Re: Which car?

If you want people to vote for something other than a Fiat, go and put the poll up on a forum that's not for Fiat owners

I put it here because there are some members who realise there are other car manufacturers out there that make quality cars.

The Punto mk2 does tick some of the boxes but it doesnt tick all of them. I dont like the interior and I think the car as a whole is looking dated. I am not ruling them out but obviously I want to consider other options.

Re: Which car?

Re: Which car?

Looks old fasioned to me. And the interior is very dated imo.

its very insulting to say people havent read the post though, just because they didnt put a post as well dont mean they didnt read it, thread has had loads of views compared to votes
Its not insulting. I know that because they voted and didnt post doesnt mean they read it. Im just saying I bet alot didnt and just assumed im asking what car they like the most, which obviously, being on a fiat forum, the punto would come out top.

Why does everything I post on here get turned around to make it look like im insulting people?

Re: Which car?

You have no idea what answer I came on here looking for. If I wasnt considering a JTD then I wouldnt have put it in the post.

Re: Which car?

I voted for the VW Bora. Build quality is supposed to be pretty good on them but I'd go for a TDI aswell if possible.

Im very reluctantly thinking of swapping my Astra for the Bora's replacement- the Jetta...

Re: Which car?

Isn't that civic 1.4 slow as a snail? 15secs or so? I may be wrong? Its VTEC or nothing

Anyway, I voted Fabia.

Never liked the mk2 punto styling or handling. Mk1 or PG are great though!

Bora is fugly


Lupo....just get an Arosa for less ££ ( but please, the 1.4.....the 1.0 is lifeless!!!)
