2000 Fiat Punto elx review from UK and Ireland
"Nice car shoddy build quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear suspension squeaks- been back to dealer 9 times, but they still can't fix it! sent off to fiat UK and still haven't heard back after 10 weeks.
Head gasket blew at 30000 miles.
New headlamp unit at 4000 miles due to leaks.
Rear compartment leaks.
Steering squeaks when turning right.
Stereo-fast forwards on it own.
Poor wear on brake pads- lasted 20000 miles.
General comments?
The punto is pretty nippy and good for long journeys.
Seats are comfortable and the interior is visually nice and well designed.
Good looking car.
Very good economy- regularly get 52 mpg!
