Thanks, but I need small engine not ultra small car. Love my cinq, but my sister takes my elderly mother shopping and would never get her in and out of a cinq or seic. Have looked at classifieds tho, perhaps an Uno or Tipo.
'As if by magic!!'. Nice car - i'll let her know.
nice little punto
are you on commission 'Custard Boy'?
I ain't on commision but Dave's a top bloke and his Punto is exceptionally clean and mechanically sound so t'is a bargain.

Indeed. My dealings with Dave are minimal but my feelings are exactly the same..
I've got a Seicento, and although I haven't been in that many cars I always find the Seicento very easy to get into. Push the front seats fully back, and you've got a very spacious 2 seater car! My mum sometimes pulls her seat forward a bit because she feels too far back lol. It always seems better to get into than many 5 door cars.
If a Sei/Cinq is no good then a Punto will probably do the job. The 1.2 engines are economical, and the 1.2 16V should be plenty fast enough too.

seats are a bit low for elderly ladys to get out of in a cento though,The Ugly Duckling said:

just sold my old cinq, was quite nicely modded aswel, hope ur sis enjoys her cinq!
Thanks. Love the idea of my 83 year old mum roller skating at the back of the cinq, I'd best buy her a crash helmet and knee pads. If she can't get in and out of the cinq cos of arthritis I have a Spacewagon as well, so no prob.
