1999 Fiat Punto Mia review from UK and Ireland
"A pocket sized robust little bargain!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little has gone wrong with this little car.
Standard wear and tear items have been replaced, i.e. Brake pads, Tire's etc.
I occasionally hear a whining noise coming from the front brakes, but the fault has never been isolated and rectified!
Wiper motors needed replacing when I first got the car due to serious wiper vibration. This was done free of charge by the dealer.
General comments?
I love the racy little engine and stiff suspension. For a 1.2l engine this car is extremely fun to drive and great going around corners.
I have driven this car back and forth a couple of times to Austria. It cruises at 80mph for hours on end and is surprisingly comfortable.
This car has cost me little to maintain and has been a joy to own.
