Both Front Headlights were really badly misted up and had to be replaced.
New Clutch fitted at 30,000 miles.
The seats had started to wear badly.
Drivers Electric window had to be replaced.
Windscreen washer motor and arms had to be replaced.
Clutch caused me a lot of trouble, though the dealer claimed there was nothing wrong with it. The car shuddered quite badly when taking off from lights or a junction.
Could not rely on the car to start on cold mornings.
The car was quite nippy for a 1.2 8 Valve.
And generally I was quite happy with the car.
The thing that impressed me most was the size of the interior.
Also the equipment that came as standard was very good (CD Player, Sunroof, electric windows, remote central locking & Alarm).
The car was cheap to buy and run at the start, but the longer I owned it, the more it cost me to repair it.
In the end though I felt I could not rely on the car as it would not start on cold mornings. I got stuck in a few places by the car not starting.
Has anyone found out why the Punto will not start if the temperature is below freezing, mine has caught me out a few times.
I have had a fiat punto elx 1.2 5 door on w reg for four & half years, I have done in total 55,000 miles the car was second hand when bought in 2001. Have serviced the car yearly and replaced all the tyres never had any problem with this car at all excellent car.
