After years of being told to stay away from Fiat due to reliability issues I actually visited a showroom today and although I didn't get a chance to drive a Punto I may try in future. To be fair to Fiat the only people I know who have older models here say that they have been reliable so I figured that is a good start, however as yet I know of no one with a 2012 Punto, so I'd appreciate your views?
- What are the common problems which occur?
- Which engine do you recommend for mainly city but also 2-3hr motorway drives? I amnot after the most expensive ones!
- How reliable have you found the car?
- The reviews are not great but how do you find driving it?
- Do you recommend taking out an extra warranty?
- If you have experience of other superminis how does the Punto compare?
Any other comments welcome.
Cheers,

ps. Iive in Euroland so models/pricing may vary slightly.
