The FIAT GRANDE PUNTO (2006-10) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 8V 77 ACTIVE is a small petrol supermini, competing with the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Renault Clio. Its three-door shape looks youthful; the 1.4-litre engine suits town journeys, commuting and occasional longer trips. Rear-seat access is less convenient than in five-door alternatives.
