2001 Fiat Punto GO review from UK and Ireland
"A good motor with minor faults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First of all there was a knocking noise when the car was moving coming from the rear of the vehicle, this was eventually rectified by the dealer.
The windscreen wipers have started to judder across the screen, I understand this is a common fault, but as yet this is still ongoing as the dealer cannot get hold of the grease which is required, and even when they did they gave it to another customer so I am still waiting (since November 2002).
The subwoofer which is in the boot of the car was distorted, and it took two trips to the garage and numerous phone calls before they would agree to fix it, and first time I went they could not find a fault with it.
General comments?
The car is quick for a 1.2 8V engine and has good acceleration speed.
The sporting interior is smart and the vehicle is spacious with plenty of room.
My headlights have started to mist up on the inside, but they do clear during the day.
There should be an interior boot light as it makes things difficult during the hours of darkness.
