The FIAT PUNTO (1999-03) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 16V ELX is a small five-door hatchback for affordable everyday motoring. In the UK it belongs to the city-car and supermini market, offering easy parking with useful access to the rear seats. Its ELX trim gives this Punto a more appealing, well-equipped feel than a basic runabout. With its 1.2-litre petrol engine, it suits town errands, commuting and new drivers who value a simple, manageable car; the five doors also help small households. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, the Punto is known for friendly styling and an easy-going, uncomplicated driving experience, rather than premium polish. Mycarcheck.com recorded 24 checks across 21 distinct VINs, a modest sample. Those cars averaged 83,000 miles, around 6,000 annually, and 3.6 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £100, a data snapshot, not a recommended price rather than a current asking price.
