    Bad Points: body unreliable . the body is not strong enough ...


    General comments: The GT is a powerful car and lovely sport car, you buy a fast car without spending a lot of money Punto GT is like a little cute baby you got to take care of it.

    I have a Fiat Punto GT 1996. I have read some of the reviews and there are a few GT owners with the same problem I have. The fuel injector light comes on when I am booting it. I have had a new airflow meter put on and now the light isnt coming on but there is no power in 1st and 2nd gear and it is running really lean. Once I get the reeves up and the turbo kicks in the car runs really well. Can anyone help.

    All good until 1 day when I accelerate away the car misses like mad. It has started missing when under idle now too. If I put my foot down easy, it hardly misses and seems to go somewhere but still not right. Also the injector light comes on now and then, can anyone tell me what the problem is? I checked all my pipes, can't find any leaking pipes. HELP PLEASE.

    I have had my Punto gt for over 5 years. Since that time I have learnt many things through trial and error.


    These are the modifications I have learned should not be done on this car. I hope this helps some

    The car does not like atmospheric dump valves!!! It upsets the balance and smooth running of the engine. If using an atmos valve poor idling cutting out and loss of boost can be experienced. no true performance car has them!! I have binned my forge atmos in favour of a superior recirc ...

    I've owned my Fiat Punto for just over a year and haven't had any problems till the piston ring fried on cylinder 4 coz my radiator is in bad shape so the water pump didn't cool the cylinder. Will find out in a few days how bad the damage is when taking it apart. These are great cars but things do go wrong. If you look after them it will last well but be prepared for some time down the line something goes on it. I absolutely love the car and it's definitely worth buying if you are prepared to sh ...

    I'm on my second Fiat Punto GT and still love it to this day!! No real problems with either of them apart from being a bit hard to find parts for (especially original bodywork). Perfomance is superb and it leaves a lot of other cars in it wake. Only bad point is the fact that it drinks the juice like an alcoholic in a brewery! Really good cars!! Buy one! (Shame they haven't made a new turbo version because I'd be first on the list!)

    I've fitted a K&N cone filter, Mongoose exhaust with de-cat pipe, bleed valve, bailey dump valve with Samco hose and a super chip. Have had no problems with my Fiat Punto until now.
    What happens is when doing about 70mph plus and deck the pedal the car hesitates and jumps about and slowely picks up.The turbo spins up ok and ive replaced the Lambda sensor thinking it was this,but no difference.
    Can anyone help???

    I bought my Fiat Punto GT1 nearly two years ago, it is an M-reg and came with 112,000 miles on the clock. Fortunately, it also came with a full Fiat service history, and had been stripped and rebuilt by a good garage.

    I've owned two Fiats in the past, both of which were Tipos, the first being a 1.4 petrol, and the second a 1.9 TD. The GT was a dream for many years, and in late 2003 it became a reality. Needless to say it trounces both of my Tipos when it comes to performance, looks, and st ...

    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

    This Fiat Punto GT car is the nuts, I have owned my gt for about a month now, I bought it off a neighbour, he spent loads keeping the thing running and looking its best, running at just over 190 bhp the car is very quick, no one will believe its a 1.4. with its 17inch wheels and lowered 60mm it looks superb and sticks to the road like glue, only problem is the petrols gone before you have paid for it, and trying to drive it slow just doesn't happen.

    How much fun is this car....
    I have had my Fiat Punto GT3 for about a year now and have only just got it running again, as for the last 6 months it has been off the road as one of my exhaust manifold bolts sheared off in the head, therfore resulting in a 600 pound fee and me putting about 60hrs into it putting it together.
    One problem after another, manifold was cracked, camshaft shims and buckets also broke but finally got it together.
    New shims kent cam buckets etc, got head skimmed,
    And f ...

    The Fiat Punto GT Sports Car beats my mates vtr once the boost goes up but the petrol needle drops down with it. The punto gt standerd isn't as quick as you may think. There are quicker more tunerble cars out there with out turbo. The top end on the car is just over 120mph and it doesnt seem to have much power over 110mph. The handling of the car is a joke. Its to high up and feels like it wants to turn over. Saxos and a lot of other cars can show it up here. Best to lower it!! Most puntos nowad ...

    I've had my 1997 Fiat Punto GT for 2 months now and was pleased with it up until the turbo started to dump air when the boost came on. Now when driving the car as soon as the turbo kicks in the power goes flat. I've checked all pipes (and i mean all) no splits even had a VW tech double check all pipes and Turbo casing. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP.

    I've had my Fiat Punto GT now for approx two months and never looked back. Many people frowned at me when i said i was getting a GT TURBO instead of others cars such as the pug 106GTI which i looked at for many months but could'd find a desent one. I think it was mainly due to fiats history of making unrelible cars! Anyway i ignored everyones opinion and went to look at one, i liked it so much on the road test i bought it straight away. Its metalic blue and looks awesome, its got a full servce h ...

    The only problem i have with my Fiat Punto GT is finding tuning specialists for parts. I can find every other car just not Fiat no problem though just have to keep on looking, the injector light comes on every now and again but thats only when i'm pushing it. The cars great and I think looks a lot better then then new mark 3, shame they didn't bring out a gt version in the mark 2.

    Just bought a Fiat Punto GT Sports car....damn these are quick.
    Unfortunately got dent on passenger side that's gonna be a pain to sort. These use a lot of petrol as well so have to drive it conservatively for commuting etc.
    Planning mods e.g. dump valve, exhaust, air filter. Any recommendations?

    I have had my Fiat Punto GT for about a year now but everything has gone wrong with it and I have replaced all of the parts with standard ones!!! I have now changed my mind and want to modify but don't know where to start. Does anyone know an owners club website and can I have any ideas of what to do first.
