Brilliant fun to drive!

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

Living with it
Reliability
Apart from head gasket, clutch slave cyclinder and brake cyclinder, it has been brilliant. Few other minor DIY problems.
Image
Not as good looking as Punto, but when in good condition, can still look fairly modern.
Comfort
Ok. Can be a bit bumpy, but is quiet when not thrashed.

Security and Service
Security
Not much. Door locks. I use a crook-lock, so had no problems, yet!
Service
Fiat don't seem to have time for customers, so I don't know how they have ever managed to sell any cars!
