"A bag of crap"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Engine fan on almost constantly. Dealer unable to source the problem so they make up excuses that they all do that. I asked for a courtesy car to test and it works fine and is also twice as quick as mine (same engine). ME THINKS SOMETHINGS WRONG!!

General comments?

Do not buy a Fiat.

Dealers are crap.

Service is crap.

'nough said.

Air lock in the radiator causing overheating? See the other Abarth review for the same symptoms.

I have had my Punto HGT Abarth for a year now and I love her (my little Abby). Apart from a couple of small problems with window wipers and lights, I can truthfully say that it is excellent on road holding even in the wet, very responsive, very quick!, a definate head turner with its stunning looks (black looks much nicer than the yellow - sorry you yellow owners! plus the satellite navigation has been very useful and works brilliantly (no more maps hooray!)

The only criticism I have is that Fiat after-sales care is not all it should be. From what I can tell, the dealers are the same all over - shame though when the car is so great.
