I think i'd get the 106, will be more reliable than the Fiat and cheaper to maintain than the Starlet.

I'm amazed the Punto is trailing behind on the Poll. I really did think that people liked them. Obviously not 
I'm actually going to look* at a tuned up Punto GT tonight tho to see if I like them.
look* = Razz around at high speed

This is the punto i'm going to see tonight
Disgusting colour, but works well with the wheels for some reason 
He's spent a bit of money on it so i'll see how it does...

This is near me too
I think it's quite sexy that 
Hmm....i always always hated Punto's but i'm turning 
A descent Glanza will be hard to obtain, and without wheels they look fairly poo. The interior is definately the most gash of all of my choices by far

Punto GT (1.4 Turbo) if it was me, second choice would be a Saxo VTS! Duno why just prefer them over the 106

Punto GT = slowest out of the 3.
they do like 16's standard. Vibs was tuned up. I remember passing one in my standard gti and thinking 'I thought Punto Gt's were supposed to be quick? as I heard him dump valving in each gear'.
I like the starlet, though it'd have to be tuned up! - the only thing with starlet is people who 'arn't in the know' will think - why are you driving that piece of crap
106 gti standard is ok, but there's so many already tuned 106 gti's you should buy one which is already sorted
there was one not long ago going for some silly money like £1500 - that had (131k on clock  ) loads of tuning stuff like running 145 bhp or more, nice wheels, lowered etc - and still ran well.

Slowest of the 3
VTS is out of the question. Common as dog shit, plus everyone knows GTI's are better
I shoudn't of even asked, now I'm still confused.
Paul, you're right about the "not knowing what it is" thing with the Glanza. I thought if I debadged it and put a private plate on then it'd keep everyone guessing

If a Mini ERA Turbo had a dump valve it doesn't mean its fast!!!

When you say "killer quick" mate, do you mean standard?
Can't be faster than my R5 was, surely

not mine then .....takes me back though
paul is right though about his point on the starlet but i still love them .
id agree with rcb to on the 106 , personnally much rather have a vts but i know a lot of people disagree .
punto gt wise , i know they are prone to engine problems even if cared for , bit wary over these now .

Yes it overtook me. That thing was silly quick / loud It was chasing evo's while spinning the front wheels CONSTANTLY. and the exhaust came out of the front bumper - it sounded so evil
