1998 Fiat Punto ELX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Delivery wax on the car when I picked it up, inner sill cover loose and handbrake went all the way to the top. Took several phone calls & a personal visit to get the dealer to fix these. Now it is 8 months old, with 6000 miles on it and the gear lever gaiter has holes worn in it & the passenger electric window switch has worked itself loose.
General comments?
Other than the less than delightful buying experience, and the dealers reluctance to honour the manufacturers warranty, I will certainly look at another FIAT in the future. The cars themselves are beautiful to look at and perform & handle way in excess of the usual Ford/Vauxhall equivalent.
