You spelt you're own name wrong:chin: Turrah!
 
My father had Punto 55 for 10 years, he bought it new and made 170.000km, then it was sold. The only thing that went wrong in engine bay were alternator bearings at 140.000km. It was a great car and it never broke down except small and easy to fix problems: snapped hose for washing rear window, broken valve for washing front window, relay at rear wiper motor, brake switch.
 
Cant really blame the car for any break, if it were to sit in a showroom its whole life it wudnt break,
it's how theyre driven, sounds like its been thrashed if a list gets that big
Only thing thats broken on my punto was when i got it the rear washer hose had disconnected, i'd call punto reliable (as far as fiats go that is :p) if driven responsibly.
 
couldnt agree more, if its looked after and not thrashed it will last for ever, same with most things some care are just rubbish build quality though. Ive been driving my punto for over 12 months since i first got it. Ive had a new clutch (as they wear anyway) new headgasket as the day I got it unknown to me the thermostat failed) apart from that its been awesome and if I need it to I can put my foot down to 5500 rmp without a second thought. dont like to though, generally change gears by or before the 3000 rmp mark.

How the hell have you got through your adult life and pro-created(had children) with such bad english & grammar and basic computer skills. Learn to use CAPS LOCK key!.

Pug 206 are overated piles of french toss put together by frogs on acid. most of them are beyond economical repair once they hit 60-70k.

Corsa 1.2 SXI with 17" wheels, wow theres something I haven't seen before. I hope you like replacing diffs, gearboxes, wheel bearings and piston rings (those engines are really common for blowing them). Well done on buying a shed.
 
Y the Vauxhall Corsa :yuck::yuck::yuck::yuck: Does is have a BIG RED L on the top and a BSM sticker on it!!! lol goodbye and god bless!!
