If you look at the detailed report, what made it rate so bad, was that it doesn't have all of those electronic nannys on it and it's not good for people with children in kids seats. So, as long as you don't have any kids (or they are grown up) and you hate all of those nannys that are on cars today, the Fiat Punto is the car for you.

Here's what you need to look at. It's the quadracycle category.

I remember reading an article on this one. Apparently the vehicle was not equipped with some specific system that was required. According to the test rules, that meant they had to assign it a zero rating, regardless how it performed on the remainder of the tests. If they had been allowed to assign it a rating based on its performance on the other tests, it would have gotten two stars, I believe. Still not good, but better than zero.
