1999 Fiat Punto S review from UK and Ireland
"Good looking, but unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear brake drums needed replaced before I had done 24,000 miles.
I now need a new gear box less than three years after purchase.
General comments?
Despite now giving a three year warranty with all new cars, Fiat UK have refused to contribute towards a new gearbox. Presumably they only expect them to last a year.
Very keen to get my money and servicing business, but unhelpful when things have gone wrong.
