"Apart from a rough ride, its been super"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Squeaks from interior/sunroof.

General comments?

Despite what a lot of people say about Fiats' my Punto has proved to be remarkable, I've covered 25000 in 7 months and its been super reliable and comfortable.

16/8/2006 UPDATE!

Well the Punto has now done 94000 miles, and still (touch wood) is practically bullet proof! a few things have gone wrong, the clutch went after 84000 miles, and the replacement doesn't seem nearly as good. She had her timing belt replaced for the second time at 90000 (i as a rule get things done on the car before they need to be!), and the front suspension needed a bit of work done. Economy as ever is spectacular, 50+ mpg more than possible & cheap to service as i do it myself! It is starting to feel its age a bit, but still a great little car. I'll sadly be selling it in maybe March 07 for a diesel, doing 40000 miles/year in a petrol no longer makes sense when diesel costs 10cent/ltr cheaper now, the car's been so good it'll be a sad day when we part.
