The compact hatchback Fiat Punto was first introduced on the market in 2005. In 2012, the model was restored. Despite its advanced age, this car successfully fights for a place in the top 10 European bestsellers.
Thanks to restyling, the hatchback looks fresh and modern. On the face of a small car – a fervent and even cartoon expression. That is why you can more often see young motorists while driving Punto.
Interior interior of the novelty to match the appearance. The steering wheel is regulated in two directions, which allows any driver to sit in a car with convenience. The door handles are illuminated by the points of LEDs – such a trifle significantly improves the overall impression.
Manufacturers position Fiat Punto as a five -seater car, but not every owner will risk taking more than three adult passengers on board. There is enough space for two riders on the back sofa. The hatchback compartment for only 270 liters is not a record, but a few bags from the supermarket will fit. Having folded the rear row of seats, you can get a more cubic meter of useful space for the carriage of baggage.
Punto is a car intended more for trips around the metropolis. Therefore, Italian manufacturers provided for the equipment of the hatchback modest power unit. A 1.4-liter motor with a capacity of 77 horsepower will allow you to stay quite normally in the rhythm of the city stream. Such a power unit is quite economical: even when traveling in traffic jams and during winter warming, the average gasoline consumption is 7.8 liters per 100 km of path. The transmission provides a robotic five -speed DLOGIC gearbox.
And how the southerner Punto transfers Russian roads and Russian cold? The hatchback body does not cause complaints about the quality of color and is well protected from the development of rust, and corrosion of individual elements is a certificate of poor -quality repair transferred by the car. Experts also argue that Punto power units are quite reliable, but this cannot be argued about the robotic transmission. The problem lies in the cuffs in the hydroblok, which begin to leak in severe frosts.
Russians, who, as you know, love fast driving, are in no hurry to purchase a perky fiat punto, equipped with a modest engine as a personal car. But those who like the cars of this popular brand, experts recommend paying attention to the models equipped with the good old “mechanics”.
