1998 Fiat Punto 60 Team from UK and Ireland - Comments

I bought the car second hand and two days after it developed a leak where the aerial sits.

Then the exhaust fell off.

Then the head gasket was leaking.

Then the thermostat broke.

Then the ht leads had to be replaced.

Then the rear left wishbone broke.

Then the rear washer water hose came off.

Then the head gasket was leaking.

Then the head broke and had to be skimmed. Later this was put down to a manufacture error. Yet another head gasket had to be bought.

The ht leads had to be replaced again due to the constant stripping of the engine.

Then the right rear wishbone had to be replaced.

Now it has developed an electrical fault, will it never end.

Apart from the 10 million faults I like the car.

There is lots of room inside.

It is very nippy for its size, that is when mine works properly.

I must say that I would never buy one again.

I have just bought 1.2 fiat ounto 60 team for £700 56979 miles and only problem is the GASKET leaks where can I get one please??? also its in great nick other than this its the only problem with it except the top steering bearing is SLIGHTLY worn, It has a big exhaust runs perfect and is like yours pretty nippy and fast from start off, please help, lovely car inside and out, would like to get the gasket fixed and then its near perfect, rob_gambino@msn.com.

HAHAHAHA I bought my one, and no problems so far apart from a hole on the jacking point behind both front seats fell through, sump has rusted out so oil everywhere, heater doesn't work, doesn't start first time, oh and the sun roof handle keeps falling off. But yeah, all in all a very quick car and very nice to drive!!

You bought a (no doubt cheap) secondhand car and you're surprised it has faults?!

With a Punto, at least you'll look stylish whilst waiting for the recovery truck.
