2004 Fiat Punto Sporting Active from UK and Ireland - Comments

"Bad design, poor runner, not worth the inconvenience"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Persistent clutch judder that hasn't been cured and am now on the 3rd clutch and have been told by the dealer that this problem dates back to 2002 and hasn't been corrected to date.

Rev counter pulsates.

Sqeaks from rear of the carwhich we have been informed by the dealer is due to the handbrake cable dragging on the rear axle.

General comments?

The car is super to look at, but unfortunately seems to have too many design problems and with the recurring problems, once the warranty expires, we face expensive repair costs.

Perhaps you're dealer isn't quite as good as it should be, i used to work for a dealership and had the pleasure of seeing many punto's coming in for squeaks on the rear, all the rear susspension bolts removed and greased (with copper slip) and they never came back, this can be done at home very cheaply. as for the clutch ask them to skim the flywheel if you've had (did they fit??) 3 clutches then its got to be the flywheel.
