2002 Fiat Punto ELX Speedgear review from UK and Ireland
"A cool car, nice looking and nice to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Squeak from the rear, fixed, I have been told it was the hand-brake's cable that needed for lubrication
Noise from the steering column, fixed, bolt out of alignment and centered by FIAT service
One line on the rear window is not heating, I am still waiting to get the rear window changed, to get the other problems fixed I had to wait 3 weeks to get booked...
General comments?
The car is fantastic, for the price you pay, you get fun with no limit.
The C.V.T. gearbox works nice and what impressed me is that even if you are already going fast, with the economy button off, if you push the accelerator down, over the point it becomes harder to push (Kickdown function) the engine goes at 6000rpm, but you get a real sense of acceleration like you are driving a 2000cc petrol...
