I think ill be selling my corsa soon hopfully.Ill have about £500-800 to spend.My mate has a punto elx and i think its alright tbo.I can be pretty sure anything i get will have more bhp than my 1.28v 44bhp beast
I need to keep within group 3-4, car has to be alright looking...i.e not a banger, would like a nice spacious interior, with c/l, ellecy windows, and sunroof...P/A would be nice but not essential.Im thinking about keeping my tsw razors aswell and putting them on the next car....not sure if the'll suit a punto

what you guys think? what could i get?

A corsa is little but still spacious inside. More so than a cinquecento anyway

Punto 1.2 16vsporting
saxo 1.1 (reasonably nippy for a 1.1)

Not really spacious inside though.
Your wheels will be the wrong offset for both though.

Offset wouldnt be the problem with spacers, its the fact that the bolt holes wouldnt match up that'd bugger it up .

Cheap-ish, low insurance and will be quicker than your mates punto.

Nova SR (insurance higher than group 4 though)
