2002 Fiat Punto Dynamic review from Spain
"Cheap, reliable, nifty... What more can I ask?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty spark plug wires had to be replaced at 80000km.
Rear drum brakes gone bad at 100000km, had to replace both.
Faulty passenger airbag connector now and then, seems it's a common fault in this model.
General comments?
Low weight, willing engine for it's little displacement, good handling... It's pretty nice to drive. Good to very good mileage if driven carefully. Nice exhaust note.
Interior ages OK, for being cheap plastic. Good ergonomics in general lines.
Good to very good mileage if driven carefully. A much better buy than its 8 valve brothers.
