1999 Fiat Punto 60 S Team review from UK and Ireland
"Has something for everyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the cylinder heads in the engine has cracked. General bulbs needing replacing.
General comments?
Bought my fiat after reading good reviews on this site, but have had a few problems.
The cars interior is very nice, but spec is low, no electric windows or central locking.
Very roomy inside with lots of leg space for adults.
Flimsy body work on Punto, I read this before I bought the car and have had my own problems. Dents seem to appear from nowhere and are very visible.
I found the insurance for this car high compared to other cars with the same power.
Fiat are in a lot of trouble lately and parts are expensive, plus they've introduced two new models of the Punto which devalues my model.
Handling is good at all times.
