    I've had two separte Punto hire cars for a few days each. Overall I liked it. The foot well seems very small, but once your going its ok. Mine had radio controls on the steering wheel, were very useful. The trip computer also very helpful. The rear window is too small for my liking, and the rear mirror also tiny. I never liked the brakes. Good equipment, 50+mpg, seems to go quite fast for 1.2, except when going up hill in 4th or 5th, then it needs pushing or changing to 3rd! I didn't like the brakes on either car, so it can't be a fault !. They seemed to be "feather touch", I was just touching them in the end.

    I've had the Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 Active for 3 months now and am still in love with it.

    The Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 Active is a beautiful Design, The Hub Caps featured on the early models are probably the most convincing ive ever seen, When clean they look like alloys.Handling and Gear changes are very smooth, The engine is very quiet. There is plenty of space in the boot and front seats. The Dash is quite stylish, .You get around 45mpg when doing 70mph on a motorway so fairly economical.
    A lot of faults seemed to appear in the first few years, I have experienced Faulty Starting Mot ...

    Looks good with Maserati influenced design. Large boot and plenty of room in the cabin. Average 50+ mpg on a motorway run. Good level of equipment as standard.
    There is too much plastic inside which tends to creak over uneven surfaces. Ride quality is a little hard and steering lacks feeling. To many faults found during warranty period. I have been into the Dealer numerous times for parts to be replaced (water pump, drop links, 3x demister vent panels (due to warping through heat, still not sort ...

    With a real dose of Italian style, the Grande Punto is not only one of the largest superminis, it's also one of the best.
