1998 Fiat Punto 60 SX 1.2
Summary:
It's a fine car for a small family and to the beginners. Very fun to drive and fast to respond
Faults:
The plastics of the doors were already screwed up, when I bought it, but I feel they are very fragile against shock.
One of the front wheels hits the car body when it is completely turned, to the left I think... even after I made a direction alignment.
General Comments:
It has a pretty high consumption of gasoline in urban circuit.
The gearbox is easy to handle, and each gear sequence is quite short so you may drive at 35km/h and still go on 4th gear.
It has a good maximum speed and great acceleration for a car of it's scale, I should say about 9 seconds to reach the 100km/h and maximum speed of 185km/h.
The suspension is not soft, so you could expect to feel every hole in the road with the serie's suspension.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I totally agree with your review. I owned a Punto Sporting for the last four years and I can honestly say that I didn't have a thing wrong with it in that entire time!
It's a great little car and lots of fun to drive. I would recommend it to anyone.
I've now switched to a Seat Leon, but I'm missing my Punto like mad.
