Grande Punto Hello fellow Fiat Fans! :)

[MyConnor5]

Hi guys,

I just wanted to so hi, and ask a few questions.

Basically, I am finally at the age where I can get my first car after passing my test first time

I have always been a huge car fan for as long as I can remember, and for over the last year have been researching all of the different cars that I could buy with my budget of about £6k...

However, I have found it increasingly more difficult to find a car that ticks all the boxes for me, until I stumbled upon the Grande Punto 1.4 t-jet sporting, which pretty much seems the perfect first car for me!

Anyway, before I go out and buy one of these little beuts I have a few questions to ask about Fiat in general...

My main question is about reliability, I know reliability depends on a whole lot of different things. But generally has the 1.4 T-Jet engine had any problems with reliability or anything significant wrong with them. The one that I am currently looking to buy is late 2008 (58 reg) and has covered 50k miles, should i be ok?

I am also a big music fan, so i was wondering if anyone knew what the stock speakers were like on the sporting version (believe it has 40w coming from 6 speakers- 4 mid-range and 2 tweeters)...

Anyway thanks for your time, and hope to hear from someone soon

Hi I currently own a 59 plate T-jet and my friend GYoung87 has owned one for a number of years. There have been no major issues with the t-jet engine. Definitely a strong unit in the range.
With regards to the speakers they are 'ok' not great for loud music, if this is main reason then upgrade them IMO. I'm sure there is a guide on replacing them on the forum.
