MODEL TESTED/PUBLISHED:
1 .3 JTD 17 June 2004 Out with the old and in with the new. If the old Punto van went by pretty much unnoticed, then the new model should attract a lot more attention thanks to its progressive design and increased dimensionsfreeing up space in the cockpit and load area.
Under the bonnet you have one of the finest small engines in the light CV market. Its 1.3-litre engine spins through the revs, delivering a progressive stream of usable power with fuel economy to be proud of the typi Gaily Italian interior offers a dash of individuality and style.
Unfortunately the Punto is destined to sell in only small numbers due to a legacy of unreliability but the current model is far more solid than the previous one and deserves a second look, especially once you factor in its competitive pricing.
