1998 Fiat Punto 16v Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Loads of body roll for your money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had nothing go wrong with the car although I have only had it just over a month.
General comments?
Do not buy this car if you expect to go round corners fast. After my 205 XS this car just seems to make pathetic attempts to corner. Go into a corner at anything over 30mph at your be in the passengers lap or hitting the window. I have p700z's and yet it still manages to slide round corners like its on ice.
Performance (straight line) is great I manage to keep up with my old 205 XS (1.4 twin choke CARB) and in 5th I out accelerate it.
