Fiat Punto Hatchback 60 SX 5d (1999/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
End of production model, so reasonably good spec. Not planning to retire on the residuals though.
Costs
Expected better mileage from a 1.2 in a car this light.

On the road
Driving
Reasonably comfy. Excellent city car which cries out to be driven fast in its home environment. Rolls a bit, so fast roundabouts are rather dramatic.
Performance
Fine for an 8v 1.2.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Nothing major to date (30k miles). Clutch throw-out bearing seems to be on last legs now though.
Image
Still looks damn cute! Far superior to the Mk II.
Comfort
Any trips over 100km result in a unique numbness of the glutius maximus.

Been broken into 6 times, but never stolen thanks to immobiliser.
