If you want an individual look, there are colours and interiors you'll love
Lots of car for the money and no mistake
Big car feeling of solidity and a great safety rating
Gripes
The entry level edition feels a bit underpowered for the size of the car
Some of the interior plastic and trim could be better quality
Wind noise inside the cabin at speed, so crank up that stereo
Drive Great for tootling around town and rock solid enough on the motorway to feel like you're in a much larger car
Reliability Running costs should stay quite low after your bargain-price purchase, but don’t expect the car to hold its value more than other, lesser cars in this segment
Inside Lots of styling options mean it's possible to be really individual with spec. Some plastics feel a bit on the flimsy side though
Space The Punto feels much bigger than you'd expect – perhaps that's where the 'Grande' bit comes in then?
Safety Great five star NCAP score means it's one of the safest cars in its class. The number of airbags varies according to trim level
Standards and extras We love the 'follow-me-home' lights that go off only after a specified time. All models also get ISOFIX child seat mountings and remote central locking
