You gotta love the Grande Punto for the way that it looks. To our eyes, no other small car is this neat 'n' sweet, from its mini-Ferrari nose to its plump, pattable rump. Mind you, calling this Fiat 'small' is relative. As the 'Grande' name suggests, it is actually big for a supermini.

That means it has enough space to sit four grown-ups in good comfort, and five at a squeeze. It is easy enough for all to enter/exit, thanks to its big, wide-opening doors and easy-slide seats. On the move it rides smoothly. Like other Puntos, it has a 'City' button on the dash which, when pressed, makes the steering very light at town speeds.

Fiat's long been good at making small-ish cars and this Punto confirms that it's what the company does best.
