Got myself a 2nd hand Grande Punto Dynamic a couple of days ago, seriously pleased with it and got a good deal too.
So far ive come across two problems - the rear left door can be hard to open from outside (seen in the forums this is a known problem with an easy fix, ill be taking this to the dealers for that one if it continues)
2nd 'problem': When I start the car, as soon as air starts circulating, the car stinks, smells like a dog has shat itself in the air vents. The smell fades fairly quickly and disappears once the car is moving, so Im guessing its something near the air intake where smells build up while stationary...
where does air enter the system? Ive had a look around and have found the recurculation intake behind the glove box, cant see anything under the bonnet though. This isnt an aircon thing because there is no difference with the aircon on or off.

or as Tommy said my just need a air-con spray to get rid of smell.
