There are nine Abarths in my city, including mine. Much like how jeep wrangler owners wave at each other in America, we Abarth owners do the same be it with a flick of headlights, a rev of the engine or a nod of the head, we acknowledge each other. 6 years on and I still can't find any worthy replacement for an Abarth.

[@sumeetghai8867]

That was one hell of a car. A single stage remap can bump power to 200 hp. Drove one in kerala. Was absolutely blown away by sheer power and rigidity of the car. I think they left for good becuase indian dont value great cars . They just want cars with high average and fancy gizmo

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

Back in April 2004, our family was looking to replace the ageing Omni we had. I tried so hard to sell the Palio, but dad wasnt convinced about the Fiat dealerships and service network. Finally we settled for the 75hp Indica petrol. Weird as it may sound, it was a fun car (not dynamically ofcourse), had good grunt for its time. Finally in 2010, we got home the Linea 1.3L top end. Apart from the ground clearance, it was one lovely car. Not sure if you would agree, but the Multijet sounded nicest in the Linea compared to any other car it shared its engine bay with. The engine note when revved hard was lovely for a diesel. We finally sold it to our neighbors, but still parked outside our gate. Almost 3 years and I still regret selling it. What a lovely car it was, in fact it still is.

[@evoIndia]

Time to get it back maybe? 😅

I still remember how my friends questioned my decision to buy a Fiat but after spending almost 10 years with my T-jet, I can only continue to smile. Such a solid car with amazing performance. To top it all, how exclusive it feels (especially because of the Bronzo Scuro shade). Thank you for making something cheerful for us fiat folks :)

The first time i tested my friends Abarth punto in Kerala highways, i was simply blown away by its insane power. Whats funnier is that Abarth gives u no clue as to whats lurking inside the hood. Even the exhaust is just like the normal 1.2 Naturally aspirated petrol engines in the segment. But once i hit the accelerator, the massive torque followed by G force that throws us back on the seat was terrifyingly thrilling. Once you get used to the gear setup then its just point and shoot. Out on highways there is simply no beating the Abarth. I often used to exchange my Figo 1.5 tdci with my friends Abarth for occasional trips. The only downside in Abarth was a gearbox which did no justice and a completely messed up ergonomics that ruined an otherwise supreme beast on wheels. 👌👌👌

[@THEVENGENCEGURU]

I drive a Dodge Dart 1.4T with a DCT its the grandson of the Punto engine - makes a lot more power and torque. Insane amounts of FUN - it has an Alfa/Fiat derived chassis. My first daily driver was my parent's 2008 Swift DDiS, and I loved it. I had no idea Fiat was responsible for that engine. Growing up, catching an Abarth in the wild on our Indian roads was always a delight; thank you Fiat.

I own a Grande Punto of 7 years. I always liked it very much up untill recently when I drove the 3rd gen i20. Now I am loving my Grande Punto. The driving dynamics can never be matched. It lacks modern features but it doesn't matter when you take it to a winding patch of road. The drive is supreme. I will never be able to part from it no matter how many iterations of i20 there will be.

Great story Evo India... I have always been a great fan of Fiat. I have owned a Punto in the past and still haven't driven another car that is as involving to drive as the Punto, this side of 20 lacs. That being said the story should have featured the Fiat 500 and the Avventura. The 500 even had a Abarth version. These 2 models showcase Fiat's uniqueness and their willingness to venture into unchartered territory. Long live Fiat!!

[@evoIndia]

The 500 Abarth also had an AMT gearbox. Remember how bad that was?

[@7rahe13]

I couldn't believed Palio and Puntos would ever get center stage from you, as felt most of the Car journalists have tendency to be bias. But you guys just blewed off with this hatrick. Bravo, couldn't believe. Thanks for having this video done. Palios are a gem of cars. The car over-engineered for India , which were after light weight skinny tire tins :p. 100hp with Itallian DNA, high revving engines n feel alive hydraulic steering wheel, what more can a petrol head asked for. Thanks thanks for making this. still driving one, 2002 born Palio 1.2 elx with 1.13 lac km on odo, with 2 decades of driving on trash Mumbai Goa offroad highway

Thank you! And here’s wishing you many more happy miles with your car!

[@djmhyde]

greetings from Brasil! over here the FIat Palio is a very popular car, actually the last variant of this model was sold here until 2021, was the lightweight pick-up truck Strada and even having such an old project, still was the leader in sales in the category and today Fiat sells a new version of the Strada but in a modern platform here most of the Palio cars was sold with a 1,0 litre FIRE flex engine (it accepts petrol or ethanol, or even a mix of both in any proportion) and is a very popular cheap used car, and is a very easy sight on brazilian roads, but we don't have any diesel engines in these cars (actually in brazil any vehicles that aren't trucks, lorries, buses or 4x4 with low gear can't legally have diesel engines) we also have a sports version, the Palio 1.8R, with 115 hp a good trivia aswell: the Palio Adventure was designed in Brazil and most of the Weekend models was sold in this trim level over here, and we have this trim level for the Strada pick-up aswell

