Q: i was thinking of buying an 03 fiat punto but alot of people are saying there not a good car.
A: ive got a 2000 punto that ive had for a few years now and there are lots of issues with the power steering because it is electric. If it is cold outside the power steering fails regularly, and some difficult times e.g. when going around a corner. It can be hair raising at times. Its not just my car, its a punto fault, i researched it after it happened a few times and after spending a few quid at the local fiat garage and they suggested replacing the whole unit at 700+ even though its a known punto fault. Apart from that i love it to death and i would have another one in a minute, its a nippy wee car that runs like a dream. I hate the newer shape though, they lost all the sexy angles off the back lights. Oh and the elx version is much much cuter lol.
