A Punto I Tell You A Punto

[Mr Drew]

Im going to look at a punto on saturday as my second fun car
a nice R reg punto in yellow 90 ELX 1.6 convertable with power roof oh my lookin forward to going to see it and maybe drive it home Fingers crossed

 

[dave]

better off holding out for a 1.2 16v IMO unless its very cheep

 

[wozza]

Why a 1.2? if your after a fun car. wouldnt the extra 20bhp make the 1.6 more fun to be in....or am i just being silly here and thinking logically?

 

[beau]

the 1.6 8 valve has 88bhp, and the 1.2 16 valve has 86bhp, but becuase its lighter it gives an advantage of 3 bhp so it is just faster, and its more fun to drive and a more modern engine.

 

[Babysei]

Cant wait to see it outside my flat Drew

 

[wozza]

does the punto not get the 1.6 16v 100bhp engine?
