Fiat Punto (1994-99)

I bought my Fiat Punto 1.2 60SX in Febuary 2008 with an apparent 42,000 miles on the clock for £400, I had a few months of trouble free motoring before the problems started which are all listed below. At first the car was great, it had a few dings and scuffs but the engine was sound and quite nippy, sadly, this was not to last. The clutch was the first thing that went, not in a sudden mechanical faliure way but gradually it slipped more and more until I had no choice but to renew it. The cost of the clutch was just over £200. I barely had a month with the new clutch before the front brakes (discs and pads) needed doing at a cost of £90. A few weeks after ...  Read the complete review

Most of these reviews are quite old now! I have just bought my second punto, so getting back into the swing of fiats! I have barely driven it so I will review my first punto! It will have bits of comparing with polos in too! I bought mine from a local lady. The head gasket went on my polo, so I was desperate to find a cheap car having lavished thousands on my polo (purchased for £400) The Greenflag man said he knew of a lady selling a small car and gave me her number, and it turned out to be a beauty! It was her mothers car since new, had 64,000 miles, and almost top of the range at a 1.6 ELX. It was dirty and had a few parking dings but seemed fine, ...  Read the complete review

Fiat Punto 60 SX We have had our little Fiat Punto 60 SX for over a year now and seeing as I am so happy with it I thought it a good idea to write down a little review for you all to let you in on the secret that is this great little car. We bought this car at the beginning of March last year from a local independent dealer and it cost us a mere £1,100. It is a wonderfully weird shade of burnt orange and although at first this colour was a bit of a turn off I have now grown to love it and see it as something a little different from the norm. After only having had white cars before it is nice to have something that really ...  Read the complete review

I purchase my brand new 3 door Punto 60 SX in the summer of 98 from the main Fiat dealership in Warwick, making this an S reg, the price was £8,800, which included the metallic paint job. Engine size 1198cc. Things were looking good, the car was great, well it was brand new. There were three main reasons I plumped for this car originally. Firstly was the test drive. Although it's only a 1.2 it was still quite nippy, the drive was smooth and the engine noise was minimal. I took it on a duel carriageway to open it up a little and again I was surprised at its performance. Very quick for a small engine initially but once the 5th gear is used the power is gone. ...  Read the complete review

I am an owner of a 1997 Fiat Punto 60s. This car has caused little problem to me and I find it enjoyable to drive. Most of the work done to the car has been through general wear and tear over a ten year period rather than a bad car. This work includes- wiper motors, clutch plate, suspension parts. I have had the car serviced regularly and perhaps this was a help in prolonging the car's good health. The exterior of the car has stayed in good order with only issues arising from vandalism, be careful where you park! The car's exterior styling does show its age now as car designs have moved on. The interior in my opinion still looks quite contemporary and up to ...  Read the complete review
