    [URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/profile/14794"]Sharma.neeraj1511[/URL] I agree with Joy here. The offer is good, but with the condition, i think it would be best to avoid it. The EU cars are far more complicated in terms of electrical repairs and once you start repairing it, it usually continues in a loop going from one fault to the other. Also, as Joy mentioned, the 1.4 is not the best engine for the Punto. It has very low fuel efficiency and feels underpowered.

    [USER="14794"]Sharma.neeraj1511[/USER] Simply walk away from that car. it seems to be plagued by electrical problems and my friend, Its worse than having mechanical issues. service centers will ask you to replace the entire wiring($$$) and any auto electrician will test your patience in future and niggling issues will keep resurfacing. the 1.4 petrol any ways is not an engine to die for. it felt lethargic due to the weight of the car and the multijet diesel is much better option of the 2 be it 75hp or 90hp model. a petrol swift is any day a better car than the fiat and not to mention trouble free. if you love the punto, simply raid online classifieds and find a better deal for yourself. Regards..

    Thank you guys for the help. 1st thing it's a petrol car. 2nd, I cannot get it checked by authorised Fiat service centre as the seller of the car is a car dealer and will not allow the car to be inspected. Also, I saw an airbag failure message on display console along with steering controls not working or I couldn't get those to work as the dealer is not aware of any functions regarding steering controls. Also, I cannot get the Bluetooth connectivity available in the car. Is there any switch to turn them off and on?, I also saw a new mount being installed on the car which was relatively new. Please provide your thoughts as some of you own one.Thanks
