1998 Fiat Punto 60 SX review from Portugal
"It's a fine car for a small family and to the beginners. Very fun to drive and fast to respond"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The plastics of the doors were already screwed up, when I bought it, but I feel they are very fragile against shock.
One of the front wheels hits the car body when it is completely turned, to the left I think... even after I made a direction alignment.
General comments?
It has a pretty high consumption of gasoline in urban circuit.
The gearbox is easy to handle, and each gear sequence is quite short so you may drive at 35km/h and still go on 4th gear.
It has a good maximum speed and great acceleration for a car of it's scale, I should say about 9 seconds to reach the 100km/h and maximum speed of 185km/h.
The suspension is not soft, so you could expect to feel every hole in the road with the serie's suspension.
