General Test drove a Cinq today
I wasnt suggesting the 55s as an alternative.......but there is a broom yellow 1242 sporting on auto trader near me...for £850.....dont mind me im just bitter cos i wanted a cinq as a first car and ended up with an uno 45!....
usually plenty of sportings on ebay, but a bit of travelling may be required.
Ask as many questions as you can think of, and make sure the description is adequate as IMO sellers get off easy by putting minimal details about the car they are selling and then its hard to get anywhere with ebay or the seller if you need to make a complaint cos the car you bought wasnt as described.

I am always very cautious when buying a car. Viewing the Cinq in post 1 was a bit of a spur of the moment thing. I would've interrogated the seller over the phone but his english was appaling and the advert was oh-so-tempting.
Pretty much as soon as we saw the car it was a no-goer! I may look into 16v Punto Sportings a bit more though, I completely overlooked 'em.

Try the seicento MPI.
Drop a CAM in one, Fit a decent silencer and you wont want to stop driving.

Two problems: I prefer Cinq styling over the Sei, would prefer unassisted steering, and Seis are more expensive. Ideally don't want to spend over £1000.
Buy a cheap chinq with crap engine. Then drop an MPI in it with a 75 cam.
Mmmm...Even I'm tempted now!

Cheap Cinqs with crap engines generally have crap bodywork by default.
I wanted a Uno 45S and got a Uno 45S!
And I wanted a Cinq Soleil and I got a Cinq Soleil! Only problem is I wanted a Cinq Soleil Sporting, and they don't 'officially' exist. However, if I can find a damaged Sporting with good mechanics then I feel a conversion coming on :devil:
