1998 Fiat Punto Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Great budget warm hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lumbar support in Drivers seat broke.
General comments?
Excellent fun to drive very throw able.
Very quick revving makes for good thrashing through lanes etc.
Suprisingly quick for engine size with only 85BHP.
Seats aren't as supportive as they should be in a sporting model.
Ride is firm although too high as standard.
Cheap to insure, tax, run etc.
