My Fiancee has 1.2 Grande punto ashamed to admit it but it's nice to drive, must be common on these tar on side did hers other day and took me a good hour with tar remover to get it all off, still some on boot I missed 
As for corrosion on springs I've replaced hers twice on drivers side once on passenger fronts, also be wary of the heaters been known to cause fires due to the loom burning out, spent about £250+ on her heaters and needs another loom again for it!
How fiat still make cars it's beyond me thought they would learn from previous mistakes but still building cars with loads of faults. They don't even recall them for the issues.......
Any way good luck with it
