Why does this 4.5 year old video look better than most of the recent videos?

I have cried many times thinking about the exit of Fiat from India. I own a grande Punto. Only Fiat owners can feel the pain. Last year I bought an s cross (without selling my grande Punto). I could barely drive it for 1 year. Sold it yesterday. Booked an abarth Punto. This might be the last Fiat car available in indian market. I'm happy that I can have a few more years of joyous driving experience. Thank you Fiat. You will never die in the hearts of thousands of Indians like me. Thanks for giving us wonderful cars. ❤️ Waiting for the arrival of my brilliant black abarth Punto. !! This purchase is my tribute to Fiat. I will never sell both the Puntos. There is no replacement for a Fiat. ! Thank you powerdrift for giving me that final push for taking this decision. U guys rock.!!

The best review ever , last part is spot on Indians doesnt deseve good cars. We need mileage oriented plastic cars. FIAT we miss you 😍

The intro of the Abarth gave me cold shivers !! Proud owner of Punto .

Abarth makes torque greater than mahindra bolero and it has more horse power than honda civic. At a price of 11 L. it has best looks and build quality. India do not deserve FIAT and they are leaving.

Rohan predicted the future long ago ,now we enthusiast don't have much options on Indian automobile market Its so sad all Performance hatches are now long gone 💔 Proud owner of Figo

‘This car needs us’ is one of the most hurtful statements I have heard as it is sad to see Fiat wrapping up in the Indian market. Proud to a Fiat owner

polo gt : you wanna race ? Fiat punto Abarth : you gonna cry kid 😂🤣🤣

Even after 3 years of making this video I have never seen Indian car review with such amazing production value. Amazing work.

"If we buyers don't buy the right cars" - that's when I subbed for this channel... And the way they highlighted the brakes and the rims, just wow. Breathtaking!!!!

Videos such as these must be an eye-opener for everyone who get enticed by folding ORVMs, wireless chargering pad, BIIIIGGG Touch screen displays and then ofcourse the mileage and 'resale value' but not over the things that actually should matter like the ride, handling, cornering, safety and strength. I have a 10 year old White 90Hp Punto and I drive it with my 16" black alloys, projector HID with blackened headlamps, rear smoke tinted tail lights, Black roof wrap and a kickass sound system and it will always make heads turn, one hell of a car and truly built like a gorgeous tank!!!

Okay Powerdrift, I took a giant leap of faith and bought the Abarth Punto, got it delivered just today. I hope the automakers don't lose faith in India and keep coming up with more exciting cars! Honda Hugely disappointed with the Civic.

Bought a Punto Abarth from the last batch of manufacturing last year in March 2019. Simply amazing car , 🚀 , bang for the buck .

I'm not a FanBoy of any cars ,but good cars.As a proud owner of Abarth Punto (which is also my first car),this video is my favourite of PD,now my four year old kids started loving this,especially the intro of Abarth Punto.They call it "Fire Abarth" ! Sure its a Fire ! :)

Friends and relatives called me crazy for having bought a Punto. Just finished the test drive and bought it. I have learned driving on a Willys left hand drive at the age of 18 (I am 48 now). Since then had been driving Ambassador, Old Fiat. I have driven array of German, Japanese, American cars in the Middle East as well. Surprisingly the Fiat Punto is a power packed car and excellent build quality, superb suspension and stability. People who know about cars who value personal and passenger safety and comfort would of course go for cars like Fiat. I have had severe joint and back pain due to long drives on a swift dezire. But after switching to Fiat Punto I have never had such health issues. Roads in kerala are mostly winding roads and the body roll on a dzire was so disturbing whereas in a Fiat you wouldn't get an inch of a tilt at sharp turnes and curves. Amazing car. If I buy another car it will be a Fiat. I am fully satisfied with the service center Hyson Fiat in Ernakulam. They are very professional and prompt.

Fiat knows the emotions of enthusiasts. But they made enthusiasts emotional 😔

The ABARTH intro !!! you nailed it bro. Looks like god of all cars in those flames :D

Very true.. low performing cars are on the top of sale charts. And gud cars are just fighting for survival.

Came here straight after watching the ford figo s 2019 review just to show my utter respect for abarth punto...only was a matter of one year..and i could bought it for myself...cruel world..we dont deserve good cars

The ending was absolutely spot on !! Fiat will only be understood by driving enthusiasts ❤️ Indians surely dont deserve these great cars .. I own an Fiat Linea 1.3MJD .. Once a Fiat, always a Fiat ❤️🇮🇳

I got huge respect for these manufacturers, if they like they can make a compromised car like maruthi for this Indian mentality consumers but instead they stop the production and hold their dignity!

