• Punto with CVT 27 May 2002 (Forum)
  To quote HJ (Daily Telegraph, May 25th.) "The automatic is a CVT, but readers have had problems with this..." My own has covered 16,000 miles without problems. What is the experience of others? If there is likely to be trouble with the box, at what mileage should I get rid of the car?

She had to pass through some narrow gates so she stopped the car, put it in neutral and pull the handbrake on and got out of the car to fold back the wing mirrors to pass through the gateway. As she was getting back into the car, with her right foot still on the ground, the car pulled away and went through the gateway trapping her ankle between the door and the cill, badly cutting and scraping it.
