2002 Fiat Punto Active review from UK and Ireland
"Don't touch them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything...
First I'd had the car a month and the handbrake/brake fluid light kept coming on for no reason.
Then driving home one night, the pushrods snapped and the brakes were making a grinding noise. I brought it back to have it checked. They said it was new brake pads breaking in!!! (yeah right) The brake discs were in bits, and I felt a dragging and brought it to a garage to have it checked. They showed me the state of the discs. I couldn't believe it. I have only put 5000 miles on this car.
Oh, and my lights are faulty too.
The most recent problem is a dreadful noise coming from exhaust (I think).
The worst thing I have ever bought in my life. I will never ever buy a Fiat Punto again.
General comments?
Crap, just cheap crap.
