Fiat is known for its small-sized vehicles, like the iconic Fiat 500 and the Fiat Panda, famously one of ex-Top Gear presenter James May's favourite cars. Take a look at our list of top ten cars like the Fiat 500 here.
However, the brand has also branched out from its small-car origins, and in 2023, a Fiat E-Scudo all-electric van set a world record for the longest distance travelled by a van on a single charge, covering just over 311 miles.
Despite the earliest Fiat 500 being released all the way back in 1957, the latest iterations are still making waves, winning 'Best Small Car' at the 2022 Autocar Awards, with its electric counterpart, the 500e, winning 'Best Electric Small Car' at the 2023 WhatCar? Electric Car Awards.

The
Punto Evo debuted in 2009, building on the success of the original
Fiat Punto with innovative features like MultiAir
engine technology, which increases power and torque while reducing emissions. Top speeds vary between different engine configurations, reaching between 110 and 120 mph with a 0-60 time of eight to 12 seconds. In automotive publications, the
Punto Evo has earned praise for being superb fun to drive and competitively priced. A few
common problems have been noted, including
electric steering faults and
ECU issues.
The exhaust system is essential in guiding fumes away from the engine and passengers. It consists of a manifold, flex pipe, catalytic converter and an oxygen or lambda sensor. Unsurprisingly, the biggest problem with car exhausts is that they sometimes develop a leak.
Common warning signs your car's exhaust needs repairing or replacing include: popping sounds, leaking water, rust, unusual smoke, and sounding louder than usual. Anything out of the ordinary may signal a problem, and an exhaust specialist will be able to tell you exactly how to fix it.
It's important to take your car to an exhaust centre as soon as you notice the first signs of trouble; occasionally, exhaust leaks can be dangerous.
Depending on the extent of the leak, a mechanic may be able to carry out an exhaust repair by welding the affected area. If this isn't possible, you'll have to arrange an exhaust replacement.