We now have the roads, infra and as a country we deserve better cars too. Damn, most people don't even look at their cars before purchase, some just want crappy waste like elegant cup-holders,paddle shifters, sunroof and thats excatly what Hyundai and MS have given back to the market. This video is a summary of choices in the automobile market, bang on target PD! Abarth Punto and Figo S are celebrities to a great extent.

This was not just a review video by pd, instead it was a reminder to us Indians that we need to change our mentality towards cars otherwise maruti (tin cans) will rule the market instead of such great car's, at last to make it clear i want to say that i also don't own a fiat instead i own a 2009 model honda city zx gxi chao!!!!

Nobody!!! i repeat nobody can make this much interesting automotive video they way u guys do!!.. simple superb

Right since the time u guys released the preview of this video coming up, I had been waiting for this. What a video it was. The dialogues, the action, the driving, the locations everything picture perfect. The entry of Abarth reminded me of the Polo GT TDI entry in your earlier video of GT TSI vs TDI. But the best part of the video was, the honest and sad bit that u told at the end. Nobody really is winning. We are all losing. Its sad to hear the abarth punto production has stopped. Pains me to see we Indian enthusiasts fail to notice such awesome cars. I myself have been thinking to buy tigor, but after seeing this video, u made me reconsider. Hats off to you guys, Ten hut and Glenn, u r totally awesome. No words to describe the way you review cars. Powerdrift rocks. And to answer the question, I think the car that is good is still The Polo GT TSI. The abarth launched after the polo, but only manages to edge past the latter by a whisker. The GT TSI is a far more practical car for an adult and far more sporty for a enthusiast. I will go with the GT TSI anyday. #Powerdrift. bit.do/WinAn-iPhone8

Lucky enough to grab an Abarth before they shut down the shop! This review motivated me partly in taking the decision. Thanks PD!!

Watched after years but the last statement has struck me if we enthusiast don't buy these cars who will make . Tears do come to my eyes when I see Punto Abarth we lost a great opportunity to own it .

Drive punto once you will never buy tins again. Mark my words.

All the fancy electronic gadget features you get in maruti and hyundai will wear off from your life in a couple of weeks. Just like how you are excited about your new smartphone for a week when you've just bought it. Abarth punto is all about the passion, soul, joy of driving, safety, power, handling, steering, suspension and how every single mechanical bits come together in perfect harmony. The abarth punto is for a driving purist. I took a test drive yesterday and immediately decided to buy it. I don't care about the lack of traction control or parking sensor etc. A person who cannot park a small car without parking sensors shouldn't even be driving in the first place. I don't even care about the less number of service centers. Honestly after owning and riding a sbk for these many years, no small car was even close to impressing me. Tried the polo gt tsi but the stupid dsg doesn't even let me launch without giving a 1 sec delay. Took a test drive of the abarth and just one thing ran in my mind "THEY DON'T MAKE SUCH CARS ANYMORE IN INDIA". I cannot thank fiat enough for their flair.

eventually it happened we lost fiat and ford but i am happy i have the figo s tdci and ford service is still cheap and manageable and ford is still giving that family wali feeling

Abarth intro was amazing ...... Surely gonna miss the Fiat in the market.. The summary at the end of the video is a 100% true and no matter how good a car is made in India. People still be cling to the stereotypes.. #fiatfanbase

This two episode series was the best. It’s been 4 years almost and I’m still rewatching them.. and yes, I bought the Figo :)

When you said , This car needs you' I felt it bro 😓😭

The intro of the abarth gave me chills bro. Excellent job

Entry of the SCORPION...... really .... GOOSEBUMPS

PowerDrift blows other review channels out of the water. Keep it up lads!

Couldn't be any more apt. The videos are getting better and better in quality guys, awesome and Amazing work! About the car scene, Indian buyers have stopped pursuing 'driving pleasure' as a genre while buying a car. I agree all the comforts of the body are necessary, but the petrolheads need the comfort of the mind which the driving pleasure provides. Most people are buying 'point A to B' machines with the longest list of features in the brochure. 'Cars with a character' is all we petrolheads want. A car that is unique to its own identity and that uniqueness is expressed in nothing but the driving. Not how many screens or sensors it has listed in the brochure. How the Punto Abarth dared to do. We need better motoring to take the Indian domestic car scene to the next level. Better motoring starts with what car you buy and how you make it truly your own. Tune it, modify it. Make it better. Better and pothole-free roads to not break the mods you made. and lastly but surely, Better driving sense with high regard to traffic rules and discipline in driving. Follow your lanes, respect pedestrians(also be a responsible pedestrian), keep enthusiastic driving to the open highways. We need more local tracks in India to uplift the motorsport scene and make better drivers of ourselves and practice driving techniques. Keep it Revving guys! Drive fast, drive safe! B)

Hats off for the wonderful video. "No one is winning because we all are loosing". Sometimes I do not feel to take bath but I make sure to wash my Grande Punto. I feel like highway salutes me when I ride my FIAT car - robust, powerful and reliable car.

