Advantages: Cheap to run

Disadvantages: Bit slow

I've had my Grande Punto for 2 years now as my first car, and I can honestly say I couldnt have made a better choice. The car I drive is a 1.2 Active model, so it's cheap fuel consumption - (I average about 54 mpg), cheap car tax and all in all just a comfortable car to drive. All of the controls are easy to use and it has the City button function for lighter steering. It does take its time to get up to 60mph, but with the speed restrictions everywhere this shouldnt be an issue. The interior of the car is comfortable but not too comfortable, the only issue I do have is that the back passenger windows do not open at all. Apart from this I would recommend this to all first time drivers, as you couldnt get more of a reliable and affordable lovely italian car.

Summary: Lovely car to drive, from a relatively new driver
