Re: swap punto60 for 1.2cinq

i wouldn't if it were my choice.

It depends what you use the car for though. Personally i think the punto is a far better looking car and much cosier inside.
I frequently need to load up the car and when i needed to transport stuff, the cinq was no good and i had to use the punto. and my rear-seat passengers didnt like the lack of space in the cinq.

Re: swap punto60 for 1.2cinq

depends on how good a condition the cinq is in. If its immaculate, then ok.

cinqs can look really awesome with well chosen mods (slammed on nice alloys with a subtle bodykit) and who gives a stuff about opinion, cos you can just strip out the interior to be 2 seater, and well set up handling will pish all over anything else on backroads.

If the cinq is in as good as or better nick than your punto, then i would do it

just remember its a non-standard engine....

Re: swap punto60 for 1.2cinq

looks familiar

It really does depend on what you want the car for... if its for the fun of driving go for the cinq, if its practicallity you want, punto.

Re: swap punto60 for 1.2cinq

thats a very nice looking cinq, far better looking IMO than a bog standard 60sx.

are you sure that there is nothing wrong with it? if everything is fine, i would go ahead with the deal

Re: swap punto60 for 1.2cinq

I've had both Punto's and Cinq's and the Punto is far more practical but if it is fun you want then it has to be a Cinq. I have to say that really as I have two of them (but I have other more practical cars too) TBO though Cinq's are getting a bit long in the tooth and finding a good one is not easy make sure you check it for the usual failings
