Should have remote central locking and no rear speakers is a bit miserly.

On the whole pretty good, power steering too light and a bit noisy at speed.

Good for a 1.2 8 valve.

Living with it
Reliability
Has been reliable, but the car is in for a new head gasket and has the stuttering wipers problem, luckily covered under warranty. Had the original Punto for 2 years, ran like clockwork.
Image
Better looking than the face lifted model, unpainted bumpers spoil it a bit, but the car is black so not too much of a problem.
Comfort
Adjustable lumbar and height adjustable seat.

Security
