Summary
What does this car say about you?
that i have style and like a fairly fast car!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Mixed really but i think most of the negative "but its a Fiat" comments are jealousy as once they have been in the car they seem to change their minds. The special few who have driven the car can't believe the performance for the insurance group - 6.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would certainly buy another!
What are you likely to buy next?
Abarth version for me! that thing will be rapid!

My 51 reg Punto Sporting was showing its age

Brilliant Perrys of Portsmouth

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Will embarass much larger powerful cars and goes round corners very well. will comfortably accelerate upto its top speed of 121mph. once you get the turbo whining its hard to drive slowly. utterly addictive !
What's it like to park?
Rear vision is a bit limited but the city button makes the steering super light!
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all
What's most practical about your car?
Its performance compared to its running costs and insurance etc. Its comfortable and has a decent sized boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The Blue&Me system is great! i have my Ipod in the glovebox so don't have to have millions of CD cases littering the car! also means i don't have to have rubbish hands free holders drilled into the dash. My phone just stays in my pocket and my car "finds" it and lets me make calls and read text messages through the dash display. awesome!
