1995 Fiat Punto 55S review from UK and Ireland
"An average small car with a poor engine."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear suspension arms at 44K miles. (£400)
Head Gasket at 49K miles. (£250)
Both of these seem to be a major problem on this car after reading the other reviews.
General comments?
For a small car it is very roomy inside, the seats and furnishings are basic. The stereo positioning is very poor making it difficult to safely change the radio statio whilst driving.
Handling is very poor and under steer is a big problem on tight bends.
Reliable apart from the two mentioned points which seem to be very common.
