A Fiat that has never gone wrong?
At first I didn't believe it but then remembered hearing a story about an employee exchange program between Toyota and Fiat, this one was obviously built when the Japs were there lol
On a serious note my daughter's first car was an old Punto and that didn't give any serious trouble, it was also fun to drive despite being slow.
Good luck with the sale

Project Debut II

My old Fiat Punto ran faultlessly for 2 years, right up until it tried to scupper my Hogmanay plans by blowing up its engine just south of Tebay services. But I don't give up that easily - got a tow home, jumped in the van and set off again.
Cost me £700 for a secondhand replacement engine, but got a performance upgrade from 55bhp to 60. So that was nice.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

I had a red 56 reg before this one and again it ran faultless , Ended up giving it to my daughter when her nearly new fiesta was stolen

I like them roadsters they're doing these days, I think they call them a spider or spyder or something.

We bought pre-reg Fiat 500 last year. Absolutely zero teething troubles. Drives brilliantly, genuinely a good little car.

I like the way they do the dash in a colour that matches the bodywork (looks like steel but probably is plastic). Anita doesn't get it, but I'd happily have one - there's just something honest and straight looking about them I bet the Abarth versions are a real hoot to driveOriginally Posted by JohnJo
