2001 Fiat Punto ELX review from UK and Ireland
"OK if you can get one cheap enough as a first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
51,000 miles: Windscreen wiper motor mechanism failed - result was a new complete motor etc needed @ £55.
58,200 miles: Timing belt tensioner failed - new tensioner & belt needed (lucky no engine damage).
Since above - engine management lamp on, yet no fault codes?
Numerous rattles inside the car.
General comments?
Thought it was a good buy - got it for £2000 with loads of service history.
Now thinking it maybe time to get shot and invest in something better recommended!
