    Well, where do I start? I bought my red Fiat Punto in January 2009. As I had just passed my test this car was a dream when first bought. I must say it's great as a first car, although I struggled 70 on the motorway, under the bonnet is cheap and worst of all in the MIA's is the bright blue seats. However this was bought as a present for passing my driving test. As mentioned in previous reviews is the car as box standard, nothing special about it. It doesn't even have a rev counter or temperature gauge. City mode I guess could be quite useful although I've never properly used it myself, last time I used it the power steering pump died and had to replace for £300 plus labour which apparently problematic with all punto's. On a good note, I play in a band, and I've carried all of our instruments (including a double bass, two amplifiers, guitars etc. comfortable with the rear seats down. Also another thing is that because there's nothing special/electric about there's less to go wrong with it, which I suppose is good with Fiats. I'm now in the market looking at an Fiat Punto ActiveSport as the 8v 1.2 engine is absolutely appalling.

    For the record, no I'm not a speed freak/boyracer, but the engine just isn't powerful enough for all round driving.

    It's a car of Magic, I've driven my Fiat Punto 1.2 Mia for ages and after what bad mouthing I've heard, I have found this car to be the ideal for young driver's. People say this car will break down, but I say they are wrong or just drive pedal to the floor. This car has given me no problems, never has it even coughed on me, I was wanting to upgrade for a while until I found this to be more cost effective and the fact that it suits my needs in every way.

    The Fiat Punto 1.2 Mia requires an adjustment of expectation. There's nothing fundamentally wrong or unsafe about it; it's just basic. It's low performance as distinct from under-performance.

    Over the last 11 years, I've had several Puntos. This is the lowest spec one I've ever had, and being at the bottom of the range, it lacks the zip and the refinements of my previous twin cam ELXs. It had one previous owner who put about 50K miles on it.

    Having said that, nothing has failed, broken ...

    I bought my Fiat Punto in 2003 and kept it about 10 months. The car was ok'ish, and as this was the first newish car I had bought, I was very pleased with it. The car never gave me any mechanical problems and always started first time, however after having the car 3 months I realised just how basic it was inside, but then again, I did buy the basic model!!!The gears are terrible in them. As I use my car to and from work- and as in any city centre (Crawling traffic) the gearbox cant handle chang ...
