Fiat Punto 1.2 3dr

Although I have resisted, I can resist no more the time has come, its time to enlighten you all to the virtues of owning a Fiat Punto. As some of you already know, I am probably the number one enthusiast of Fiat, with my present love being my trusty Punto called Fifi. I know what you are all saying, how can you adore a Punto, after all aren’t Fiat’s the lowest of the low, the rust buckets of all cars, the cars that no one admits to liking! But I’m going to tell you exactly why you, like I, may grow to love a Punto! My relationship with Fiats has spanned over the last ten years graduating through a total of 5 Fiat Uno’s. With Uno out of production, ...  Read the complete review

Being a short person (5ft nothing), when I look for a car I like to be able to see over the steering wheel....it is also quite handy to be able to see the back end !!! I have driven some tanks in my time and, after 20 years of driving, I wanted something small, sexy and comfortable....like me !!! Luckily the company I work for offer substantial discounts on all new Fiats. So off I went to my local Fiat dealer, to see what they could offer me in the small hatchback range. They were extremely helpful and I finally settled on a 1.2 Fiat Punto.I will also say at this point that their after sales service was also excellent.(I had to call them regarding my ...  Read the complete review

THE PUNTO To all car lovers out there I would like to draw your attention to this keen little runner. I realise after the countless series of 'Topgear' shown on the BBC that most of you will be more mesmerised by the likes of Ferrari 360's and Lamborghini Gallardo's. However for those with a more down to earth perspective, this is a great affordable car that will never fail to get you from A to B. I have the 1.2Litre petrol model. As standard this comes with driver and passenger airbag, central locking, electric front windows, power steering, adjustable steering wheel and an adjustable driver's seat. I find this a very handy feature as you can move the seat ...  Read the complete review

First off, I find it funny how the description for this review is a 'Fiat Punto 1.2 3dr', but the picture clearly shows a 5dr... Just made me laugh, sorry. I purchased my Fiat Punto 6months ago from an auction in Nottingham, for just £1,000 + £200 auction charge. The car was in great condition (besides a flat tire which put bidders off), with only 41,000 miles of the clock! When I got the car home I discovered a few small problems which may or may not be common in most Punto's: - The doors were creaking loudly when opened and closed. This was something I knew WD40 couldn't fix as the clicks were vibrating the doors, making it clear the issue was ...  Read the complete review

Well, let me tell you a little about myself and why I may have chosen this car. I passed my test six months ago now and at 17 years old, finding a suitable car was not the easiest task. My goal was with a budget of £10,000 to buy a new car, with low insurance and not to ripped off. Having scoured the internet, I sourced many little hatchbacks which could have a bright future parked on my driveway and i whittled it down to the Ford Focus bang on £10000, Fiat Punto at £7000 and a Renault Clio at £8450. These cars are brand new, however they do not have brand new prices. Companies buy a fleet of these vehicles, register them and then sell them at knock down prices ...  Read the complete review
