The role of the Fiat Grande Punto is simple – it takes the popular Fiat Punto design to a new level. As a supermini, the Fiat Grande Punto was the biggest car in its class on its launch and this is reflected through more legroom and greater storage space. The Fiat Grande Punto is widely considered to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars in its class. Though the Fiat Punto dates back to 1993, the Fiat Grande Punto began life in 2005 and has noticeably modern good looks. The Fiat Grande Punto is an economical car with sharp performance that stands above its class.

Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 2006

I don’t regret buying the Grande Punto but part of me feels that I could have done better for the money. If I had the decision to make again I may opt for the Vauxhall Corsa or the VW Golf. It managed to pick one up new for a pretty good price and I have to admit that I was impressed with the style and interior design. The downside for me was the lack of space for passengers, poor suspension and the lack of engine power.

Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 TJet 120 Sporting (3DR) 2007

Brilliant car. Well designed and amazing to drive. The power that is put out of such a small (but turbocharged) engine is flawless. Spec says you can reach 60mph in 8.9 however I think this time could be slashed in reality. The blue&me is very simple to use and is quite a nice addition to have your phones phonebook listed where your mileage is. Voice commands are very simple. You just click the "windows" button on the steering wheel and say "Help" and it tells you the available commands for that option level. Got mine for £10000 brand new and I love it! 5*****

Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 dynamic dual logic 2006

We purchased 2 1.4 grand’s from Piccadilly in Knaresborough. This one has had its fair share of problems but the tailgate holding water fault has happened to both vehicles and gives me most concern. Our Dealer is one of the better ones though and all faults have been rectified to date. The thing about these cars is that you get a lot of car for a little money. Yes, you do seem to get niggling faults at first, I should know, we’ve had over 10 fiats but once sorted you get a great car!!!!!!

Fiat Grande Punto 1.9 Multijet Sporting 3 door 2007

Recently purchased my Punto, find it a great car to drive and very good on the fuel with it being diesel, it has the poke when u need it and is quick off the mark and also loves 6th gear on any long run, has all the extras for a good price and has many more than what classy cars have e.g. heated seats, mp3 player plug in, sexy driver etc.......

Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 Dynamic 2006

At first I was very satisfied with my choice and purchase of this great looking car, however if only the reliability matched this first impression. The car was recalled to fix a steering support (fair enough, these things happen). Then the dashboard came away from its fixings. That had to be replaced after the fix failed on the same day of collection. Now there is an electrical fault that tells you that the fluid temp is too high, this before you even pull away after standing overnight, again told it’s an easy fix just a software upgrade This too failed to remedy on the day of collection same old story, and now waiting for it to go in for further "investigation" COME ON FIAT WHAT’S GOING ON!! Hope this time they can actually solve something.

Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 Dynamic 2007

The Grande Punto is excellent value for money, spacious inside and gives you a nice sense of safety when at the wheel. The reason I can’t award the Grande Punto 5 starts is because the ride is a bit too hard with slightly too much road noise. It drives well as a whole though and I would definately recommend this to anybody looking for a roomy supermini.

Fiat Grande Punto

We have a problem with the door handle too which is about to be fixed. has anyone a problem with the ignition lock because we have this now too As mentioned before this has also taken the excitement out of having a new as we have also had two recalls and our dealer is rubbish too extremely unhelpful.

Fiat Grande Punto 1.2i Active 3dr

We have a Fiat Punto Grande Active on our vehicle fleet! Didn’t know what to expect however I am happy to say that it has been a great work horse! Plenty of boot space, great engine, goes well for a 1.2 injection. Active Specification Includes: 2 Rear Head restraints, 3 Yr/60000 Warranty, ABS With EBD, Adjustable S/Wheel, Drivers Airbag, Drop Cloth Upholstery, Drs St Adjustable M + Side Airbags, Dual drive Power Steering, Electric Front Windows, Electric Heated Mirrors, Immobiliser, Passenger Airbag, Remote Central Locking, Single CD and Radio and Solid Paint. For further details on specification go to the Manufacturers Website. By far one of the best looking small hatch’s in its category. Cheap running costs and the Insurance is only a group 2, Ideal for younger drivers. You get a great car for the money, working for Acorn I can confirm Contract Hire prices range from circa 110 pounds per month and most Dealers will offer a good purchase price with or with out a part exchange!
