Fiat Punto Hatchback 1.2 Active Sport 3d (2003/53) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I got a big discount on mine, that's why I bought it, do not pay the list price! So for the money, the standard kit is quite good
Costs
Not as good on fuel as id hoped 35-39mpg and servicing is a bit steep.

On the road
Driving
Steering far too light and gives very little information about what the front wheels are doing, which makes for some hairy moments whilst your trying to press on. The ride is a bit on the firm side but strangely doesn't help with the handling.
Performance
I've seen glaciers move faster! Motorways can get interesting.

Living with it
Reliability
It's seen more of the inside of the fiat dealer the the mechanics that work there.
Image
Looks quite good with the alloys and deeper bumpers (another reason why I bought it).
Comfort
Very good ride, a bit bumpy.

Security and Service
Security
Needs to come with an alarm.
Service
There is not enough room here for me to explain my dissatisfaction with my fiat dealer. So the less said the better!
