2000 Fiat Punto ELX review from UK and Ireland
"If you see someone selling one... WALK AWAY!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had my Punto 1.2 ELX for over a year and already I'm thinking... what have I done!!!
After 2 months, the clutch went.
The oil is going somewhere it shouldn't be (haven't quite figured out where it's going yet???)
Just waiting for the head gasket to go!!!
Brakes also wear quickly and fluid goes with it!!
General comments?
Although a comfortable drive, I am constantly thinking I hope my gasket doesn't go ETC.
The pedals are very close together... although not a problem for me, it seems to be a major for others...
The car does stick to the road very well and gets a lot of tire screech... bonus for the loons on the road.
...so...
If you're looking to buy one of these... you best have some spare cash or you're in trouble LOL!!!
