- On the outside it's a facelifted Grande Punto but on the inside, it conceals Fiat's new MultiAir engine: a technology that claims to give more power whilst using less fuel. In this video, Vicki Butler-Henderson tries out the most powerful Sporting model to find out if the Evo is worthy adversary to other hot hatchbacks.

The Fiat Punto saved our lives in a 110km/h highway crash. Forever thankful and I've missed my FIAT ever since. Fiance got the 500X because of how much she loved the Punto!
you forget style and panache, no beemer or audi panzer wagon has either. this is a great little car
Keep it up Vicki. I'm so glad to actually watch real reviews with facts and opinions derived from the facts.
Have been pleasantly impressed with my Grande Punto Dynamic so far and haven't had to fix it once, (let alone again tomorrow, fingers crossed), really like the look of this Evo Multi-Air...
Nice review
Great video👍
I have a grande punto and i like the steering of this car !
Is a electric steering not mechanic and for this is different !
Nice jacket, Viki.
Punto Evo Sport 1.4 Multiair Turbo my wife got it this week^^. Amazing Car *Crossover Black* 17"" McTwist.
I like this car..
Me too... And i like you ..
Me too, maybe isn't too fun to drive, because got long gear changes, but what I need is a low fuel engine consume vehicle for the city, and this one is a very good choice to me
I think i'll get one of these but only if i can get a good bit off the sticker price seeing they loose there value so fast!
(how much below sticker would you say get off one of these???)
just traded mine in for the new skoda fabia vrs. loved this car. one of the best engines i've driven
Is the automatic gearbox reliable?
Nice car ! ... very informative review.
Millions of ordinary common people will never notice or know what you are on about..the steering🤪
That thud @ 0:34 when she closes the door is awesome unlike tinny japanese.
i've got the previous shape of this fiat (grande punto) with a A/M + / - shifts , i like the car so much but changing the gears while driving is so tough and aggressive as if i'm driving a manual transmition car without a clutch
do any one have this model agree with me??
i just need your kind reply because i think i have a problem with my car
Fiat FTW!!. I've got a Grande Punto Sporting and a Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo :D
love it when the turbo kicks in :P
looking to buy 1 of these probs not the sports 1 tho, i love to look of the car and what you get with it for the price, but thing that is worrying me the most is, does the car go wrong much at all? or is it a fairly reliable car.
Amazing sport car
Wow, that is pretty awesome! Very good comprimise for a car of this price, pretty good power and pace, but 50mpg for a turbo petrol is pretty decent!
i love this car
@theimacduderox in the last decade yes. but modern fords are well equiped and reliable.
How much is this punto evo?
@darqikno
You mean the current Focus? Yeah just a reskin of the same old first gen model. But the newest one is all together new. Irks me though that the US mean not get the 2nd gen Focus of did and no one really noticed.
Best looking Punto by FAR.
@marcoemanuele WHY??? I WONT TO BUY ONE PLS SHARE WITH ME IF U HAD THIS CAR...
@u1430 pmsl hit a nerve?
nice car, would still go for the ABARTH model though...
the door is still open as she drives off
these cars though are a cut above the rest at the moment.
better mpg,nice looking,full of gadgets,
the sport is nice in red or white
i Get mine on Aprile !!! :)
Nice
hell yes
em ti tha lege h poulhmenh oti ths aresei italiko?
Sounds good, even if the steering and gears are compromised to suit the average driver rather than tuned for racing.
So does it beat the frenchies and the polo? I assume it does then.
do u have fiat
Very good Car!
@Djordjeblrs i spent 15.800 euro,but i get the 1.6 16v multijet 120 cv
@turbo311 Well...mabe with the Chrisler/Fiat jointventure you will now be able to buy Fiat´s in the US. lets see.
I love you Fiat
why oh why they've trashed the Giugiaro front design....
it looks less refined
Simply loved the new looks... By the way, isn't all Fiat Abarth always a 3-door car?
2 thumbs up on new fuel-saving multiair engine! I heard it even won engine of the year...
was looking at the gp in white today 105 bhp. alot are saying its sluggish and the sport is best to go for 135 bhp. but the down side is no 5dr .
@215alessio Get the mito or the punto evo sport !
@Zantek007 You're comparing apples to oranges. The two are completely different cars and markets. One's a super mini with performance and the other is a world class street rally performance car.
@u1430 I can't imagine that you can't stop flaming the Ford.. :D Did the Ford anything to you?
I wih there was a better biew on the interior, like sitting in the back, sizes and dashboard.
@FrozenCrewGr like 15 years ago...
Request: Could you verify the mutli-air system figures? Just curious how much of the claim is true! Thanks
I think you are missing most of the principle of multiair system... It's not just anoth
been back again im looking to get 1 but i aint 100% sure.the sport was 15,500 i could not test drive it. so i tested the gp 5 dr 105 bhp. awsome to drive nice and smooth but....felt like it had no power. love the inside though...i want the sport in a 5 door. but sadley its only in a 3........so i am looking and testing every car in my price range to see whats best....this is top dog at the min. fiesta is second this is better car fords a better ride
Remember when the Punto scored zero stars in Euro NCAP crash testing in 2017, becoming the first car ever to be given such a rating??
