As if by magic

Im really enjoying mine.. Plenty of power for a 1.4 turbo 120bhp (suposedly 140bhp)
Drives really well, pulls no problem.. smiles when the turbo comes in..
40mpg is possible too..

comfy ride, handles well, very spacious and comfortable inside..

massive boot.. its bigger than my mums auris boot

id reccomend a test drive in one.. but if you can afford it i would say the abarth would be the one to go for..

Dont get me wrong, i love mine but i can only imagine the abarth being that little bit more fun

Deals aren't really available on those though

Can get a 1.4T Sporting with a few extras for about 9K, which isn't bad really!

The internet prices are silly cheap!

I don't really need or want the T jet, I was thinking maybe just a normal 1.4. But if you put aircon in the GP model they'd end up being the same price!

1.4 16v GP
Doesn't have air con
Wheels are 16" & rather horrible
Car might look a bit crap in white, so at least £250 for some colour
£8480 OTR

Or

1.4T Jet
Aircon
Better wheels (same as yours Kurt?)
Looks OK in white (Are the bumpers different?)
Better interior?
£8970 OTR

the bumpers are the same, sportings are a tad lower and have the darker headlamps, and IMO white ones HAVE to have the black roof

Don't think i'd buy new again. You can pick up some really good cars for around 10k if you have the cash.
