Hi, it's a 1.4 Multiair Turbo! Nippy little thing!
 
Thanks! I have had it nearly 6 months and I can't say I've seen another one on the road whilst driving it, they are quite rare compared to the Fiesta and Corsa equivalents aha!
 
Same as mine but mines the grey/ while one. Propa stunnin little cars I love mine t bits n must say av beat ma friends in there 2ltr fiesta STs. They have some power behind them. How long u had yours? I'm from sheffield were bouts u from?
 
I see, yeah i like the stripe! Where did you get it done? And apart from that they look identical haha! Yeah they are pretty quick, it rinses the fiesta zetec s and the corsa limited edition models, i love beating them, did try to take on a clio RS though... big mistake! Haha. I see, I'm from norfolk so quite a distance then unfortunately. I am planning to do some modifications to it at some point, have already installed an armrest, some wind deflectors and a snazzy new aerial, about as minor as it gets but bigger mods should follow!

I copied design from abarth punto evo n got a local sign fitter t put it on sayin punto insted of abarth n really love it makes it tht bit more different. Yea quite a way then lol. I've put a smaller arial which looks better lol. Not sure wot eles am gona do though. Urs would look good wi red break callipers too. I thought tht came as standard on sporting. N like u said best thing is ya hardly see any lol think av seen 2 since I got it. Don't supose u were at olivers mount bike race in scarbough last September in urs? I saw one same lol jw if it wa u. Lol
 
Nice! Looks very good! Mine has the red callipers too, probs just dirty in the photos aha, some don't have them though. Oh no that definitely weren't me aha, must have been someone else with good taste! ;) Think I'm gunna get some lowering springs first of all as the only thing about the car that I don't like is that rather large wheel gap aha, think it would look so much nicer just a tad lower! Are you planning to keep yours for long?

I see! Sounds nice! I thought about an abarth gp before I bought mine but would have been over 2 grand to insure it so I bought the evo sporting! Don't regret it one bit though!

Me too but insurance on super sport was like hahaha no way! But now av got mi 3 year no claims it's come down loads. But yea sporting a r good on insurance t say how quick they are. So good for people such as me 20 but want a decent little car. Plus road tax is so much cheaper than most! Win win ?
 
Yeah that's true! Probs as its a 1.4, and yeah the road tax surprised me too, only 100 quid aha! I'll get my third years no claims this year so will be interesting to see how much it drops as I'm gunna turn my sporting into an abarth killer haha ;)

Wow thats well good! Mine was 1300 for my second year and 1000 for my third, not a very big drop compared to yours but I suppose that is because I am a man aha, yeah it is unfair lol. Havent looked into what it will be this year but I hope it drops more as I'll be 20 too and have 3 years no claims, well hopefully anyway! Yeah I have a few plans this year I just wanna lower it and treat myself to a remap maybe nothing too much for my insurance and then I'm thinking it will probs be best to upgrade the brakes before anything else but that'll be quite expensive so I may just save up then hit it hard when i renew my insurance as then mods should be less, wont have any warranty's to worry about and stuff aha, but yeah wanna get it looking sexy for the summer though so I'll definitely be lowering it first, then powder coat my alloys a dark grey with mirrors and moustache to match maybe aha, who knows lol!

Shall do! And it's up to you, personal preference. I think they look hardcore but don't have enough power to back it up, even the SS is slower than the Clio RS, Corsa VXR, and Fiesta ST. If I was you, I think I'd hang onto the sporting for a bit as theres not a massive amount of difference between the two, a remap could potentially bring you up to the same bhp as a standard Abarth Evo anyway. If you want an upgrade, save your pennies and wait for a new one however long that will take aha. That's my opinion anyway!

Yeaa good point lol. They do need t being out an abarth that's somert daft like 300bhp I rekon. I've also been fancying Audi A5 convertable they do that in a 2ltr Turbo n can get one of them low miles a couple of year old for same money as abarth SS
