Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cheap little car to buy and run - good insurance prices for first car.
Costs
Mine seems to drink fuel compaired to some people's reviews, but still not bad for how many miles I get out of her.

On the road
Driving
Easy to drive - steering bit heavy on some.
Performance
Very nippy for only a 1.1 - very disappointing on motorway. Does not like anything above 60 and very noisy, really good around town though.

Living with it
Reliability
Poor - have had 2 Puntos and both broke down with first couple weeks - not well built compaired to other cars - but again you get what you pay for.
Image
Image is average - big improvement with some alloys and the colour coded bumbers.
Comfort
The seats are average nothing special, you get what you pay for though.

Very easy to break into, but not a primary target for thieves. Will be fine as long as you watch what you leave on display.
Service
Expensive for what you get - defo try it yourself if you known anything about cars.
