Fiat Punto, to buy or not to buy?
Has anyone had any experience of owning the new shape Fiat Punto? My other half is keen to buy one and I have heard all the horror stories about Fiat's and their reliability, so if anyone has one or has had one I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

I have the new FIAT punto eleganza top of the range.
However I find that the new punto is not roomy inside (although longer in length) and has little storage. Also no spare wheel (you get an emergency repair instead) I find this worrying as I travel long distances. The new FIAT punto also does not do well on petrol. It is a thirsty car.
But it looks great and is very stylish. You can get lots of extras like internal blue tooth and USB ports, handy if you use the car like an office.
Hope this helps.

you can ask as many people for opinions as you like, And you will allways get horror stories,
No matter what car you care to name there will allways be somebody calling it crap, and the worst people for this are mechanics, how many mechanics do you know, do they all drive the same make of car,?
Most people who cry down their cars, do so because they have wrecked them by bad driving themselves,
Fiat have been arround a heck of a long time, and they havent survived by producing rubbish.
