Tata Motors doesn't have the best reputation for reliability, so we understand your concerns about the Punch. However, with regard to your specific concern on the engine, Tata Motors’ 1.2, three-cylinder engine that powers the Punch has been around for quite some time now in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged form and is quite a proven unit with no major issues.
What you are likely to face is a few niggling issues as the car ages and a service network that needs to improve. However, the new feature Punch has been launched at a very attractive price and is certainly a compelling option to consider and buy.
