2001 Fiat Punto SX review from UK and Ireland
"Mine has been reliable and cheap to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
From day one there was a squeaking from the rear suspension. i took it back to the dealers about 3 times for this under warranty. it was eventually sorted out, but it still appears from time to time, but I'm not so bothered now its 5 yrs old.
The car has now started to use a bit of oil and when I switch the blowers on there is an oily smell.
General comments?
The car has been reliable and hasn't let me down. i think it drives well for a small car. it does OK for a 1250 engine. i get 40 to the gallon, but I don't drive it hard.
