1998 Fiat Punto review from UK and Ireland
"Buy this car, it's a cracker!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car, it is an excellent car. Especially as it had not been serviced in the first 28,000 miles of its life!
General comments?
This little car is a cracker! Great head and leg room. Driving position is brilliant thanks to its adjustable steering column (reach and rake), seat(height and adjustable lumbar support). The 60SX spec is just the right balance for this size of car.
Its engine is also brilliant, good acceleration, I once timed it at 9.1 seconds 0-60. It's a little noisy at high speeds but I find it just goes nicely at 90mph. It can carry 5 adults and a full boot at 107mph.
FIAT - no longer the little rust buckets they used to be!
