Fiat India — Poor performance of fiat punto evo 1.2 petrol

Address:

I have been using Fiat Punto 1.2 Petrol. The pick up is pathetic and driving on slopes is becoming very difficult. With AC ON, the vehicle is having hard time picking up and is not able to get the thrust. Even in normal straight roads, I have to give a lot of accelerator to move the vehicle. Adding to that, the mileage is literally less than 10. Have tried to raise this issue couple of times in Fiat Service Centres (Bangalore with KHT and Vecto), however they are clueless and are giving answers like that it is expected! With same range of engine and power we have better cars in market giving better performance. I would suggest not to opt for Fiat cars until you are really sure that the Service guy actually knows what he is dealing with. Else it is just waste of money in India!!

To summarize, I would say that Punto Evo (1.2 Petrol) is totally a slow machine which consumes more fuel and provides poor performance.
