only looking at around 10 or 11k, and most cars i've seen for this are pretty crappy

Can of worms about to be opened.

Personally I bought one new 10 years ago and it had a few niggly problems, I still bought more Fiats and an Alfa, but that was back when they were the only affordable half decently specced nice looking car.

The Grande Punto is a bit long in the tooth now, and the Punto evo is only a halfarsed facelift. I don't think I'd pass over a Clio with 5 years warranty for a Punto.

Grande Punto not a bit seller, and any stories you're likely to hear will be about Mk1 or Mk2 Puntos.

was looking at the clio alright, just doesn't look as nice and there's a hell of a price difference between the 3DR and 5DR

do like the look of the grande clio though

mates brother had a punto and the engines literally fell out of it in the end. just not sure if these are old issues or they're still about
