"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.

I own a punto sporting 1998 and have found this to be a very quick car, for a 1.2 16v.

Cars such as this should not be driven quickly down country lanes, the car is simply too fast for small roads, however on a wide open road it fly's.

As you said it is cheap on tax and as it is on insurance and the fuel economy is excellent.
