Glory White Active Sport

Hi

After owning fiats all my life most recent being a stilo abarth 2 years ago i then moved over to renault and bought a megane r26 (very fast) and now am returning to fiat because i want a cheaper car to run (and we are expecting a baby) so ive opted for a glory white (is this a rare colour as its not listed on the website) 1.4 active sport and i only paid 8400 brand new for it (is that any good) i know the spec isnt has good as the t jet sport range but on the outside they look identical

Final question is how is the 90bhp engine (is it nippy) i know i will feel a massive change in power going from 230bhp to 90bhp but i will save thousands over the two years im expecting to keep it.


Any reviews would be great


thanks

Mark

0-60 in 12.3 seconds

Which is approx double the 0-60 time you are used to? Insurance group 4.

Are you sure you couldnt manage a Tjet or Mjet?

Re: Glory White Active Sport

i will miss the megane but family coming and £8400 brand new for that much car is a steal. you have to agree that, i got 12k for the megane so walked away with new car and 3.5k in pocket.

I used to have a stilo xbox 1.6 and that was 0-60 in 11.3 secs and it felt nippy.

As for the colour its the first active sport ive seen in glory white.

Re: Glory White Active Sport

you might be saving money compare to your renault, still not sure whatever you be happy mate.
if you get 12k for your renault (is it private sell?) how about a 1.6eco: http://www.fiatsupasaver.com/ItemDetail.aspx?mID=348
it is just over 11k and you be saving even more than the 1.4 petrol and a lot quicker!! (still not comparable to your renault.)
