Interiors and looks
The Punto is spacious and has ample space. It has features and gadgets which are designed for human comfort. Too many gadgets surround the cabin which is really not required. It has increased the cost of the vehicle which is just a waste. On the other hand the interiors of the i20 are carved with perfection. You might feel at home while driving this wonderful machine. Gadgets are present in this car too but they are not going to divert your attention from driving.
Engine and feel
The Italians have installed a lot of power inside the Punto. Well driving the Punto is simply superb. You can feel the car being designed especially for you. The Hyundai i20 on the other side is subtle when it comes to speed. You might feel slow at first but then suddenly a lonely warrior steps in the picture when you are redlining the car. Both of them are simply superb and deliver top notch speed. The Punto has a sort of grunt in it which is unleashed when the car is doing red line gear change. The i20 on the other hand as said is subtle and has enough power for being laid back and turned into a power house.
Handling quality
The Punto is crystal clear and handles like butter. God knows what the Italians have done to the car. It handles perfect, you feel like having it more, more and more. You never feel like going home and resting as the Punto is your home. The i20 feels large and yes it is bigger than the Punto. Handling the heavier i20 is bit difficult on turns. Well if you are cornering the vehicle then the best option would be the Punto. It handles like a bike on turns.
Time to go to ATM
Well this is a tough question since both of them are perfect. If cost is in your mind and you need a car which can last longer than the usual machine, the best option is the i20. But wait a second, what about the Fiat. It is a superb piece of engineering. A little bit of more cash and you have an all-rounder. The Punto is the best option which is available in the market which can head on the i20. Cost of the Punto is bit high but it surely is worth the value.
