Fiat Punto Review
Fiat January 16th, 2009
The Fiat Punto cabin is easily accessible, thanks to the cars doors. The doors open wide enough to allow easy access to the car’s seats. The boot is also easily accessible and access shouldn’t be a problem.
The Punto may be a little difficult to park due to limited rear visibility. The car’s side mirrors and smaller size help out a lot when it comes to parking.
All of the engines on offer are good, but the Fiat Punto does lack something as far as drive experience is concerned. Punto may have improved its ride but isn’t as good as some competitors. The Punto does boast sharp handling and good grip though.
The Punto could be used as a family car to a small family. Passenger space is adequate and the car’s boot is a sensible size. It may make a better second car to a family.
The Punto would make an excellent first car. It provides good levels of cabin space and is still small and affordable. Insurance rates will be low and fuel economy should be very good. The Punto is easy to drive and would make an excellent first car.
The Fiat Punto offers an attractive exterior design. Fiat has often been associated with cheaper products and it will have a difficult time losing that image, the Punto’s cabin has been designed with cheap plastics.
The Fiat Punto standard security feature includes an engine immobilizer. As shocking as it is, deadbolts do not come as standard fit on the Punto.
The Punto comes equipped standard with driver and passenger airbags which vary their deployment according to the severity of the impact. The Punto has received a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP.
The Fiat Punto standard audio unit includes a radio/CD player. The unit delivers good sound quality and helps to drown out the noise from the engine. The unit’s controls are large and easy to work.
The Punto comes with a high standard of equipment. The car boasts electric front windows, remote locking, a CD player, follow-me-home lights, anti-lock brakes with EBD and ISOFIX child-seat mounting points. Only Dynamic trim receives air-conditioning.
