2001 Fiat Punto HGT review from UK and Ireland
"Sharp suited brio"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door hinge retaining strap is loose and clicks when the door is opened.
Annoying rattle from behind the dash - now constant, but the dealer cannot locate it.
General comments?
Strong performance from a very torquey engine. Excellent brakes too.
Mine is in Sprint Blue which shows off the lines really well.
Would have preferred a cheaper price without the standard SatNav which is hopeless.
Don't buy this car for fuel economy - it will not go above 25mpg!
It's a superb traditional style hot hatch. Very rare on the streets too.
