This is my partners car which i often drive. We got this as he has just recently passed his test and the Fiat Punto seemed like a good starter car. I can confirm it is a great starter car and better than my first, a Ford Ka. The pedals could be classed as a little too close together, but they are great for control. I find the clutch easier for clutch control on than the Ka, but the steering wheel column i think it is does get a bit in the way with my foot when turning corners with the clutch depressed. It is at a nice and comfortable biting point. Away from the pedals is the running of the car which i think is great, the engine sounds smart and i stalled it once and wasnt aware i even had because the engine is so quiet which is nice for longer journeys. The interior can come in all kinds of garish colours which i will be honest and say i dont perticularly like but all we wanted was a good car we could rely on for motorway miles and for extending the family and this surely is!
