2001 Fiat Punto 1.2 MIA review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap car for the walnut faced Italian peasantry"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 54,000.
Wiper motor arms failed at 90,000.
General comments?
Where to start, well firstly it's a small Italian car with not much on it. The engine makes a load of fuss and achieves nothing.
The driving position is good and the seats are comfortable, even on long distance runs.
Overall I love my Punto; yes things have gone wrong, but no more than any other car I have owned.
Remember it's Italian; if you want reliability buy a Honda.
