2002 Fiat Punto Active 5Dr review from UK and Ireland
"A good first car for someone."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical problem: The brake warning light kept coming (after 9000) on when braking even though brake lights were OK and brakes were OK. Fiat fixed it, said it was a loose connection.
Electrical problem: The oil warning light came on after the engine was switched off. Resulting in flat battery. Electrical connection problem.
Electrical problem: Various dashboard lights flashed every now and then. unexplained.
General comments?
On the plus side the car is economical to run, and can be a bit nippy as it's light - plus it's easy to park.
Negative points: there is a lot of type and engine noise in the cabin. Also, the suspension is very rigid - so rides aren't always very comfortable. Problems with the electrics are common.
