I bought my Grande Punto 1.4 as a runabout until I have my Grand Voyager gearbox fixed and then sell the Fiat. However that was the plan but not now. When my Chrysler is fixed I will be selling it and keeping the Fiat.
I'm enjoying £165 road tax v £360 road tax.
I'm enjoying 43 mpg on short runs v 22 mpg.
I love the 61 mpg motorway driving v 38 mpg.
The only drawback is the 77 bhp which leaves the car struggling on some Welsh hills. Next year I will be swapping over to a 1.4 16v rather than 1.4 8v I currently have. I could get an Abarth model but I don't need the extra power.
The fuel figures were a little higher on the display but experience has taught me that the figures are inaccurate, so I reset the trip mileage and then fill the fuel tank.
