2001 Fiat Punto ELX review from UK and Ireland
"A flawed fun mobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The shock absorbers leaked and had to be replaced.
The air conditioning stopped working five months after I bought it - just two weeks after its first major service.
General comments?
It's an economical car and very stylish in design.
It can be noisy on fast runs, but is pretty roomy and comfortable.
The brake and accelerator pedals are positioned a little too close to one another - could be a problem for bigger footed drivers.
