1998 Fiat Punto Stile review from Malta
"Comfortable, smart, but unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gone through a great many brake pads.
Dismantled my gearbox around 5 times for different reasons,
Keep changing front, rear and brake lights.
Faulty electric windows.
Changed clutch kit a couple of times.
Changed radiator 3 times seems to heat up every summer for the past 4 years.
Seat adjustment broke.
General comments?
A very very comfortable car.
Nippy and reasonably smooth.
Very comfy for parking, due to the power steering.
Good seating - seats beginning to tear though.
Nice cabin space.
Ride can be a little rolly, especially in a country full of winding and twisting roads.
