Hello All,
I am planning to book a car next month and searched a lot. Took test drive of Swift petrol and liked it. But, I was searching online about fiat punto and found that owners of punto are much more delighted than swift.
Now, if we compare price then punto base model is costing more than swift and they are just giving extra accessories such as audio system and power windows. In this festive season they are offering "Absolute" versions with GPS, bluetooth, seat covers etc. Apart from accessories puto is lacking on power in front of swift and it has low resale value with a bad reputation of after sales service.
Please help me choose the best one among these two because swift has some advantages over punto but I have seen some people booking punto over swift and they are delighted. I am still trying to find that why they have chosen punto over swift?
Is the mileage of punto petrol 1.2 is higher than swift Lxi?
No, Swift would give more mileage.
Is it better in handling than swift?
Both are good handlers but breaks in Punto is better than Swift (Lxi/Vxi) model specifically.
Is it better in space than swift?
hmmm..I think Swift would be better. Jayadev commnented on that in following thread. Please refer to it.
Better interiors than swift?
No, Swift interiors are better from touch and feel angle. Even otherwise Swift's dash is better layed out than Punto.
Any proud owner of punto 2012 (petrol) or swift petrol who can get me out of this confusion?
