Er not sure where to start. Had usual problems such as door trim coming off, head lights misting up, plastic parts just falling off, drivers seat stuck in one place, windcreen wipers breaking and only driving with one working - then bang! 6 months after buying a 2001 car - the gear-box blows! total re-build, what a peice of c##p. Getting bus to work while this rubbish is fixed, and you don't want to know the cost. Never ever buy a Fiat.
This car is seriously bad - I would hesitate to be a passenger in one again - own one? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you must be joking. Sure they have killer looks - but don't do it! Don't buy it! It will fall apart before your eyes.
Its very hard to believe, you have probably picked up a second hand vehicle which has been driven hard. This can happen to any brand of car, it also feels even harder when you have to fork out for repairs.
Continious ON PREVIOUS COMMENT REGARDING COST OF REPAIRS I WOULD SERIOUSLY LOOK AROUND YOU WILL FIND A DIFFERENCE IN PRICING. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE HEARD EXCELLENT REVIEWS ON THE NEW PUNTO, Don't BE SO HARSH ON YOURSELF. FOR EXAMPLE GOING OFF THE SUBJECT I HAVE PURCHASED A GOOD BRAND OF COMPUTER, AS YOU CAN SEE MY SHIFT KEY IS STUCK, SO LIFE GOES ON.
