Fiat Punto Hatchback 1.2 3d (2001/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cheap transport.
Costs
Reasonably good petrol consumption. Trade in value will probably be low due to Clark and Vardy's saturation of pre-registered cars.

On the road
Driving
Bouncy ride. You notice everything on the road.
Performance
Sluggish.

Living with it
Reliability
Apart from persistent faults which have been there since day one, generally goes okay.
Image
Doesn't stir the blood. Certainly no head turner.
Comfort
Quite roomy, but poor ride quality becomes very wearisome.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser - that's about it.
Service
Can you give a minus mark? Unfortunately, I bought this car from Arnold Clark. Warning - do not buy from this dealership; various excuses made for the litany of faults I have had; oil leaks, trim quality, etc.
