Good Points
These cars are very quick and are brilliant for catching other drivers out who assume its just a 1.2 Fiat Punto. The breaks and handling all match each other and its hard to put a foot wrong when driving the car. Punto GT's also look amazing and have a sound like no other with a de-cat sports exhaust.
Bad Points
Electronically the car is not amazing, something always seems to go wrong in this department. The only problem I have found with the engine is the down pipe off the turbo has a tendency to snap if you do not have the flexible pipe. Make sure you have plenty of money for petrol as they do tend to drink.
General Comments
The Fiat Punto GT is a brilliant car in both looks and performance. When running right they do tend to be very reliable but dont be surprised when something unexpected goes wrong. The main downside is how much petrol they drink but lets face it you dont buy a car like this for fuel economy. Overall a brill car, a true hot hatch
