Right, I know this is turning into a saga but I am just about decided that it is a good idea to get rid of the 1.4 Grande Punto for the 1.9 Sporting version.

Will only cost me an extra £35 per month on car payments
Better fuel economy
Insurance only £20 a year more
More BHP
More on-board gadgets
Higher Residuals

I really like the Punto at the moment but dropped from 1.6 16v MG ZS to the 1.4 8v and not liking the change in power, wanting something faster and better handling.

I have had problems with the current Punto, but this has ben resolved with the dealership and they gave me free stuff for my inconvience and are offeing me £600 more than list price for trading in the old punt to take the sting out of the negative equity.

I am also currenlty on a 10K miles a year deal which I am already way over (5K miles in 4 months) cause I love driving so much and I havnet done the annual tour fo scotland yet, so even if I kept the car I would still have a penalty to pay at the end of the term.

Just needing to see what you opinions are....Should I do it, Yes or No


P.S Yea I am thinking about getting the orange one!!

Aircon is standard on all models right?

B&M is available on any model and is an optional extra on the Sporting like on the rest of the range.

Aircon was standard on my Dynamic, thought it was standard on the rest, never mind B&M is cool, though it's got a long way to go I think as it's quite hard to use sometimes.

Dynamic is the highes trime level on the Punto, thats why you got aircon as standard.
