I WANT OPINIONS FOR BUY A FIAT

Hello to everybody.
I am from Greece and i want to buy a new FIAT. I ask you all about your opinions.
With the money i have i want to buy either a Punto 95 Dynamic 5-door or a Stilo 80 Active 3or5-door.
I'm interesting of the space in my car and for the power of engine.
I like Punto because of the engine and Stilo of the design and the space that has.
I want opinions about the 1.2 engine of Stilo.

Thank's a lot for the answers and excuse me for my English.

LOVE ITALIAN CARS

I used 5 month punto with this engine ( 1,2 16v ) and was almost good. For common driving is good because of hard chassis. But with my drive style was 8,9 liter per 100 km. It is quite a lot no ? And this engine in the Stilo ? I dont now i think is not good solution. Maybe for common driving yes.

I want Stilo for common driving only.
I'm interesting for the space that have and if i can travel with 4 people (for example).
Here in Greece we don't have good roads so i can't go very fast but i want to travel with some bagages.
The Punto has the power but i need the space.
After all and some others cars has weak engine (at least in Greece), like Focus and Golf with 1.4 75Hp and weight over 1.200Kg and they have over 3.000 euros than Stilo (with less extras).
Did you or anyone else know if Fiat change the 1.2 80Hp engine with 1.4 95Hp ? (at least in Greece market?).

I believe sales of the 1.2 16v Stilo are being stopped in all markets.. this is why they have had so many deals on this model recently.

Steven has donated! 
That is the rumour. The 1.2 Stilo is underpowered. The Punto is surprisingly roomy and can seat 4 adults. The boot in the 5 door Punto is also acceptable.

If you can go for a 3 door Stilo you should. However, what others say about the 1.2 is true. It is really really REALLY weedy. If you can go for the 1.6 you will be much better off.

If you can't go for the 1.6 Stilo, then a Punto is a sound choice too. Fiats have the style other makes (VW & Ford & anything Japanese) don't have.

By nearly new from a dealer for the best value and you won't be disappointed.

If u need more space and don't need so much power go for Stilo then... I use 1.8 Stilo for a while and the car is great! Only thing I miss with mine is TURBO! But I'm the one that's looking for more power! And u can't buy Abrath Stilo in Sweden [:(!] [V]
