I do much prefer the styling on the 5dr mk2, but having never owned a 3dr, I don't know if I could live with the lack of practicality, hence why I wanted a 5dr Grande Punto, lol!

Fair enough. I don't think I could live with the inconvenience of having a 3dr, lol!

Problem though my actual mileage is like 112k and on these they're showing 68k ops
I wouldn't know how you'd go about rectifying that I'm afraid.

Depends what you want really. I have the 1.9M-Jet Sporting and it is cheap as chips on insurance for me (first time driver) as policy holder. £107 p/m £1241 p/a unfortunatley with a box. But it wasn't ludicrously more for one without. I think £1468. Petrol T-Jet for me came up around the same price. Plus it's rapid, so much torque (easy to spin up the wheels in 2nd.) Loads of overtaking grunt. And it's economical. I am returning 39mpg with mixed driving. Drive like a mad man and you get 20-25mpg. Drive sensibly and it'll do 55mpg. Tax is fairly expensive at £180 a year, but other than that, Plus I've read on hear people who have the 1.9M-Jets take their's to Red-Dot in Watford for remaps and a mid-range map will give you around 180bhp and 305ft lbs of torque.

Can I ask how old you are by any chance my insurance is barely over a grand right now, I'm still not sure on witch the best option is a sporting or an abarth, I've heard quite a lot about red dot