[@sidzworld5802]

Thank you for this Sirish. Gave a rush seeing all these beauties together and some others which were not featured here but got notable mentions. Was also happy to see cars of my FIAT friends in the footage. I still remember the period from 2008 to 2010 as I bought my first car with my own money, the Palio Stile 1.6 Petrol and in the following years was present for the launch of the FIAT Linea at Taj Land's End. In 2012, I picked another shooter from the FIAT stable - the legendary TJet+. Both my FIATs gave me nothing else but joy for all the years that I had them. Sadly had to give up my TJet to a friend from the community since I got a truck (Isuzu VCross) in 2019 but I still have my Palio 1.6. That 1.6 motor still acts like therapy for me on the tarmac laden roads of Pune. FIAT India - so much promise and so much sadness at the same time. Will hang on to my Palio 1.6 for as long as I can.

And wishing you many more miles filled with smiles in your Palio 👍🏼

Engine response was good & a fantastic milage ( diesel ) of 22- 23. 5 km/ l n that too at 120 - 150 speeds , never had to shift for overtaking once you've reached a speed of 60kmph . been taking curves at high speeds with no roal . Have done 600 kms stretches , beautiful handaling in city n Highway the only drawback was spared n showroom response . Picked up this car after it had done 130000 km , I did bout 70000 km n the connecting conked out , spent rs.60000/ the engine came back to life , did another 40000km but had to sell it cause o non availability / expensive spares .

Shirish - Gone but Not forgotten is one of the best things EVO has given the Auto Enthusiast to Look and cherish the glorious Automotive past we had back till 2010 It really pains that really good cars cos (catering to Enthusiast) could not cater to like of Indian consumers.. Ford, Mitsubishi, Fiat, VW, Cars like Yeti, X trail, Corsa, Adventure, Peugot 307 were not understood well Also what pains is the todays craze for SUV, mini suv, Soft roaders, which have undermined all other forms of automotive body styles. and with Electric being a neartime reality ...

I cried.... I do that each time I see the Punto Abarth. Because that was the time I was out in the market to buy my second car... First one being the Palio. My heart used to pull me towards Abarth or even the Linea Tjet. But the agony was such that Fiat who was headquartered in Mumbai did not have any showroom in the city.... only Fiat can do this. Also, despite die hard lover of Abarth and Tjet... I dared not to test drive even once because then all sense would then go out of the window and heart would get me a Fiat.... But this time I had to let the head rule... and got myselves a Hyundai Verna.

Crazy to think that they didn’t have a dealer in Mumbai when Abarth was launched!!!!

Proud owner of 2016 avventura been 5yrs now but looks and drive still just like day 1 . good cars are not valued in our market .

I drive the face-lift emotion Linea in beautiful Sun beam gold shade. It is very difficult to think of replacement in 20 lakh territory today. It's a special Car and unparalleled expressway cruiser.

My former neighbor had bought palio and it sounded like jet engine. It was mammoth and everybody looked it with surprised.

My father was a great fan of Fiat. His first car was a FIAT 1100 Delight. He drove it for over 2 lakh kilometres. We later had the FIAT SIENNA 1.7 Turbo DIESEL which was later replaced by a FIAT PETRA 1.9 DIESEL. Fiat tried their best and bought in the best India had ever seen. Sometimes I feel they were little ahead of their times. Always a car that one will buy with thair heart and will never regret

[@evoIndia]

So true!

[@samarthbangalore6533]

Fiats are ❤️! Still miss my Fiat Palio 1.3 Diesel, such a great car it was!

Then and now , Fiat is engine supplier in India ! We can't expect every manufacturer to get down to our "Standard" 😁 like Maruti / Hyundai. Whatever Fiat launched our people always complained. Riding position , rubber gear shift blah blah ... Like any other Fiat owners, few niggles aside ,I'm a very happy and satisfied owner of Abarth Punto ! That well sorted chassis, handling, dynamics, and that steering feedback ❤️, no cars of today come close !

[@evoIndia]

Especially steering feedback 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@muraliparameswaran4182]

I had a fiat palio 2002 model bought on 2009 used it for 3 years fond memories

[@pradeepsundaram6381]

Still drive my Fiat Linea MJD from 2010. Service is a pain but am unable to buy a different car coz none of the electronic steering in other cars can match the presence of Fiat hydraulic steering. It will be a lot of great nostalgic memories when I move to a new car.

[@amitchaudhri2515]

Fiat Abarth Punto is one of the hottest n most powerful hatchback today in India!

[@evoIndia]

👍🏼

[@varunganeriwalla9579]

DISAGREE with the last 50 seconds. I've owned a Punto for 10 years, and it's started rusting, leaking, squeaking after 6 months! What a car to drive. Stuck on Yokohamas and I've not owned a better car to drive since. Sirish, you're the best we have. Hope to see a collab between yourself and SVP.

[@evoIndia]

Sorry to hear about your car troubles. And thanks for the compliments 🙏
