What Car? says
For The Punto has a practical, hard-wearing and roomy cabin
Against The ride quality leaves a bit to be desired
Verdict
Gives you a lot of space for a little cash
Go for… 1.2 (80) Dynamic
Avoid… 1.2 (60)
- 1. You can fit three in the back without too much sweat - mighty impressive for a supermini
- 2. Clutches can break after as few as 40,000 miles, especially if the car has spent most of its life on city streets
- 3. Make sure you check the power steering system, as it has been known to fail
- 4. Listen to the suspension on a test drive. It can rattle even on low-mileage models
- 5. The car's cooling and heating system can be a weak point, so check it out thoroughly before you buy
