Fiat Punto Hatchback (1999 - 2003) 1.2 3d (2002/51) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Cute

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Slow, don't have much cred or whatever as I was 17 when I got it!

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, would prefer something much quicker and newer now.

What are you likely to buy next?

I have a Corsa now, after someone went into the back of my poor Punto. Only had it for 4 months but cheap insurance, tax and did 50 mpg, so was really nice to have as a first car.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£830

When did you buy the car?

June 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Bargain, 60,000 miles spotless, tax, MOT, all the paperwork. Brilliant value for money!

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Only 8v so was a little slow to get going and after 70 would struggle. Going up hill and you can forget going any faster. All expected really. The size and the 13" wheels meant corning had to be slow. Really quiet when driving on the big roads surprisingly, fantastic interior so always felt warm and happy to be in.

What's it like to park?

Really easy, so small so had plenty of room. City steering made it super easy. Doors were really wide though so had to be careful when opening the doors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not one thing in the 4 months.

What's most practical about your car?

The lumbar support was good and so was the adjustable steering block. Interior was lovely - Fiat never disappoint, it makes driving feel happier rather than a task.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

City steering was a great idea. Wish it had a sunroof though!
