Hi everyone,
I'm a bit of a newbie here, and I have a couple of Q's. I am a heavily indebted student for whom it has become necessary to buy a cheap car. I have a budget of under a grand (cheaper the better), so i'm looking at J,K,L regish Polos AX's and fiestas, which really have no soul. So a fiat is my choice (punto or Cinq sporting), and I have a few Q's:
1) can i get a nice punto for around bout 500-700 quid? I know I can get a cinq sporting for that.
2) is the cinq's smallness ever a problem?
3)equally on the cinq; the power issue, is it a problem? this car will have to regularly go from manchester to london, cruising at 70-80ish
4) the punto 55 - has the same engine as the cinq sporting right? and is there much difference in performance between the two?
5) reliablity - i'm poor, and don't have much money to spend on bits falling off and breaking-any issues with either?
6) is the 60 with a 1.2 so much better than a 55?, is it thirstier etc?
Cheers very much,
