2001 Fiat Punto monza 60s review from UK and Ireland
"Little Star"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had a slight oil leak from to rocker cover, spoke to a mechanic at the dealership who said this was a common problem and a new rocker cover gasket would solve the problem which in has. Nothing else though.
General comments?
Going from a 1.6i Orion to a 1.2, you would think this would be a 'comedown' however I have been pleasantly surprised. The engine in this car is very responsive for a 1.2 and miles per gallon compared to my last car is amazing, averaging 48/50 miles per gallon, 40/45 miles per gallon when driving harder.
When ordering the car, the dealer persuded me to go with a higher spec car than the one I was going for (base model). The result was a Punto with the same spec as the sporting edition (apart from the engine!) so it looks the business.
