have a tough time and you are sure to regret.
