    Brilliant fun to drive!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quite nippy for a 1.0, good on motorways and can easily do 50mpg.

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Apart from head gasket, clutch slave cyclinder and brake cyclinder, it has been brilliant. Few other minor DIY problems.

    Not as good looking as Punto, but when in good condition, can still look fairly modern.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Ok. Can be a bit bumpy, but is quiet when not thrashed.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not much. Door locks. I use a crook-lock, so had no problems, yet!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Fiat don't seem to have time for customers, so I don't know how they have ever managed to sell any cars!
