2000 Fiat Punto Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Better than a corsa, not as good as a Fiesta"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mostly electrical.
Power steering failure.
Hand brake light coming on randomly.
Wipers not working properly.
Lights on the back not working.
Niggly faults, but they can really get you down.
Oh and the manifold developed a hole and the exhaust came away from it.
General comments?
Not a bad little car.
Nice six speed gearbox, but it is clunky.
Easily the quickest out of all 1.2 engined cars.
Looks classy in my opinion.
Funky interior.
The plastics are very cheap on the dashboard however, be careful if your heavy handed like me.
