2001 Fiat Punto Go review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant car if you don't mind the little things that can sometimes go wrong with it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There's a really loud banging noise coming from the front of the car over bumps (suspension I think).
Heaters make a squeaking noise.
Clutch makes a squeaking noise.
The suspension is too hard.
Had a new ECU.
General comments?
I've had my Punto for about 6 months now and there's a list of problems I've had as you can see, but I bought mine for £3995 which was reasonable.
It has the most comfortable seats and driving position which can be adjusted in almost any way.
To say it's only got a 1.2 engine it is reasonably fast especially on acceleration.
It has one of the best sound systems ever (4 speakers & 100w sub-woofer in the boot)
Even with this list of problems I still love my Punto and seriously would consider buying another, although I would go for the more sporty HGT Abarth.
