1992 Fiat Punto elx 90 1.2 multipoint from UK and Ireland
Summary:
This car is total utter garbage!!!¬
Faults:
Where can I start, the first two months I bought it the cylinder head blew and I had to get that replace also the head needed skimming, which cost me £450
Then I found out that my crank oil seals needed replacing.
Three week after that I needed a new rocker gasket.
Then there was an injector problem, which started to occur on the motorway
Then I found out my big ends were broken so I got those replaced.
Then I needed new rack ends for the fiat.
This car is the worst car of the decade do not buy one! I could write a horror story about it.
General Comments:
The fiat punto is sluggish, struggles when pushed
It handles like the titanic every corner the tyres are squealing,
The suspension is too soft, there is a common problem with the baffles in the exhaust.
But the Punto is very roomy.
Has a bright interior light
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I had 4 of them; 96 to 99. 1.1 and 1.2, and they are a good car. I never had to do a head on one yet.
