Hi,

Thanks for the pic ! Not my favorite color but stylish ;)

Nice wheels. Yes Fiat engines are good, even my 1.4 8V is not as underpowered as it can appear (but it is not a beast, of course)
 
Very nice colour I like the black mirrors, make it look the part
Mrs likes it, she wanted an Orange one about 5 years ago. We just came across this when looking to replace her 53 reg 1.2 8v Active last month (youngest son has that now).

Its growing on me!

Different to drive than the older Punto.

Few more photos attached.

We drove an 8v 1.4 Easy/Brio when looking. I actually thought it felt a bit sharper off the mark from standstill, probably as the 8v produces its torque slightly lower down than the 16v. Very robust well proven engines, the Multiair is anyway the same bottom end as the 8v.

Ours will spend a lot of time running around town rather than distance so ultimate bhp and speed are not really an issue.

You get good value from the Punto's in my view as they aren't carrying the 'fashion' premiums that 500's do.

More car for your money.
 
Yes that's true very good for the money suppose I just need to get used to it as it's something a bit different than driving the Megan but yes happy motoring lovely car in orange
