How does a Lupo GTi compare to a Sei Sporting? I expect it to be thirstier and higher insurance and generally quicker but hows the general handling, comfort etc? Anyone know?

Good car, in a different league to the sei, much more refined and the 1.4 is a little rocket, also hold their value
But are dear to buy especially for a good straight standard example
Quick look good. Dead reliable. Besides being the same size near enough it's a polar opposite. Anyway I thought lupo gti's are 1.6

Seat arosa is the same underneath and cheaper for the same spec,worth a look!
1.4 16v sport, and the 1.6 16v GTI.
Nice cars, but my friend has spent quite a bit on his just keeping it running. New gearbox, replacement pedal box (apparently a silent recall), starter motor, drink oil quicker just as quickas the fiat 1.4 16v engines, and apparently it is slowly developing a fault with the sensors.
Maybe just a dud he bought but i've got to be honest, they are nice cars despite going by some of his history.
EDIT: Forgot to mention they get a bit tappy on the top end, doesn't matter what you do it always comes back. One of those things you just have to live with

The general expense is the main thing putting me off tbh, at least Fiats are cheap to run and cheap to fix when they go wrong.
I think I'll just follow ming's advice and 1242 the Sei instead
@foggy89 - I did look at the Arosa when I wanted the 1.4tdi but my mileage doesn't warrant a diesel, and SEAT never did a GTi equivalent.
