2000 Fiat Punto Abarth review from UK and Ireland
"Economical, good looker"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine fan coming on nearly constantly, turned out to be an air lock in the radiator.
General comments?
Not that impressed with the power of the engine, but that's probably due to me owning a 1.6 before! Once the finance is paid off we'll see if the 2L 20v Turbo out of the Coupe will fit!!
Abarth bodywork and wheels look smart.
Corners like a dream due to dealer fitted gas shocks, lowering springs and 195/45 tyres.
