Fiat Punto – A small car of big significance
Today, I’m going to tell the story of one of the most best-selling and actually significant European cars of the Nineties - the Fiat Punto produced in 3 generations and quantity of 9 million units from 1993 to 2018.
The design of the Punto was developed by the famous Giorgetto Giugiaro but there was an interesting twist.
The design was very balanced and modern for its time and the Punto had a couple of very interesting design solutions.
Inside, the Punto could offer more than you expected. The interior was very modern for the 90’s with many circles and ovals according to Italian car design fashion trends of that time. And it was unexpectedly comfortable.
The car was very light, so even with the smallest engines the Punto could easily keep up with the traffic in cities. And the GT version was a really active and fun-to-drive car.
For many young European drivers in the 90’s and 2000’s, the Fiat Punto was the first car. And for many families, particularly in Eastern Europe, it became a trustworthy friend for many years.
It was a good, very popular, and significant car. A car that raised up a whole generation of European drivers. A car that deserves to be remembered and praised.

      The 145 really was an amazing car, but it was slightly bigger sharing the platform with Fiat Bravo. I'll make a video about the 145 someday. Fiat really did install an Alfa Romeo engine into the Punto with a new roadster body and called that Fiat Barchetta - also a good story that I'll tell someday :)

    I ordered one at the UK motor show to replace my Eclat. After the test drive, I was underwhelmed and disappointed with the front wheel drive. I couldn’t justify the large cost difference especially when I consider that the Eclat out handled the new Elan. I ended up buying a second hand Ferrari 308GTB. Another story and one that I’d wished I’d started earlier. 😎 BTW my Eclat was the best handling car. Even after 3 Ferraris.

    Hi, I own a Citroen XM Y4 V6 (1998 with facelift and the newer V6) since November 2018 and use it as my daily. Most of your video is very informative and accurate. But as @famousutopias I have to absolutely argue your comment that the suspension is dangerous! 11th July 2020, we were on a dead straight A-category road at the allowed 100kph when just in front of us an SUV pulled out of the forest. There was no visible junction and I checked later it was a tiny forest road with a no entry sign. I could not expect that. Heading straight towards that SUV I could slow down to around 80-85kph, then I had to decide in an instant: Either crash head on into him or steer to the ditch. Head on at that speed I would not have survived, so I went for the ditch. Ditch spit me out the other side, I even had to steer accordingly as the road itself was dead straight. This XM allowed me that. I hardly even felt it in the steering wheel, XM ploughed through that ditch at 80kph as if it was nothing. I am absolutely convinced every other car I ever had before, that included the XM-sister Peugeot 605, a Peugeot 205 GTI, a 4x4 Subaru Impreza, would have rolled in that moment. The XM simply was not botherted by it at all! I had a 15 months old baby on board! This XM not only saved my life, it changed the life of my son forever! Accepted mine is the newer Y4 (1994 facelift) with the hydractive2 suspension, I would not be able to tell you how bad an early Y3 was in conering. But I do doubt a lot it was bad. Ever heard of the Elch/Mouse test the XM’s little sister Xantia Activa is to the day the best and safest car ever in this test. This Xantia is also 1998 and did not even have ESP. And this test is about cornering, hardly possible that a Xantia without ESP beats Ferraris, Porsches and the likes if the base car was so dangerous? Another observation is: Why do people think Citroen HP is not sporty? Again mine is 1998, so sadly I do not have the DIRAVI steering any more. But what everybody forgets: The brakes going over the HP means the big Citroens do not actually have a brake server. No brake server means yes a little more foot power, but far less brake pedal travel, firmer pedal, the LHM oil instead of brake fluid means it doesn’t attract water, it will never boil, never vapourise. It is always the same accurate brake feel! It simply does not know brake fading! Even if you load the rear, more weight on the rear = more pressure on the rear = more brake bias to the rear, the car always behaves the same and is super easy to handle. I had a Peugeot 205 GTI before and of course it would be brave to say the XM is as sporty. But the 205 GTI had a short wheel base, was nippy but also bouncy on the rear axle and that could indeed be dangerous at high speeds. The XM has not only the stiff and accurate brake pedal, bumps and holes on the entry of a corner just do not impress her one bit! Absolutely nobody with common suspension manages a combination of soft ride and sporty accuracy like that at all! The car is functional as well with its tailgate, large boot (biggest estate, though mine is a conventional one) and I keep hearing auto testers saying it feels much smaller than it is, which is pretty much hitting the point. I had the 605 before, I had it for 8 years, I loved the 605, but the 605 did feel like a heavy car and still would not have safed my and Julian’s life on that 11th July 2020! I loved that 605 to bits, I had it many years, but the XM is more functrional, more comfy, but most surpising of all: a lot more sporty, engaging and fun to drive! Nearly like a 205 GTI, only safer too! Where the 205 GTI was wild and fun, yes the XM is less wild, but carries my kid, pram and luggage and it still is a lot of fun! Vandalising corners the 205 GTI gets unsettled, the XM doesn’t get unsettled at all and its brakes are way more accurate and pointy too, and that exactly because of the HP! Final remark: RELIABILITY: The system is even quite simple, but a Citroen trademark. It is tricky for nobody else developped into this direction (sadly not even Citroen after falling into Peugeot’s claws). YES: If you lose pressure you do have a serious problem, suspension, steering, brakes, all gone at once... But what people overlook: This system runs on 120 bars pressure. The pipes are stainless steel and constantly filled with mineral oil. They do not rust! Not even after 26 years (which is the age of my XM). If there is a leak, then it is a return pipe, they are made of rubber and yes they do age, but you can basically fix that with a piece of garden hose! Maybe that is over simplified. But I hope I gave an understandable description why this system is so great, and in fact simple, and in fact not dangerous at all. @famousutopias had his life saved twice, I had my life saved and my son was saved from becoming an orphan aged 15 months. There is a reason why I will never ever forget the date 11th July 2020! This suspension system is neither dangerous, nor complicated, sorry! This car saved my life and changed the life of a loving son who was at that point only 15 months old! It saved my entire family! This wet grass deep ditch, I still can’t believe she just ploughed through as if it was nothing. Come the next corner, she still is sharp and fun to the day! HP Citroens are comfy? They are far far more than that, they are safe and fun, right in contrary to your video!