Power drift should try a car, bike focus filml(like fast and furious or NFS) . With good script. Your camera man cinematography, videography (can't express), editing. Is on next level. Wow

Awesome work great point made totally agreed respect for power drift 🙏🙏🙏

The best performance hatch back ever in our country. It's very disappointing that they discontinued these superb cars! Anyway i own a 1.4 Punto emotion, and very satisfied ❤️

A year later , I still come back to watch this video. One of the best by PD. Awesome writing, camera work & music. That Abarth intro is the best.

This video made me buy an abarth though preowned

Its closing on 2020 now, I even watch this video couple of times in a week now!

These Cars are Class winners! Not mass winners! Our Indian masses only knows mileage, they aren't car enthusiasts!

Good - FORD FIGO Audio - 10/10 A/C - 10/10 Interiors 10/10 Design 10/10 Refinement 10/10 Steering/wheels/road grip ------ Brilliant Comfort - OMG God. I swear I haven't found anything better. I love everything about it. A lot of thoughts have been put behind the making of this car. This car is PRICELESS. I own it. I know how good butt feels even after 350+KMS of nonstop drive. No cabin sound what so ever. Terrific braking. Tires give enough grip. I have been driving this baby right from the moment I got my license. I learnt everything on this car and hell yeh. Its very easy to drive car. I Love Ford Figo. No engine sound. Beautiful design. Every single time I see it. I fall in love with eat. My family loves it. My kids r growing up with this big toy. I have done 160 kmph. With ease. Seats r very very very very good. Enough thigh support n comfort. More comfy than a couch . I swear. Its been 2 years I still feel the same affection for it. U will not regret. Go for it.

Proud owner of Figo S..I feel the power of my Figo S each time I drive it...best car but without recognisition..

boy o boy!... Fiat could pull your clips for its official intros... excellent scripts, accurate numbers, exciting to see... u guys r redefining reviews!!... Cheers!

Hi. I own a punto abarth (2017) model and believe it is the best hot hatch you can buy. The new abarth comes with touchscreen which overcomes the calculator feeling of music system desribed in video. Upgradation of tyres is a must as the stock 195 barely keep up with power delivery. You will get accustomed to the unique driving position in abarth within a week and after that it's just a big smile left to show whenever the accelerator is pressed. It beats other hot hatches any day any time. I request people interested in hot hatches to please abarth strongly. It's a blessing for us petrolheads.

Watching this in 22. Both of em gone from the market

Tragic that ford decided to discontinue production in India. I own a ford freestyle 1.5 diesel , what a car , can't say enough good things about it . Only sad our indian crowd fall for the cheap cosmetics updates given in Korean cars .

Watching this video now hurts!! Both the manufacturers has left India. Those two who planted a smile when you're on the driving seat :( In the era of getting 4 bottle holders, Android Auto , we lost these diamonds!

A strong point made in here. The Indian market NEVER made a way for deserving cars. They chose economy over quality. It's high time we get our choices sorted. :)

Still gives me the goosebumps. That Abarth entry 🔥

Rightly summarised bro.. If we don't appreciate gud cars.. They will never be made..

Love the Punto... Though i personally own a Figo Diesel.. Never ever felt the need to change it.. 3.5lakh kms done and its looks it will go another 5.. The stability and the engine feel is still new!!! Cant imagine replacing it♥️Those four wheels and the engine within moves souls not just places♥️Ford Figo♥️

I have seen hundreds of videos on car reviews, but this is the first video I'm commenting on seriously. I just loved the way you have made this video. I'm big fan of fiat specially abarth punto.

still watching it today,,don't know when this type of video will make a comeback to PD

You guys put so much life into your cars! You bring out the personality of a car the way you review it! Like here you correctly pictured punto as th last samurai!! If we don't develop understanding for good cars. Good cars won't be made !!

This was an SOS Call,but nobody ever listened 🥺....and the enthusiast side of Indian Car market plumented ever since.... Now we have Maruthi's dressed up us Toyotas instead...Its all on us.

"We are all loosing" .....wow well said.. What a strong message you have conveyed to Indian masses. We have to think way beyond the conventional way of buying cars (kitna deti hain) and do justice to ones that deserves the most. Respect to u guyz.. This is what automotive journalism should be like..cheerz

4:44 I was instantly sold. That's what we call marketing! And good cars deserve this type of aggressive marketing approach.

As a car enthusiast... this is the best video i have seen and we need more videos like this... its beyond a typical car review... its epic...magnificient..... creative.. well thought n executed....

Good to see someone is talking about the driving fun factor, something none of the motoring journalist care about.

Seen this review after 2 years of posting this video... But guysss, never seen such a review... Stellar review.. Literally no words

4:34 the beast enters into the screen 🔥

Damm, we lost both of these and even the polo. SUCKS !!

