Great-looking hot hatch properly designed for a good time, grippy, rapid and involving. Great heritage too. Esseesse kit makes it riotously entertaining.
The jury is out on the ride comfort until we try them in the UK, and Grande Punto cabin feels cheap.
Fiat shows again that it understands its past and knows how to make it work in the present. This is a proper hot hatch, especially in wonderfully non-PC Esseesse form, and great value.
Insurance groups have yet to be decided, but the Punto safety score and the standard-fit ESP should help keep the groupings quite low, as - in the case of the Essesse - will the fact that the kits have to be fitted by an official agent and are properly developed, tested and certified.
