2001 Fiat Punto GO review from UK and Ireland

"Average car poor build quality"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brakes very spongy on test drive dealer did sort this before delivery.

Car didn't warm up very quick thermostat replaced under warranty after 1000 miles.

Clutch made a loud clicking noise when depressed this was replaced under warranty at 2500 miles.

Both front doors dropped have now been adjusted 5 times by dealer.

Very loud rattles from rear end 3 seat brackets were coming loose fixed twice now under warranty.

Tailgate would not shut properly now fixed under warranty.

Cannot get fuel in quick enough before pump clicks of (2-3lts) tank and filler neck have been out at dealer to no avail.

Front wiper motor worked when it wanted to or not at all fixed by dealer.

Rear suspension getting noisy dealer disputes this so not fixed at this moment.

General comments?

Good looks, fair equipment and good warranty package (good job).

Poor handling and ride.

Suspension to stiff it makes your fillings rattle.

Poor build quality and quality control at factory.

Engine not bad, but a bit noisy at high revs and a bit lumpy at low speeds.

Depreciation terrible especially if traded in through fiat dealers because they know all the problems.

Good m.p.g. and cheap insurance.
