1999 Fiat Punto ELX review from UK and Ireland
"A car with many faults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew even though it had only done 21000 miles.
The exhaust fell off completely after 3 years.
Electrics in car seem faulty as it often states that one of the lights is faulty even though all bulbs are fine.
General comments?
The car is comfortable to drive and seems quite economical, but very expensive to repair in a short period.
