1999 Fiat Punto Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Great little sporty hatch and not too bad to insure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the car for just over a year now and haven't had any real problems to date. The brake disks may need replacing soon, as they are stopping to judder when you brake hard. Local mechanic said this was just the disks out of line or may need new disks.
General comments?
The Punto Sporting is a great car, lively performance and quite cheap to insure, it is a group 7. Handles very well, I have thrown it round a few corners and its really stuck to the road. Top speed I have reached is approx. 115 - 120 mph, that was foot to the floor. Interior is nice and seats are very comfortable.
