any views?
quite fancy one cos:
1. they are fairly new and cheap
2. 1.8 16v, not the quickest around but more than enough for wat i want.
3. not too expensive on insurance
4. look good as they are
5. got all the toys, sat nav, aircon etc...

I'm a GT owner so they are slow. persoanlly I'd get a corsa 1.8sri but if it's second hand they do make a sensible buy if they have warenty left

i would love an a3 but im not prepared too spend 6k on a 1997 model with over 100k.
im sure the new puntos cant be that bad, essecially a low mileage one.

I would have an old BMW or Audi Coupe over a Punto any day of the week!

Up to you tho.....you pay your money you make your choice

I can't complain about the Bravo, so the Punto should be even better

i was right up the bum of an 03 Punto HGT for miles on a country lane, the afternoon before FCS.

They are absolute shite round bends, and he hardly gained ground from me 40mph+ on the straights! Racing ended when the geeza understeered into a kerb. Knowing Fiats, that was probably a right off

yeah true.....deffo handle better than a corsa whatever happens.

This had some 5" jap zaust on it, and it rumbled like a petrol. Also no black smoke, so i'm confident it was the petrol!
