beware of punto's rotten chassis! I like the punto GT but i know that most of them have a lot of corrosion by now. If this punto doesnt then yeah it sounds coooooooooool!

Mine was running a healthy 180bhp and the only 2 problems I ever had were a slight oil leak where a pipe wasn't on tight enough and a split cv boot

My mate has one running roughly the same power. Already hes had to fit a new turbo and the one on it was an uprated unit. I believe they like to blow head gaskets.
