Hi guys.


This is my first post related to Fiats. I currently own a 2002 Fiat Punto Active 1.2 3dr, it's my first car and I love it. But it has got scratches and paint on it (My friend borrow it for work and he's a painter) So I am disappointed with the condition. My first insurance policy is up soon and I have just bought a 2008 Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 Active 5DR 72'000 miles on clock for £800 because it's off a friend. I've checked the engine and relevant stuff and it's nothing but a bargain!


Anyway... I'm aware with most of the issues relating to the MK2 Punto, but I would like to know details and what I should look out for in this Punto I'm getting... (Speakers any good, oil leaks, engine failures....)
