Re: What do you hate about the mk2 Punto?

1.4 or 1.2?


1.2 is OK, but wouldn't call it sporty, loves to rev.

1.4b is much better, and don't really cost much more. more noticably, it has torques

Re: What do you hate about the mk2 Punto?

well i like the shape of the mk2 better than the mk2b, so its gotta be the 1.2 i suppose i could wait for the right one to come up at the sales, but ive got my eye on one at a dealers, 39k, 52 plate, immaculate, 6 month tax 12 month MOT, 3 grand, not that bad a price, unless someone else can persuade me otherwise....

Re: What do you hate about the mk2 Punto?

All the things mentioned, I have and hate also...

Worst thing is that juddery clutch, just dont know why I spent so much time posting, waitting for help, and at the end I saw that everyone has this problem (beside these "trusty" forum memebers that have no problems whatsoever, yeah right)

It does feel like the year it was manufactured, it's not 20th century, but not quite 21st...

Wouldnt buy it again.

What will you spend it on?

I just cant beleive that someone had no problems with punto for 100k km, if it was any other make it would have something gone wrong, even 50k EUR car
