1998 Fiat Punto GT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mark on dashboard on delivery - dealer said that whole dashboard would have to be replaced - didn't bother as it wasn't worth the trouble.
Fan belt slipping - had to be replaced.
Passenger seatbelt jammed and was replaced.
Turbo not boosting properly - turned out to be accelerator adjustment.
General comments?
This is my second GT and I have found them to be generally reliable given the type of car. The performance is excellent and I find them overall great value for money when you look at bhp/£. Build quality could be better and not very comfortable for long journeys.
