What does it cost?
For The Fiat Punto is one of the biggest and best looking superminis, and it has a surprisingly smart interior, too. However, it’s the engines – particularly the 1.4 Multiairs – that really impress.
Against The low-speed ride is unsettled and the steering is vague. You might find it difficult get comfortable behind the wheel, too.
What Car? says
The Fiat Punto is a likeable small car with above average practicality and some extremely good engines. Shame it isn’t better to drive.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Fiat Punto has been treated to several face-lifts during its life, but it’s essentially the same car that went on sale in 2005 badged ‘Grande Punto’.
There’s a bewildering range of engines to choose from, but to keep things cheap most buyers are best off going for the 76bhp 1.4 petrol. However, the 0.9 Twinair is worth considering if you want a practical and cost-effective way to avoid the London Congestion Charge.
We reckon Easy trim is the best compromise on price and equipment. You get air-conditioning and alloy wheels, but you still might want to consider paying extra for Bluetooth and side airbags.
Whichever model you choose, make sure you shop around, because big discounts are available. Our Target Price gives a good indication of how much you should expect to save, but even bigger discounts are available online.
