2001 Fiat Punto JTD/ELX review from UK and Ireland
"A very fast car with lots of M P G!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The intermittent wiper started to shudder this has been repaired, seams to be a common fault.
Apart from having a puncture nothing else has actually gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
The car tends to be quite noisy on some road surfaces.
I think it would surprise some petrol heads how fast it is, and relaxed it is to drive on the open road with
its low revving diesel engine.
One bad point it has, is the positioning of the hazard switch, which can be to easily activated when operating the window switch.
