Description

Looking for a hatchback? This 2001 Fiat Punto HGT is a compact Italian hot hatch with some personality. This imported 1.7L petrol model has been through three NZ owners and needs some attention, but still offers a fun driving experience.

The Punto HGT was the sporty version in the range, with its bigger 1.7L engine giving it more grunt than standard models. It's easy to drive around town and simple to park thanks to its small size.

Some things need fixing up, but it's a straightforward car to work on. These Puntos are known to be fun to drive with good handling despite their small size.

Features:

1.7L petrol engine
Compact hatchback design
Manual
Imported vehicle
Sunroof

If you're after a project car with Italian flair, or just need a cheap to run car that's easy to park, this could be worth a look. Feel free to get in touch with any questions.

Have you got maintenance records and in particular when the cambelt was done etc. Is there a current service sticker on the windscreen that you can show? Has the lack of idle been checked out? Does it throw third gear under acceleration? Price sounds ok initially but if the cambelt also needs doing there is $2,000 plus worth of work that needs doing now by the sound of it. dominic41 (799) • 10:21 am, Tue, 9 Dec

No I don’t have maintenance records. I have had the car 1 year. I personally changed the cambelt and water pump (I am a mechanic). No it doesn’t pop out of gear. My scanner didn’t work on car very well to check out what is going on. It stalls sometimes just before it is at full temperature. Oil change is due. agentmj (13) • Tuesday, 9 December 2025

Shame … gearbox is a big item … strip down and your probably because it’s apart should get an overhaul … I owned the same model / colour but this is going to need some decent $ spent . Super fun card Abarth kit and colour is the best barge36 (376) • 4:40 pm, Tue, 9 Dec

Thanks for responding and other comments are all helpful. You may like to consider a $1.00 reserve and lets us who are interested have a go, you never know you might get pretty close to your asking price. dominic41 (799) • 11:53 am, Wed, 10 Dec

great cars, we've had two of them, both responded positively to the old clean the connections under the passenger seat for the air bag code, might be something ticked off the tag list. warp (325) • 6:12 pm, Wed, 10 Dec