      I would absolutely agree- I have a later 3.0 V6 from 2000, probably one of the last ever produced, and it always surprised me- when you start to push it out of the stereotypical driving style associated with hydropneumatic Citroëns (ie start drive more aggressively and assertively), it is actually responsive and fun to drive in this way. Benefits of Hydractive 2? Quite possibly. I love how you have compared it to your 205GTi and not found it wanting, considering the size and class segment the car was produced to compete in. Matches my findings. Always found it very capable on smaller single carriageway UK A roads. I find it bizarre that in the UK the XM does not appear to have reached proper classic status; it is a wonderful and idiosyncratic motor car quite unlike its contemporaries. In use it was more reliable than most of the Mercedes I have owned over the last decade. It deserves proper recognition. Mine is sadly off-road and in need of restoration. But I will love the XM until the day I die.

    I've owned my 1997 S8 for 11 years and it never gets boring. I think this is due to the way it delivers the power. It's only 40 BHP more than the 4.2 A8 but it's a completely different driving experience. The A8 accelerates very smoothly, but the S8 surges forward with such ferocious power and just keeps accelerating. I used to be a mechanic and carry out my own maintenance, but due to back and hip problems I can no longer do it so a friend of mine who owns a garage is now carrying out some work for me. I decided to get as much done as my money would allow. The car is having 4 new springs, 4 new shock absorbers, all new suspension arms, 4 new brake discs, 4 new brake calipers, new brake pads all round, 2 new handbrake cables, a new serpentine belt, new cambelt, new water pump, new thermostat and all new idlers, tensioners and pulleys. I can just about handle the spark plugs, oil, and new filters myself. It's been very costly just buying the parts (I got them from Autodoc in Germany) but the labour for the work isn't costing too much as my friend is fitting it in around other jobs. The car also has a full length Milltek stainless steel exhaust which sounds beautiful without being intrusive. I would thoroughly recommend getting an S8 D2, they look amazing and go like a rocket. Thank you for an excellent video, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I wouldn’t characterize the suspension and handling of a hydropneumatic Citroen as. “Dangerous”. That’s the most wrong headed thing I’ve ever heard. I credit that suspension and brakes with saving my life on two occasions in the DS. I’m in the USA so I’ve never driven an XM. But I have driven CX and GS and owned DS, ID, and SM. Still have an ID19. I assume the XM suspension brakes & steering performs at least as well as those much older models. Outside of that, this video is generally very informative.

    The series 1 with DIRAVI steering is the version I like the best.

      TVRs are incredible cars. I love them from the 80s V6 Capri engine and wedge cars (V6 and V8s) all the way through till their sad end in the 2000s. My all time face is the Cerbera but I would happily own any of these!

    Just bought CLK 320 for 500e. Seller told it engine had stalled and wouldn't start. He took it to local shop for diagnose and it had fault codes for misfiring and 2. O2-sensor. I borrowed coils and maf from my other CLK. Still had same problems. Then i realised tank might be filled with diesel, because it was smoking very heavily on every start and smelled like old diesel, and these problems started right after he filled up the tank. After flushing fuel system with 98, it started, but was running badly and smoking. After idling for a while it was running much better, then the smoke went away and now it runs like new!

    Great video, very accurate data! I own a '92 excel S.E. RHD that was British born and then later imported to Germany. Then imported again by me to the states and one of the very few U.S. based owners. I know of ~10 excels in the country now. Very reliable car, so fun amd always getting looks and comments.

    Love this video! Totaly affirmative with your words, because I'm one of the owner of Lancia Kappa kombi 2.4 jtd and it is awesome car to ride! Mainly because the ride is so calm and the car seats are so comfortable. Thank you.
