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
Nice to drive round town and on motorways. Only fault is a clumpy gear change, but you soon get used to it.
Performance
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.
Image
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
ELXs have more comfortable seats than other Puntos I tried.

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