Fiat was known for being a good carmaker for the small segment. Over the years, it showed its skills with vehicles such as the , , Tipo, Ritmo, and others. It was the bigger classes that gave them headaches, such as the Argenta or Croma.

Yet it can be a Back in , the car tax regulations shaken up into their current form — what it now means is that if you buy new and want free road tax, you Reservations have opened for the long-awaited Fiat Electric.
Home Fiat Grande Punto Specs. Version Dynamic, 1. Average annual mileage More than 20, For what it is, i am pleased with it. It has done a high mileage much of it on the m25 in terrible traffic conditions and has so far not let me down. Having light blue seat covers is annoying as they show the dirt, but that is really my only complaint. Version jtdm, 1. Great car, good handling, looks good and great to modify unlike these silly little 's and saxo's which is great for me : very pleased would have another one.
Version sport, 1. Good but heating and ventillation poor. Version Active, 1. Cheap economical and easy to drive but a budget car so not very exciting. Average annual mileage 0 — 4, Version eleganzer, 1. Low fuel consumption and expensive spares. Version gp, 1. Perfect antidote to road rage. Version Multijet Sporting, 1. Version GTDM, 1. Version t-jet sporting, 1. It's pretty much perfect to be honest but i now could do with something alittle bigger.
I've had good cars from fiat lately so can't see why i would want to go else where. The electrical wires for the internal fan were faulty and kept causing problems for weeks. The interior is also poorly built with vent covers not fitting properly and buttons not working properly. The steering is also very light especially when driving at high speeds on the motorway.
The backseats are also problematic to fold down. However it is a hard working little car with a very responsive engine and brakes. The economy has also been fairly good with an average of 45mpg in the 1. Overall i feel that fiat has improved on the build quality for the number of miles this car has done and the price paid originally. However more could be done to improve. Version Sporting T Jet, 1.
Not a bad car by any means, however, in the third year of ownership it suffered from a range of problems: clutch release bearing, wiper motor was replaced; front strut mountings replaced. The reason i got shot of the car was that it developed a persistent pull to the left that the main dealer was unable to rectify. Everything under the sun was tried and nothing seemed to work. Just made the car a absolute pain to drive anywhere. Version sporting, 1. My car is just the sexiest beastly piece of machinery to ever come out of the fiat factory's doors.
Overall, the consumption would be amazing, if it was a 5. Averaging 29mpg is a struggle for the revvy little car, and quite frankly, going to your car in the morning to a damp interior, frost behind the dials and a slippery dash really puts you in the mood for a productive day of work. There is however,one thing fiat have really done right on the grande punto.
It's so bad that it makes you to never want to buy a fiat again, and thus, succeed in life. The 6th gear is too, truly amazing, not, i'm pretty sure the've just accidently named neutral '6th' as the power you receive from it is about as much power you get from a legless horse.
I would like to at this point, congratulate myself on the exquisite, and frankly, slightly arousing 'exotica red' color, however, the paint quality is so bad, that i'm pretty sure fiat deliberately invested millions into scientific research on how to infect car paint with alopecia. Daily i notice a change in the shade, thickness, and overall appearance of it's shine. I however, have personally found a cure for this, in the form of factor 50 sun cream.
In Conclusion to this we see, that if you want a magical colored car, with terrible consumption and obese performance then the fiat grande punto sporting 1. Yours sincerely, a loyal,devoted, proud fiat owner It has been a reliable small car and has been good value for the price paid. Love the car, but need slightly larger car. Only one thing went wrong, power steering motor, fiat has agreed to pay half the cost as it was one year out of warranty.
Version active, 1. My wife and i like our fiat and will probably buy again. Next Steps New car deals. In this review 1 Fiat Punto review Old school engineering and a less than thrilling drive make the Fiat Punto hard to recommend.
Engines, performance and drive Limited engine choices and lacklustre handling mean the ageing Punto is seriously outclassed.
