"A cool car, nice looking and nice to drive"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Squeak from the rear, fixed, I have been told it was the hand-brake's cable that needed for lubrication

Noise from the steering column, fixed, bolt out of alignment and centered by FIAT service

One line on the rear window is not heating, I am still waiting to get the rear window changed, to get the other problems fixed I had to wait 3 weeks to get booked...

General comments?

The car is fantastic, for the price you pay, you get fun with no limit.

The C.V.T. gearbox works nice and what impressed me is that even if you are already going fast, with the economy button off, if you push the accelerator down, over the point it becomes harder to push (Kickdown function) the engine goes at 6000rpm, but you get a real sense of acceleration like you are driving a 2000cc petrol...

I have just bought Fiat Punto 1.2 ELX speedgear Auto and so far I am really impressed with it. I had to downsize as fed up repeatedly re-fuelling my big VOLVO 2.0 Auto. I think the Punto is really nippy, I love the City button for ilght steering (very easy to park) and it's a very smooth drive. I have been driving around town for hours and petrol gauge only just beginning to move! I think it has everything I need for a small family car that's mainly used for trips around town etc.
