1995 Fiat Punto 55SX review from UK and Ireland
"Better than FIats of the old"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wear and tear in some cases excessive.
General comments?
Unlike older Fiats, this one is more reliable and better looking. I'm afraid though, Fiat still have an awful long way to go before they can match the Japanese cars for ease of driving and build quality. 73,000 miles for a Punto 1.1 is high, whereas for an equivalent Nissan Micra 1.0 this mileage is average.
Gearbox is stiff and clunky, clutch heavy, idle tick over is not at all smooth. Car feels tired but has f/s/h.
Foot rest is too far forward meaning an uncomfortable driving position.
Roomy & it looks good compared to a Fiat Uno!
