2002 Fiat Punto Active review from UK and Ireland
"Should have been a contender."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hand-brake cables had to be re-routed, as cables rubbed on wheel.
Rear seat holder not aligned correctly.
Engine very occasionally misses when Idling.
Rear suspension had to be greased as too noisy.
General comments?
I find the seats uncomfortable after a while.
The pedals are so close together that people with wide feet like me, may find themselves applying the brake at the same time as the accelerator, as I have done several times.
For a brand new car, I am disappointed.
