General Trading up?

[fiat_freak]

Currently have an old 1.2 Punto Team
Am seriously thinking of buying a new 1.4 Grande Punto
Anybody made that journey?
What will be the big differences do you think?
Regards

Which 1.4? 8v, 16v or Tjet?

 

[fiat_freak]

Basic 8v

 

[punto_matt]

Build quality is alot better, much more substantial car, feels a bit quicker than a mk2 8v i would change if i wasnt after loads of speed.

Did you have power steering in your mk1? If not, then you'll feel a big difference in the feel of the steering.

That is the key reason I will not get rid of the mk1, I despise power steering. Until I can afford a Lotus, Caterham or Ultima GTR, I'll stick with the old 55s.

Thanks gents
Might trade in the barchetta (it's getting on a bit as am I) and keep both Puntos
