OK so those whove driven both how do they compare under handling/acceleration/speed/economy/reliability/refinement.
I'll start the ball rolling....
I reckon as they are almost mechanically identical that the more aero shape of the Sei cancels out the Cinqs weight advantage at all bar sub 30mph speed) .Sei is far more refined inside-door "thud" of Sei a world away from Cinqs "tinny" slam.Its interior is more hard wearing (especially seats -do all Cinq seats wear at the sides?)
Cinq has far more "classic" status and timeless shape though and is that bit 'rawer' in a good way(modern heavy wide cars are so dull)
Both are a blast to "drive like you wanna kill/break them-probably not that hard-is there anything that doesnt give trouble in a Cento?!)
899cc Cinq not as much slower as you might think than 1108cc in real world driving although roll bar helps and FIRE engine a lot more reassuring to bang off rev limiter!!!
Whats the 1108cc Sei non sporting like compared to Sporting.Does it have rollbar or just longer/slower gear box?
