Advantages: Big small car!

Disadvantages: can't think of any at the moment

I have owned a Punto 60SX for almost two years now. It is the first new car that I have ever owned and to be honest it was the 2 year's interest free credit and free insurance that attracted me to this car. However, I was soon won over by its looks (let's be honest - look at the Micra and other such 'mini' cars). The test drive proved that the Punto is easy to drive but is nippy enough for the driving that I do. I have no complaints about its performance at all.

Last July when my partner was looking for a car, the 3 year's interest free credit again won him over so now we have his and her's Puntos (how sad!!). His, of course, is the Turbo Diesel version -averages about 65 mpg. The looks of the car are somewhat more modern but it is just as easy to drive, albeit with much harder suspension. The 'girly button' (City button) is not, in my opinion, essential as the power steering is light enough but I suppose it may be handy for getting into that ever-so tight parking spot.

I would definitely recommend the Punto to anyone (a friend now owns 2 and another friend is planning on buying one, not to mention a work colleague who has bought one after admiring mine!) Fiat have definitely turned the corner!!
