2002 Fiat Punto sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Nice looking, but shoddy paint-work!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lights bulbs went out.
Very tapetty on start up.
P/steering fault light came on for no reason sometimes.
Seats wear badly and get dirty very easily (just took 3 months to get dirty after having the interior valeted!!
Front seats wouldn't lock into position unless put all the way back.
Paint chips and scratches way too easily.
General comments?
Had the car for 5 months and had to get rid off it because the paint would just scratch and chip so easily!!! everytime I went out I would always get a scratch or a chip... it got to the point where I wouldn't drive unless it was an emergency becasue the paint was just so soft!!
The interior dash start to crack aswell after a while!
But it is a nice sporty looking car that's pretty nippy to drive and very economical I got 57mpg once!!!
The alloys just looked great!
