1.2 Active Sport 3d
Fiat Punto Hatchback 2003

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Love the styling and crazy yellow colour! Shifts nicely. Corners well. Poor power when starting off- I struggled learning to drive on hills but very nippy on the flat. Heavy steering when you don't use the amazing City mode. Tiny car but sooo spacious! Can fit tables/lawnmowers/pallets in it!! Most space of all my cars, best thing about it. Love the boot size. Decent interior. Not as cheap as Jap. Easy to drive and park- it fits anywhere! Literally. Great on petrol! Problems included jerking violently in low gear & low speed making it difficult to sit in traffic. Many parts were changed as reccomended but I'm tired of no improvements so selling it. And idling poorly. This car broke my heart. I would like another Active Sport but fear experiencing the same problems. Thank god parts are cheap enough. Otherwise I would drive it for another 10 years! That's how much I enjoyed flying around in it.

How reliable do you find the car?

2 problems as mentioned in review. Common Punto issues.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Not a granny car- very sporty looking & nippy when she gets going.
