General Welcome to the New Punto 2012 section
Glad you are enjoying it
nice spec and the double sunroof is a big bonus ,nice smooth comfortable drive you can hardly tell its a diesel.Glad you are enjoying it
I'll be honest, my Mrs phones me from the Blue and me while she was driving home from the dealer, I thought she was at home. No idea she was in the car. Only thing they forgot was the spare wheel so have to wait for that
I did not even know the spare wheel was an option mine came with the repair kit only ,i`m trying to source a spare but they seem to be rare!!
We asked at the dealer when we ordered it if we could have one instead of the kit. Had to pay a little extra but no real problem. It should be with us Friday.... apparently.
Did you get your spare and are you enjoying the car ?
Picking the spare up tomorrow as i have been unable to get to the dealer (its all work work work)
Loving the car still. I cannot believe how quite is is for a diesel and it is damn comfy.
How are things with yours?
Yes it is quiet sometimes you don`t think it`s a diesel. it`s smooth ,comfy and cruise control is great ,yes i know what you mean about work
Our new Easy 1.4 77bhp wascollected today. We couldn't collect it any earlier as we were away in France and Spain in the 116d
I had asked for the oval exhaust trim, f&r flaps, under bonnet sound insulation and chrome grille to be supplied but not fitted.
Well this didn't happen The exhaust trim is the two port blank one - ahhh well it'll do; the flaps were correct; the chrome grille isn't the one for the 2012 car so back we go tomorrow:bang: . As for the bonnet trim - I was told they couldn't find it on their parts list - It must be part of the bonnet - we will ask Fiat UK where it is.
Best thing is they had a diesel in the showroom with one fitted:bang::bang::bang:
I have tried just now to look at ePer on here but it isn't new enough. Is there a newer version somewhere I can look at and fid the part number for the ****** ****** ******* ****** ?
Apart from that there were two small chips out of the paint - OS flank and NSF h/lamp. Oh and we didn't get the handbook or service books in the car - only noticed when we got home:bang::bang::bang:
Deep joy

Insualation part number? http://fiatonline.com.ua/home.html?page=shop.browse&category_id=544024
Their lack of ability continues!I took the grille back last Saturday for a refund and was told that they would refund my card but couldn't do it there and then as they hadn't the authority to do so. Fair enough.
Anyway Wednesday I get a call to say a cheque is waiting for me because it is company policy
Yesterday I went to the dealer only to find this was the case or so the parts fellow said. :yuck:So a visit to the Dealer Principle and I found out it was not policy to issue cheques - just incompetence:bang:
They did order the bonnet insulation:slayer:.
When I asked for an accessory brochure for the 2012 Punto I was given one for a GP and Evo
The DP said he would send on the correct one but I am wondering if there is actually such a thing as maybe Fiat UK hasn't published one yet. Time will tell.
Oh the joys
PS the car is great
Looks like your dealership needs a kick up the a***
Nice cars though.
Nice cars though.
I agree they could do with a good kicking. Still, it was better than 4 years ago when I last had the mishap to use them; at least they didn't tell me out and out lies this time.
It is just incompetence this time

As far as I am aware there is not an accessory brochure for the Punto MY 2012 (yet) I imagine that they are still trying to shift a fair amount of EVO bits and are biding there time.
Agree with you though. The car is fantastic.
Having checked with another dealer today they weren't able to supply one either. So this backs up your thoughts.
Yes i`m just past 2000 miles already and so far it has been a complete pleasure to drive,and saving money on fuel also
Hi all
Just a 1000 miles up for ours so far. The mpg is very good at an overall 45mpg. The best on a run I have seen after a long run was 49.7mpg for the trip.
