Hi everyone, recently I bought my first car a Punto 1.2 litre (2001 5 dr) and although I only have it a short time Im already experiencing a lot of problems :bang: :bang:
I dont know much about cars and never drove a Punto prior to this. I bought it from a "friend" who told me he didnt have any problems but already I had to put in a new battery, the shocks are worn, brake sounds a bit dodgy and also its leaking oil! Im just wondering if anyone with the same model experienced a lot of problems? Or if anyone has had good experiences with this car? As I wonder whether to hang on to this car and go to the bother of NCT'ing it (it currently has NCT but only until January) or whether to get rid! I have one extremely smarmy friend telling me that Fiat is the worst car ever etc but I havent had any more balanced opinions..thanks!
