2001 Fiat Punto Sporting review from UK and Ireland

Seats wear badly.

Airbags disabled.

Odometer reset itself.

Wouldn't start.

Air-con system broke down twice.

Sunroof broke down twice.

Seats won't always lock into place when moved.

Rust around the sunroof.

Very bad leak from under car has caused an inch of water to collect in foot-wells everytime it rains.

Seat release catch has come off.

Headlights fill with mist regardless of weather conditions.

Unreliable wiper blades.

Warning lights will randomly come on and then off.

Power steering will randomly disengage.

Car cut out twice on the M1 and nearly killed me, my girlfriend and anyone else using that section of road.

Fiat quite frankly don't give a s**t.

This car has had too many problems to list in its short life. Appauling main dealer support as well (Desira, Hayes, Middlesex)! I will never buy another car from these clowns. Despite being a lovely car to look at id rather zimmer frame, then at least it would do what its supposed to! I have had problem after problem. Fiat warranty doesn't cover water damage and they never have courtesy cars availible. This is a brand new car which has let me down more than my first car, a C regTalbot 'Horizon'. My bank account and I hate my punto sporting and plead to anyone thinking of buying one to reconsider.
