General My first car...and it's a Punto!

[holly_60sx]

Hi everyone, ive recently bought my first car, a MKI Fiat Punto 1.2 sx, red with blue interior, T reg.

As my dad owns an Alfa Romeo and is a member of their owner's club, i decided i wanted to join the Fiat owner's club!

So, im looking forward to chatting to you all about puntos, and I would be grateful if you could let me know of anything i should watch out for with my car; weak spots, etc.

Thanks!

welcome to the forum,
no week spots if you look after it, tempature gauge should be on half way or just above keep an eye on that and you should be ok.

oooh you lucky thing, that's what car I am looking for

How much did you pay for it and where did you get it from?

Enjoy it

i thought you wanted a black 5 door?

Well I did originally, but now I've been to a few auctions and seen just about every colour going, I kind of like the others now instead. Black looks a bit boring now compared to some of the weird and wonderful ones around. Plus I soon realised that I was never going to get to be so picky if I want to buy from auction

And I still prefer 5 doors, but if a 3 door comes along and everything else about it is right, I'm not going to turn my nose up at it

hi, we have a family friend who is a mechanic at an Alfa Romeo/Fiat garage so when it came in he told us and we bought it!

Dave...
ive checked the temperature gauge and thats all fine so hopefully i wont have any problems!