It's a bit crazy though, because originally it scored the maximum 5 stars. It was later changed to 0 stars because it "didn't add anything new after being released". Stuff that they wanted: lane assistance and seatbelt warning(?!).
yeah i dont think the ford is better maybe handles a bit better but this looks better inside and out. better mpg too and better engine. on hp too fiat had this for 199 a month fords was 235
@antonio20001 All the people love Fiat
@turbo311
You mean the Fusion Hybrid. If you translate imperial mpg you get 39mpg US. And on the EPA cycle usually EU ratings are optimistic, so that translates to about the same as the Fusion Hybrid.
I always hear of European cars w/ amazing mpg, but they usually are very small (like this one) & when they get here they usually end up with lower fuel economy.
I think the closest is with a diesel, but even then for the same size, it hasn't topped the hybrids in mpg, judging by the Jetta diesel.
seems like a good, descent car for city and some motorway driving.
A great small car! :)
@theimacduderox yes :) i buy a Fiat i love Fiat ! Fiat the Great !
I’d so call her back
@u1430 fiat cars have problems with electrical parts , stylish yes but not reliable. has a nice look though
this car is high quality for the price. plus you can get italian flag graphic on the side...how cool is that..lol
She’s fit❤️😍
Great little cars but this was the start of all cars having features like hill start etc. that is pointless. Would also be better on fuel if they were smaller and lighter. You don't need 130bhp in a road going car.
If you had that much power in you mini or imp you would be winning races
@melforever27 Hmm well you do tend to use those two things alot when driving.
@u1430 Amazing car just but it and drive it to feel it!!!
I'd get the abarth model
@lexusfanla indeed :D
@u1430 Did you honestly think I was serious? I clearly mentioned those tests as a joke so you could have a bit of a chuckle. There is no need to become enraged at a CZcams user for no reason.
Fit a tmc box you have abarth straight line speed due to the lower kerb weight and equal power.
@u1430 The Fiesta passed Top Gear's industry standard, "Royal Marines Beach Assault" test as well as the "Chased by Baddies through a Shopping Center" test. The Punto has no such accolades.
??
well they clearly work, hence the car moving..nd both of those r kinda subjective (feel is different for every1)
all i was saying was tht she seems to rate it down cuz of this, evn tho the car has awesome new technology nd all tht...just sayin
Green.... Toyota MR2 (Tuned)
damn. that red dot buys it! i'm getting this car. LOL
0:47 anyone realised that the door wasn't closed
fiat made a lot of bad cars in last 10-15 years. But this, the grande punto, the old punto (still alive and works well!) and some other like 500, doblò, bravo, stilo are really good! Cons for new panda, (old) multipla, 600, the 500 of '90th.
i've a doblò of 2005, and still don't have problems after 60000km! And still arrive over 160km/h (where permitted*)
woow a red spot: so hardcore
As we're used to, where's electronics, there's trouble. I get electronics stuff, love it, but cars that rely so much on it don't get good reliability marks after a while.
Looks cool though.
no seatbelt @0:47!!!
but still they deserve credit for trying to evolve
50 miles to the gallon? Thought it was 41?
It's weird how we got the hps in India and Europe got the EPS. It's usually the other way around haha! The HPS is amazing on the punto in India
@The24joe24 dude, fiats r good....
So a gas turbo 4 cyl gets similar milage to a Prius? Why don't we get this stuff here? Why does the US thing hybrids are the only solution? Damn you Toyota.
she makes it sound like the huge long list of positives are irrelevant because of the steering wheel and the gear change!
1:27 =)
Like it whn she says "so it would feel sportier"
big burst of turbo??? the girl like it rough...
I did like car magazines much better when not every 2nd word was environment :-(
fiat dont make many cars come to think of it.
The punto's design isn't as attractive as the fiesta's, yet it looks more spacious. @mrjost55, Puta means ass-hole
@The50SEVEN
That will change. Not quickly enough for some. The FUSION and the MONDEO will be one car soon. The FOCUS will be turned over for 2011 or 2012 (can't recall). Still not FALCON (Aus), a coupe version will be the New MUSTANG in 2014 while the sedan may be the next TAURUS. I'm not clear on everything that FORD is doing in the next few years but it is a lot. Not nearly as much as GM but still...
chrome mirrors and red brake calipers are just too much....
i hate ads
I own the 1.4
77 horsepower yes I know it's not the turbo. but it ain't all that. Better off with the Fords
I heard something weird @ 2:05
Pound foots of torque..
and I am still in the dilemma between the punto and the Mito
@anassgame :)
@stephen98841272 haha
@Ktmzqw No mate, she definitely closed it! Ya can see her close it and hear it close
