2000 Fiat Punto 1.2 HLX review from Switzerland
"A great small car I'd recommend to all"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1.A light at the back and two in the front during 4 years.
2. Battery just when completing 4 years ownership.
3. Light stalk was very sensitive and would flash headlamps unintentionally; changed under guarantee.
General comments?
A perfect second car for the family; roomy, extremely reliable; economical and even stylish.
The ride could have been a little more supple and the electric power-steering lacks feel.
The quality of the interior is excellent and everything is still perfectly intact without any squeaks.
One does hear some suspension noises going over 'speed-bumps'.
