Fiat Punto Evo Sporting first drive
The UK’s largest selling new car sector is superminis or B-fragment hatchbacks.
Their sales were up by 17 per cent last month and the vend is awash with choice and with lots of too good to absent oneself from purchase offers.
The segment leader is the Ford Fiesta, followed by the Vauxhall Corsa, the Volkswagen Polo and the MINI but there are many others ranging from the upmarket Audi A1 to the budget-buy Perodua Myvi. Holding the halfway point ground is Fiat’s Punto Evo with three and five door body styles and a broad range of petrol and diesel engine options accessible at a wide range of prices from £10,400 to £15,700 for the mainstream versions and up to almost £20,000 for the top trendy Abarth Esseesse model.
The Punto became the Punto Evo in 2010 and as its name suggests was an formation of the previous long serving Punto hatchbacks.
I have objective revisited the Punto range as it’s one of those that is easy to young woman unless you live close to a Fiat dealer and see them on the forecourt for tag sale as they never appear in the UK’s top ten sales chart.
