Grande Punto My New Car...

Introduction

Well after having loads of trouble with my Stilo, I've decided to cut my losses & get somting a different... Still a Fiat...

I originally went from a 52 plate Seicento SX - to a 05 Plate 1.2 Punto - to a 55 Plate Stilo 1.9 Sporting.

So here's my new little baby.

What do you all think? James
Not to bothered about performance, more interested in saving money to be honest. I wasnt using the diesel to its full potential. Its the 1.2, but very nippy. will have to learn to drive again tho, after going from a 1.9 to a 1.2

yep, that sure is true.

im enjoying the 500 + miles potential in the stilo (y)
 
i did like the stilo but in about 7 months of owning it, it must have been back to garage 8 times for various things. I just lost faith. And the offered me quite a good deal on this one. my insurance has been cut in 2 & i'll be getting more miles to th gallon so it was silly not too

more mpg :confused:.

i used to get about 40 to the gallon from the micra and that was a 80bhp 1.2, the stilo does me about 45-50mpg which is very decent.

what im spending in insurance (about 15 quid extra month), im almost saving in fuel (y)

i know what you mean when you say the stilo is unreliable lol. in the 6 months ive had mine its been back 4 times to the dealers. but when its working its a brill car :p

good to see your sticking with fiat and hope the punto goes well for you (y)
 
Yeah its works out better for me, because i mainly use it for short journeys on 30/40 mile an hour roads i was only gettin 38 max, but when i've had grande puntos a few days at a time i'm gettin 42/43 so its slightly better. Plus petrol is cheaper than diesel. Also my insurance has come down from £440 to £220. Crazy

insurance is crazy.

im paying 120 quid a month to insure the stilo, which i find quite cheap when they wanted more then that to insure me on a new shape 1.4 corsa club :cool:

and my car is a lot faster :D
 
yeah its good to be on your own policy, got mates that are still on their parents inurance. I'm 22 now! Had my own inurance the whole time & now with 5 years no claims its cheap & chips.

thats what im looking forward to.

at least in 2 years or so my insurance will hopefully be low enough so i can pay it in one go as opposed to monthly :rolleyes:
