Advantages: Cheap to run

Disadvantages: Suspension, not very fast

I have had my punto for about 2 years now, and to be fair its a really good car! It may take a long while to get to 60, but it does get there in the end. Its cheap and its a nifty little runner.

I have a black 53 reg 3door car. Its currently on 56,000 miles. And really i should of looked after it a bit better then i have. But its still going well and gets me to A to B.

Its a great looking car and i found it really nice when i first brought it! Of course everyone would like a newer and different car, and im one of them. But this car is cheap on insurance, its a group 3 insurer, thats the lowest of the all the punto models!.

I feel that this car is a little bit dated now, inside looks very plasticy. Inside is pretty spacious, very good for a small car! It has two airbags at the front. Mine came with a cd player and cd changer in the back. But i think that was added extra! The previous owner also payed extra for a sunroof to be fitted! It has two electric windows, the buttons you operate them with are in the middle by the fan settings. A bit strange, but quite funny when people get in my car and cant find how to open them.

You have numerous fan settings and also a city button by there aswell. The city button makes the steering even lighter, bit silly as the steering is light anyway.

I feel that when i first got my car the suspension was very good, but now after 50,000 it started to make a lot of noise when i go around corners,also when a few people sit in the back! I am going to sort this out in a garage very soon, as i feel its gettin worse.

This car isnt the fasted of cars, but as long as it gets to 70, its all ok! When it goes over 100, my passengers dont feel very safe. So i tend to stick too the speed limits!
I think my car is ok, its not the greatest! My car insurance is just £200 this year with 3 years no claims! Perfect for me!

Summary: A all around cheap car!
