With the rear wiper coming on when in reverse, I had this feature on my 2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta but it had a fault whereby when you take the car out of reverse the wiper would carry on and stop in a random position on the back window. Very annoying! Also on my Alfa I had that mount (obviously with it being part of the Fiat Group) but no satnav! I just used it as a cradle for my phone although when I upgraded to a bigger phone it wouldn’t fit anymore
drove my punto for ages now and I LITERALLY only found that out about the back wiper and reverse last night, honestly though my car was just doin shit on its own 🤣
That wiper feature was on my 01 scenic along with a locking petrol cap door, activated by the central locking which explains why people snap the little petrol cap doors off.
Renault are even worse than fiat for poor quality electric internals the only good thing about them was the rust protection. Any member of the rac or aa will know only too well about the oh so reliable renaults 😂🤣
Re the tailgate, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s had a rear ender, apparently Fiat used “what was available”. I have the same company car as yours from new, no accidents and it has the same rear badge. A friend with the same car has the new rear logo... go figure...
My panda has the same thing with the rear wiper, and it also goes faster or slower depending on the speed of the front wipers when it's on whilst going foward I also have a similar exhaust setup, though that's down to having a custom stainless xD the Longlife silencer box was too long to fit in the normal place at the back, so they nestled it in the [unused] 4wd propshaft channel down the centre, decluttering the back nicely!
Couldn't you anoid anymore manufacturers 🤠 great needs nothing really just its own character self all cars have quirks good and bad enjoy for what they are
great video as always ...just one thing, its not a Punto Evo as Fiat changed it back to just Punto when they facelifted the EVO, so the rear bumper is very similar to the Grande, without the gash plastic inserts of the EVO.
Punto mk2 was really good car... Grande Punto is not so good... Corsa D chassis - 4x100 wheels...different gearbox , but quite nice design :) But when you compares reliability... Punto mk2 was better than Grande :)
I've got the evil Model 2011 1.4 petrol I believe it's 77 HP I absolutely hate it underpowered need a small turbo just to get it going on the 30 roads and motorway in make a lot of road noise just avoided if you can. And also I forgot it burns oil and I don't even drive it fast I change gears when the computer tells me to change it.
I have a 2012 multijet diesel. I absolutely hate it. Especially the seats. They are so uncomfortable. Having lots of reliability issues with it aswell. This was my last fiat i can tell you that. Has done 142.000kms now. Gearbox and clutch are both gone soon. Intercooler was rusted trough last summer and all the doorseals have bin replaced because it was leaking. Because of the leaking my tailgate started to rust and my rear window opening systems rotted away aswell. Had all the glowplugs and injectors replaced 1 year ago and 1 of the injectors is going bad again. Biggest mistake of my life. But good luck with yours man i hope you are more lucky with your punto!
Joe, that title is literally click bait! The needless capitalisation of eye catching words is clickbait! Although your contents good and you're a good guy I'll let you off I suppose
I should've called it "here are some things about my Fiat Punto TwinAir that I didn't know when I bought it but now I do through daily use and my viewers commenting and today I'm going to talk about them"
when buying a car ya should get a Haynes manuel and learn all the tricks yer car can do :) PS whats happening with yer bike? must be cold and lonely :(((
Hahhaha you did no reserch there is not ONE punto any that the badge lifts up its a push button in newer to open boot i had a few 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and them wheels are HORRID swap back to the sexy ones lol 😂😂❤ fab vid tho 😊

Same here I even disconnected the rear wiper lol
The auto music volume thing in both my 2012 Volvo C30 and my 2016 Mercedes W213 E Class work well enough that I don't notice it at all lol.

Mum's got an '03 Scenic, interestingly 🤔 she must have that too!
@@MillerCorner The best model scenic was the 99-03 model. Real keys and handbrake and proper dashboard. Most comfortable car I ever had.
AMEN! Scenic fan club incoming 😉

Little correction. In 2012 the punto evo was changed back to just 'punto' the bumpers were similar to the evo just without the black plastic inserts.
Speed volume usually is adjustable in 5 gradients from slight increase per x mph to high increase per x mph

FCA do love a parts bin 😂
In around 2013, the Grande Punto rear bumper and tailgate returned. Very strange
Great videos and great channel, I love my Fiat Grande Punto great review.

News flash! You saud it's not a corsa. It shares alot of the parts with a corsa and a mito.
Still haven't revealed what name you've chosen for it. Suggested by someone really cool I heard..
Looks more like toast on that mystery button 🤣
I can't unsee that now!
@@MillerCorner wednesleydale gromit!

Tidy looking motor there Joe.. Can't wait to see the super seicento back on the chanel though

As I've later found out 😅 cheers though, dude 😁
Maaaaaate were punto bros now 😁
Yes brudda! 😎👊🏻
@@MillerCorner Give us a follow on Insta, loui3hd 👌🏻
0:09 wait a moment... Is that the old fiat badge :O
Front Punto and rear Grande Punto??
Different logos on the front and back
Reverse rear wiper is nothing new in italian cars, I had a 1990 Alfa 33 which did the same. The 147 too.
Dude is funny keep going and invest in your equipment
as a VW mechanic I am offended
First also that radio is so scratched 😬
And this is why gloss black trim sucks 😬
Miller Corner yep my Chrysler ypsilon don’t have any deep scratches like yours but it dose have light scratch’s from someone cleaning it
It is just Corsa with Fiat engines :D
Reminds me of when people used to say that Lord of the Rings was a Star Wars rip off.
Yes, It's a Corsa D chassis.
That doesn't mean what KubikCv thinks it does.

Some and some, unfortunately :/ I'm not gonna hold my breath just yet, but hopefully all's well 🤞🏻
💯💯💯
Slaying other car brand when fiat are known for the ecu trying where they get so hot 😂 I do love fiat though
Never heard that myself 🤔 plenty of TwinAir over 100k, not many EcoBoost 😉
A lot around here Aha, I do however agree with you on the Ford subject sh*** 😂

It's still getting PLENTY of love, particularly as the weather improves 😎
Not on my fiat Punto it does it's a 2005

Welcome to the 21st century
Not sure I like it...
Are you actually suggesting fiats are more reliable than fords 🤦♂️ keep learning 👍
Il uNfixAble lI tried ford, literally was broken everywhere. My fiat is perfect! So yeah i’d suggest the same for sure!
