2000 Fiat Punto HGT review from UK and Ireland
"Nice sporty car, but expensive to run and insure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The windscreen wiper motor had to be replaced... wipers really labored and shuddered on the intermittent setting.
Cigar lighter was blowing the fuse and had to be replaced.
General comments?
This is an ex-demo car, therefore has everything, ABS, Traction Control (turn offable), alloys, 5 CD changer, air con and sat-nav etc etc So can't complain on the features.
Sports suspension takes its toll on long journeys on the motorways.
Really does gulp the unleaded and so is expensive to run and insure (group 14).
