Great little car, few improvements needed

Review by Jenifer Brigain on 6/8/2011

3 Door 1.2 8V Mylife

Review

I believe this car to be really fun to drive and be solely reliable whenever I need it, all be it pouring rain it's still perfectly fine to drive come rain or shine. The tyres really grip the road and manage to stick to the road when going round tight corners. Its a slim car so it's easy to get through tight small roads. It's fully loaded with safety features like airbags, central locking which is good and give you a sense of safety and reminds you it's a safe car to drive compared to older punto's which fail to prevent major injuries because they didn't have air bags. All in all a great little car and perfect for a run about. If your looking for a more social car i would definitely recommend this as its very cheap to run and the petrol really lasts in both long and short journeys in this car.

Favourite Features

I like the size of the wheel it doesn't feel like a massive car and it's a really fun car to drive. It has a quick pulling away time and very sharp accurate brakes which are great.

Suggested Improvements

I think the interior design could be modernised there is no cup holders so I have to get my friends to hold my coffee in the car. I think it should also improve the gear stick handle as after prolonged use it has worn down and become rather slippery.

Lovely 1st Car

Review by Claire Dempster on 21/5/2011

Vehicle

5 Door 1.2 8V Active

Review

This is a lovely 1st car as its a 1.2 engine its not too fast its just a nice little family car. Loads of room in the back for 2 car seats lots of leg room. Insurance and tax fairly cheap. I've recommended this car to family and friends.

Favourite Features

Love the fact that u can set an alarm to tell u if your going to fast mine is set at 60mph!! Even though it drives the hubby mad lol. Also love the controls on the steering wheel I tend to use the volume buttons the most as the music has to keep being turned down for the kids.

Suggested Improvements

The windscreen wipers arent so great I've had mine replaced twice in 7 months! Maybe due to the fact that I park under a tree n quite possibly the sap n leaves tend to mess them up im unsure?
The stereo is ok but I think improvements could be made maybe be a bit more funky have some lights etc as its quite bog standard

The best car I have ever owned.

Review by Eileen Hobkirk on 22/2/2011

Vehicle

5 Door 1.2 8V Active Start/Stop

Review

I have previously owned several small family hatchbacks and I can honestly say the Punto is the best by far in my opinion. So reliable, spacious yet compact, a beauty to drive and it has [so far] never let me down.

Favourite Features

Considering I am only 5ft.2ins I have to say the adjustable steering column and the seats. I can adjust my seat height-wise aswell as nearer to the pedals.

Suggested Improvements

The spare tyre is kept in the boot under the liner, with little compartments for all tools you need, only problem is when you take them out you just cannot get them all back in the same place they were in before you took them out

My Little Punto!

Review by Eileen Hobkirk on 22/6/2010

Review

I have never owned a Punto before and I can honestly say I am definately going to stick with this model as I love it. I have owned it for the last three years and it is compact, roomy and a dream to drive.The speed is right there when you need it. A quiet engine compared to some other cars I have owned. In all the time I have had this car it has never been to a garage except for it's MOT and service, so I class my self as owning a very reliable model. My grandaughter and grandson are both learning to drive and I have praised my Punto as a compact reliable car for a first time driver. Under the bonnet every-thing a good driver needs to keep an eye on and check are easy to access such as oil, brake, gearbox and window washer levels.

Favourite Features

An extra light on the dashboard to tell when a door is not shut properly, Also a warning sound when you reverse or leave the lights on when you park up. Plenty of room in the front, not too close to your front seat passenger. A very smooth ride with adjustable steering wheel and drivers seat height, which adds to the drivers comfort. The mileage I get from my car is great, even around the doors,so I'm not having to fill up so often. There is so much space with back seats down, it has to be seen to be believed, [I've even had a large fridge in mine.]

Suggested Improvements

None that I can really think of , cause I love mine just the way it is. Maybe only that my model does not have a CD player, only a radio but you can't have every-thing and I'm not complaining.

Lovely little car

Review by Gabor Kovacs on 28/4/2010

Review

I think my Fiat Punto was the best decision I could make. It is small, smart, ideal for a small family or a young couple. It is a fantastic city car, small enough to park with it easy, but you also have big space for luggages.

Favourite Features

It is very silent and good looking. I feel safe, when I drive it. Good value for money, not expensive, but have many good features. The space inside is good enough.

Suggested Improvements

The interior design could be little bit more smooth. It would be good, if the quality of the materials would be higher. Of course, it would be nice if it would be a fully green car.

Fiat Punto

Review by Tom Barnes on 27/4/2010

5Dr 1.3 16V M/Jet 75 Atv St/Sp

Review

This is one of the old models. A good solid car, with a bit of vroom. I'm not car mad, but this one makes me happy enough. Fairly comfy, and with good headroom (I'm 6ft 3). Fuel efficiency seems ok-ish too. Not the best town run-a-round, but handles well on open stretches of road.

Favourite Features

Headroom! Fairly efficient... More power than other cars I have tried of it's size. Pulls away well.

Suggested Improvements

A higher field of vision would be good as, although there is plenty of headroom, I still have to duck a bit to get a perfect view of the road. This can hurt my back a bit on longer drives!

My first car - Fiat Punto

Review by Helen Fox on 27/4/2010

Vehicle

5Dr 1.3 16V M/Jet 75 Atv St/Sp

Review

A black Fiat Punto was my first car, this reliable, small, cheap to run car is ideal for anyone of any age to experience the world of beginners driving. All functions are easily accessible and noticable. As well as cheap to run, 5 doors all in all a nice small car to run around in to get used to the roads before upgrading to a larger more powerful car to experience the world of driving. Cheap to run and cheap to insure aswell.

Favourite Features

My favourite features were the smallness of the car, 5 doors, easy to manouvere, cheap to run, cheap to insure aswell. The colour black was my favourite colour for cars also.

Suggested Improvements

As this car was an older version the interior could be upgraded as well as electric blacked out windows would not go a miss and leather interior would be superb.

A good car

Review by Ram Dayal on 22/2/2010

Vehicle

5Dr 1.4 16V M/Air Gp St/Sp

Review

The Fiat Evo is a very good car just considering the fact that it is cheap and has a good mileage. Also, the car has a good leg-room and is very spacious. But, there are a lot of improvements which has to be done.

Favourite Features

The price tag and good mileage are the main things which can make the customer happy. The spaciousness helps a little. The interiors are also good.

Suggested Improvements

The car is not good-looking. The interiors are great but not comfortable enough. The handling is also unexpectedly below the mark.

The Punto Evo

Review by Mahavir Prasad on 22/2/2010

Vehicle

Review

This great car from Fiat would drive anyone crazy with its smooth handling and very good pricing. The car has a low running costs and is environment-friendly. The car has quite spacious interiors and is very comfortable.

Favourite Features

The interiors are very impressive, though the exteriors are not. The mileage is good and cost is low which means it is made for the common public.

Suggested Improvements

The exteriors could have been better for such great interiors. Other than that I think that the car is just great.
