FIAT Punto are they really that bad?

Hey

Have been looking into picking up a small hatchback around 2k mark and came across couple of good value low mileage 05/06 I really like the look of the 2006, are they as bad as everyone says for the money i could pick up a 2003 fiesta or 2006 Punto.

Am i better to just stay away from them? oh ya it would be my 1st car

Any input is appreciated thanks

My 2002 punto is lovely to drive.Since buying new its had a few repairs but nothing out of the ordinary.I think Fiats less than glorious reputation is old hat now as there are no bad cars these days.

The 2006 Grande Punto is a good car, 1.4 litre 16v Sporting is the pick of the bunch.

I've an 07 Punto Grande, runs like a dream, pretty good on fuel, no issues.
