1998 Fiat Punto 60S review from UK and Ireland
"Good value for money, easy to drive car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cylinder head gasket blew at 38000miles, cost about £600 to get replaced, under warranty so it was painless.
Exhaust lasts till about 46000 miles.
Rear suspension starts to squeak over more severe bumps, but it was nothing serious.
Idling on engine was bit unstable.
General comments?
Sprightly performance from 1.2 engine.
Goes fine on Motorway.
Can be under steer a bit in the wet.
Quiet car to drive. Steering was not power assisted, but very light.
Cheap to insure, good fuel consumption on motorway and about town.
