131bhp from a 1.4 is very proper Italian street racer!

Don't like it apart from the colour, would rather have a Lupo GTI over it.

I looked at them when I bought the corsa. They're all pretty high mileage. Lovely car's though!

seems abit low on power for a 1.4 s/c
the punto gt (which the arbarth 500 will share) is 135bhp standard. if its anything like the current 1.4 tubby then 180 will be managble with lowish cost.

Oi I always liked the 500, saw this earlier looks awesome. Could never afford one though.

Seen a few of these on the road. Look good in pictures, hate them in real life.
Would rather a Twingo.

Engine sounds cool, but the looks are very bland. Dont do it for me at all.