Finally... Abarth gets the intro it deserves!!! 😍😍

Powerdrift is in a league of its own, these guys are here to set the benchmarks in automotive reviews! Fan since day 1 ♥️

8 Years completed by my Fiat grande Punto... still going strong.

Such a sexy video, guys. That entry of Abarth, anyone would want to buy one even without a test drive just by seeing that entry video.

Booked a Fiat punto ABARTH today. Their promise is that delivery will be made in one month time. I don't mind even if it take 2 or 3 months. Because I already have a Fiat punto multijet in my garage , which is in fact my second punto which has completed 40,000 kms (First punto sold after 1.5L kms). Moreover, mileage is no more an issue, because the difference in the price of diesel and petrol is around Rs. 6. And thank you powerdrift for this awesome review. Let this be an eye opener for many who prefer freebies and bottle holders over safety and handling.

unfortunately Indian car market is not about power, torque and acceleration cars but about fuel-efficient, spacious cars and recently more about gimmick stuff such as sub-par touch screens, sunroofs etc. I think outlook of the world economy will suggest such trends worldwide, where people want value for money efficient cars. and with the introduction of stricter pollution norms, I think performance car market will never be an Indian thing. But regardless I am always so amazed by the hard work you guys put in, to bring in such high-quality content. The best Indian automotive youtube channel or perhaps the best Indian youtube channel. You guys are definitely up there with the best. Many Congrats

No one does car reviews better than you. Its a visual pleasure to see the wonderful cinematics, presentation and editing.

I brought a ford aspire 1.5 D ... people started asking me , why cant you go for dzire ??? I was like... what ???? Seriously ??? .... how can u explain performance handeling,comfort, the premium feel and the brand image to those who think only about mileage, service cost and resale ??? 😂😂😂

your video editor needs a special token of appreciation

PD focused on key point. For good cars people should start appreciating good cars. Appreciate the thinking of script writer.

Okay, wow. I was in the market for a Ford Figo, and saw your video. I was expecting the usual Indian mediocrity in video production, but Wow. Your script writing is great, video quality is amazing, and production quality is amazing. Keep going. This one video has earned you a subscriber and a lot of great word-of-mouth advertising. This is what you do to set yourself apart from the competition.

Ill regard this as a massive farewell for the punto. Damn I've been watching it every other week.

Got goosebumps watching abarth introduction.....

9:40 No one listened to you and now Ford also left.

Mind blowing man....At 4:55 I should have blown whistle ...but I was in house........Machho man ......Entry of abarth is amazing........If I am not wrong than it was made by you guys......! ... Amazing....I m gonna subscriber you for your really well planned efforts and what should I say about script.......Just like a Hollywood movie......I feel proud after seeing this...And it was difficult for mW to come out from the character.......Ohh my god...

My favorite hatch back is punto forever.. A solid build ..

Awesome. I love Abarth.. My Abarth is a beast ever made hatch in the country.

You rightly said we are all losing. The Indian auto market dominanted by only some so called products. There is not a perfect choice for driving enthusias.

You guys are on the way to Top Gear's (JC version) level of presentation and production quality......Well Done......

Luckily i own this beast . Figo 1.5TDCI💪

I have the Linea T-jet and feeling proud :). Superb intro for the punto Abarth. Simply loved it. I wish you guys had done a review on Linea T-jet too.

Honestly, Power Drift is THE MOST AMAZING automotive channel India ! At times when I thought Petrol heads were non existent in India, PD gave me Hope 🤧 Keeps the Revs High and Climbing

Wow...the intro the back ground music the Hollywood style video cuts edit and the one liners are just bombastic. Great video....and the driving is brutally specific...straight to emotion ...

That YES at 8.04 is the reason I own this Beast

You guys are awesome.. and what a review.. And guess what i baught The abarth punto.. what a beast.. what a gem of a car.. really we people are ignoring good cars...

Performance is still a luxury & niche. Most of enthusiast gets bogged down by high acquisition cost and future resale value. India is still a mass market and doesn't deserve great cars as yet.

You guys making it a lot better than other channels on youtube cudos to you guys and one more thing i actually like Abarth Punto , I got goosebumps....

Watching often this video for the quality of it's making. You guys are like Fiat, less videos but more of quality and a big thanks to you, I grabbed one of the Punto Evo mainly because of you guys.

Booked the last Abarth Punto in the state of Tamil Nadu. Checked all the showrooms in the state and finally booked the last one 😎😎

RIP ford india too. we Indians lost a gem of a vehicle manufacturer due to not choosing good cars😒. Had good time with figo..

Awesome presentation bro. Sadly Indian markets are not just capable enough to do justice to cars like Punto Abarth

True car enthusiasts. From a T-Jet owner.
