I was just wondering if any owners of grande punto abarths could tell me what they are like to drive on an everyday basis. Fuel ride quality and acceleration and overtaking. Considering getting rid of my panda 100hp so any advice would be appreciated.

Got an AGP with the esseesse kit and i believe eibach springs. The ride is pretty harsh as i also have the leather sablet seats so no spring in them like the swade.
Overtaking never gets boring but i always find myself at 100mph to quick !
In terms of fuel i run it 120-150 miles a week and im spending about 40 quid with a mix of city and dual carrage way driving.
The only other thing you need to watch for are gearboxes and cost of insurance depending on your age.
I wouldnt swap it for anything and you dont buy an Abarth for mpg !

Good luck, I've been searching for months for an Esseesse !:devil:
It's ok I'm not going to buy one for a few more months yet. I also work at a car dealership and our used car buyer said he would be able to find me one when I'm ready
Just seen a black abarth esseesse on auto trader if that's what your looking for. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201501100069816?atmobcid=soc4
