Fiat Punto reliability
I'm considering a 2007 Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 Dynamic (Petrol) with 30,000 miles on the clock for my first car, due to its fairly good looks, low insurance group and low price (£4,500). However Fiats have a reputation for being unreliable- is this reputation deserved or should I avoid the Grande Punto altogether?

My almost 4 year old FIATn 500 has been 100%. Of course, it's a Polish FIAT.
