Fiat Punto 1.9 JTD

...my way to our local Fiat dealer, there on the forecourt was a 1.9JTD Eleganza. To cut a long story short, I went, I saw, I drove, my dad haggled, I bought! Cost I bought this car in April 2003, it was sat on the forecourt, already with a number plate and tax disc. The milometer read 12 miles when I first saw it and 22 when I bought it after a little test drive. The cost was £8995, which we whittled down to £8750. I believe that these cars retail ...
...me. Comfort The Fiat Punto is nothing special in terms of comfort. The furthest I have driven in it without a break was to Taunton (about 160 miles), and when I got out I was a little stiff. I quite often find that I have to lean forward when driving to stretch my back out, even with a lumber support, height adjustable drivers seat and steering wheel, which is not something I have needed to do in other cars. All in all this car is most comfortable ...

Review of Fiat Punto 1.9 JTD

Just got a new Punto 1.9 JTD - what a wonderful car. The fuel economy is excellent, we can get upto 70mpg on a straight run. It is vey nippy, the acceleration is a dream and it is very comfortable. It easily seats 5 people, and my husband (who is 6'2") has loads of head room. It is almost like a large car to drive. One thing about price - I got 2,000 pounds off list price by getting an internet quote and taking it along to the dealer. They are ...

Review of Fiat Punto 1.9 JTD

I purchased my Punto 1.9JTD in July 2001 for £8500.00, not cheap for an ex-demo with 7000 miles on the clock, but hard to find at the time, It looked good in metallic silver with blue trim, with optional alloy wheels, and came well equipped with all the usual goodies plus 10 disc CD changer and up-graded Blaupunkt 6 speaker Hi-Fi. On the test drive I couldn't beleive how far diesel engines had advanced. The latest common rail direct injection engine ...
...immediately smitten. A short drive was enough to ensure a sale. I couldn't wait to get it home. Now,2 years on, I am still smitten.The interior space is excellent, it drives and handles as well as it looks,and its economy is remarkable averaging 42 mpg.The bodywork has suffered a few knocks, but has stood up well to hard use.A really useful feature is the trip computer giving all sorts of information on economy,elapsed time and various other items ...

Review of Fiat Punto 1.9 JTD

2001 fiat punto - 1.9 turbo diesel my first ever car!!! only ever driven little vans before, so this is like luxury. mine is a top spec model, so air con, sunroof, heated windscreen, great sound system, city mode etc. only costs £40 to fill up, for now anyway! extremely easy to drive, very comfy. have never used the city mode yet as i've never needed to, very nippy car and if you put your foot down its great once the turbo kicks in. good sized ...
...even though its a small car it still feels quite roomy, way better than corsa's etc. interior's a manky grey colour, but its comfy so who cares! only problem we've had is with the power steering. a motor stopped working on it, so that was £300 to fix, but its not a new car. apparently this is a common problem. ...
