1998 Fiat Punto SX review from UK and Ireland
"Superb small, first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the car was first purchased a slight oil leak was present near the Gasket on the car, but was fixed easily and within an expected cost for the repair and has been fine since. Apart from that for a 4 year old car, when bought, it is in excellent condition and a very very sturdy car.
General comments?
An excellent, cheap and ideal first car for a young driver.
The SX offers a more involved and refined car compared to the S version for no more extra running or maintenance costs.
The suspension is very hard and not smooth and 'bouncy' on rough terrain or very bumpy roads.
The low petrol indicator does tend to come on very early when there is still a high volume of petrol still in reserve.
