Reliability
Oh Dear! At 28,000 miles the head gasket went, followed by the clutch and gearbox the month after. Head gasket just gone for a second time at 38,000 miles. Oh, and rear suspension needs replacing as well. DO NOT BUY A PUNTO.

Quite a good looking car (but looks can be deceiving).
Comfort
Can get a little uncomfortable over long journeys.

Seems OK, has immobiliser. No alarm though.

Always used independent garages, as they are much cheaper than Fiat.
