2001 Fiat Punto HGT review from UK and Ireland
"Absolute pocket rocket that embarrasses most other cars in its class!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, I've only had it 3 days.
General comments?
This car is a cut above the rest.
It handles like a go-cart and leaves many other cars for dust. The look on drivers in more powerful cars is priceless.
Being a 1.8 the fuel economy isn't the greatest as you are encouraged to drive the car, which means red lining it at 7000rpm, although you are guaranteed to have a smile on your face at that point.
I had a Vauxhall Astra 1.4 beforehand and the difference handling and power wise is something else.
The interior is cool with sat nav and 5 disc changer, not to mention the 100w subwoofer in the boot as standard. The seats are supportive and the toys on the car such as air con, ABS, and traction control are a nice touch.
If anybody wants an adrenaline rush and a permanent smile on their face while driving, buy one!!
You won't be disappointed.
