DILEMMA!

[elchinko]

Ok, I've just been given a house (OMG!!) and obviously this is more important than cars, (!) so i might not be able to afford my punto anymore. Thing is i cant find anything that makes me smile as much so for now i'm gona continue with my order... however what do you think of this pretty beast? It's got a cd changer and Renaultsport accessory pack...

Nah, stick with your original choice!

Only 1; St Erth Fiat, and they're used stock is about as attractive as a grandad in drag!

If i bought the clio i'd have 60 quid extra a month for silly things like food and the gas bill. I know it's a boring run of the mill clio but AAARGH! Oh how i HATE being a growed up!

No get another fiat, don't pay the gas bill sit in the car with heater on to keep warm
Rent a room in your house in the summer to get more dosh

That colour isn't very nice might make it harder to sell when you wan't to ged rid.

Ok I did something rash and bought the Clio! The clincher was the fact they gave me £1100 for my Cinq as a trade in, so i'm only gonna be paying £120 a month for the car, instead of the £165 for the Punto. It's actually quite a nice car, it has a 10 cd changer (6x40w), electric windows and mirrors, sunroof, remote locking (punto didn't have!), steering wheel stereo controls (punto didn't) and 16v's (punto didn't have those either!). It's also got a Renaultsport accesory pack with chrome door sills and gearstick etc. I'm dissapointed i couldn't find another Fiat, but in 5 days i'll have a brand new 3 storey 5 bedroomed house all to myself!

I feel like such an outcast now! Anyone want to buy a one off Fiat Keyring lol?! I'm gonna miss this place! (And Grey and Yellow are my favourite car colours dave!)

Nah, only joking, your comments will be missed, but as Shwarzzie says, you'll be back, FIAT runs in the blood![}]

It don't look grey to me looks browny purple, does it look better in real life.
16v more valves means more trouble, ive got 16v 1.6 hyundia and 8v 1.2 punto and the punto is more nippy than the hyundia.
I still think you should have rented some of them rooms out and got the punto

I'd forgive anyone buying a Japanese car, maybe even a German or God help us, Swedish, but FRENCH????

As we've just kicked them out of the Rugby World Cup, I'll forgive ya but only this once

Hehe thanks guys I shall stay of course and throw in my Tuppence worth every now and then And maybe next year i'll return with a nice Punto Sporting or something :I

It's definately grey, the colour does look crap in that picture actually. I will admit that it doesn't feel as quick to pick up as the Cinq, I suppose this is because it reaches peak torque at 3500rpm compared to the Cinq's 2500. However it's a sweet free-revving engine that goes like billio when u floor it and manages 49mpg

Good luck with the Clio, nice colour I thought. Understated cool.

Arf! Me 'art will always be with Fiat me muckers

Luckily I've had no French birds coming up and calling me 'Papa' yet. Nor any dodgy french footballers asking me 'what is vavavoom'?! To be honest if he did i'd show him a pic of a Punto HGT!

Life ends on Sunday... and the affair with the Marigolds begins...
