If I HAD to choose, the Abarth.
The Clio and Corsa aren't different enough

Going from an M3, none of the above, if that's what you're thinking.

Abarth, due to the fact they are so funking cool, quick and rare. Just make sure you don't add V6 brakes and ruin the handling

Corsa VXR for me. Sound sexy as hell with an exhaust and will easily be quicker than the other two for alot less money needing to be spent

The abarth has a significantly better dash than the rest of the puntos but that's only because its covered in leather.
I thought I could have a punto until I went to fiat to look at them.
Corsa or Clio for me.
Clio looks the best but it would have to be about a billion times better than a 172 for me to choose it over the corsa.

Out of the 3 I think I'd choose the Clio, mainly because I've been in my mates 172 Cup so I'm kind of familiar with them.
I do like the Abarth but I think it over priced and not as quick as the other two.
Quite like the VXR but I'd go with the Clio.

M3 may be going as ive spent so much on it and i just cant be arsed with the bills. Its not getting any younger or more valuable and since its just had an isnp 2 and a near on full respray then its an ideal time to think about getting rid.
Whilst the Clio may not be an M3, i LOVE driving Mrs Jambo's one, its so nippy and revvy and quick and thats just the 1.4 version.
I dont care if its not an M3 as its something to downsize to. Im also fed up with old cars so want something new with warrenty.
Clio i reckon is the best bet. The corsa i am not keen on the A-pillars inside and the windscreen seems to be 6feet from the dash. Odd position.
Abarths are just  as fuck.
Nothing deffo yet, just toying weit hthe idea......

Out of those I'd have the Clio tho personally. Looks best and doesn't seem as childish as the others.
At some point down the line I can guarantee you wish you had the M3 back tho.

What about an Astra VXR any reason why it has to be a small hatch?

Do you know how much of a nerd you'd look in that Fiat? Abarth or not, it's a bitch car.

I'd say Clio even though they have ruined the front end of them with the latest facelift
