hey all... just thought I post my lovely punto sporting.......

hope you all like...

If you get a chance mate, some higher res shots of the interior, seats etc would be great.

It does look lovely, I'd have to drive one to be completely convinced though!!!

I like how low it looks as standard, regardless of brand stereotyping, there's no denying its a very good looking car. Should be good for business!!!

thanks man... hope it is good for business! For the first time ever I had two admiring glances on the m/way... ppoeople passing me slowed down to check it out! lol.. that never happened with the furby.. two pics went low res due to upload limits (500k?! lol..) you should drive it, I've been my longest journey in it today (to newcastle to get my duals in) and it was fun... pushed it enough to set the ESP off for the first time... the ultimate level of grip is very high... it's not nose heavy like the fab (but I know your fab was 'sorted' in the suspension area!) very sharp direction change (steering is a bit too light, there should be a 'sport' button like the panda100 not a city button like I've got! and no body roll at all! doesn't feel as fast, but i played with an ibiza (PD130 I hope!) up a hill on a dual carrageway, and our performance was identical! so It seems it's on a par as standard.... I have plans for the angel remap (170bhp) people on the fiat forums have timed them at 0-60 in 7.1 seconds with the angel remap, so should perform as well as it handels then! am gonna do a review in the near future.... if you come to the BBQ you can ave a drive

edit: annoying facts..... seatbelt cuts the neck, three door and the mount is too far back... also bloody indicator noise is too loud and annoying! that's it so far..... only 400 miles tho....

Sounds good so far

yes Chris, the windscreens a cracker! lol... that gets fixed tomorrow morning before I go back to work!

looks good

The new punto's been growing on me alot.

It suffers from the same problem as the fabia vrs tho. they got to the exhaust and lost all imagination. the fabia exhaust looks terrible when u can see the two holes inside it. The one on the fiat doesnt suit it in my opinion. other than that tho it looks good:thumbup:

mmm it looks a little weedy doesn't it? But going on the gains the fabia gets from an aftermarket job, maybe I should look there ?

the angle I like best is from the side... for once a car that doesn't look like it immediately needs lowering! (It could drop 15 mill at the back tho!)

thanks for all the positive comments!

Saw 1 in orange this morning and from the side it looked very nice indeed, have to agree with the exhaust comment though and still need convincing over the look of the dash/ materials . Look forward to your longer term test reports sharky especially if the new Fabia vRS doesn't meet the mark
