    Its noisy and bumpy but still fun and keeps you on your toes.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I tell you I only had a 1000cc but I would beat most cars from the lights. Felt really nippy around town.

    So easy to break into its a joke, but no one would want to. Would they?

    I got brilliant service from Fiat, when I want to get another car I'm off to Fiat for a Punto.
