    Excellent. Got more optional extras for my money than with other makes.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Brilliant value for money - bought it for £2995 in 2000 in excellent condition with FSH and only 35k miles on the clock.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice to drive round town and on motorways. Only fault is a clumpy gear change, but you soon get used to it.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    As soon as you accept that it's not a GTi, you realise how well it performs for a 1.2-litre.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    Have driven it round the country loaded to the roof for 2 years and never had any probs.

    I think that, considering mine is 7 years old, it still looks as stylish as many of the new cars in its class you see on the roads.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    ELXs have more comfortable seats than other Puntos I tried.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Just had it broken into via the locks, but couldn't take it due to immobiliser.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never use Fiat for services as far more expensive then my local garage. Had car recalled for alteration to airbag - Bristol Fiat customer service is not brilliant.
