Yes 1.9 Multijet 130 CV

Just out of curiosity, was yours a factory order? If so, you seem to have got it very quickly.

I'm trying to talk the wife into changing her Punto for the new Grande Sporting and was just wondering what the delivery from the factory would be.

 

[LanciaMad]

Looks like a foriegn plate, this in the UK?

 

[Suasexed]

What material have they used for the dashboard strip? It looks like brushed metal...can you take any interior photos?

 

[faster4_tec]

UK doesn't get the 130sporting till summer. ANd when it does it will have a nicer quality plastic dash trim, wheras lower models have recyled dodgy coloured plastic in there.

Foreign models and the petrol sporting may get a brushed alu strips.


Nice car mate

The 130 Sporting is available in the UK now. There's rumour of a 1.4 turbo petrol Sporting due this summer with an Abarth next year, but the 1.9 Mjet Sporting is definitely available now.

 

[Suasexed]

Yeah the 1.9 Sporting is available now. I just wondered as the brochure photo's show some sort of brushed metal meterial - and if it is - that'd look ace!

 

[Bob in disguise]

was gonna say the 130bhp mjtd sporting is for sale in the UK, because i've bought one lol

 

[Bob in disguise]

Heres the sportings interior with the orange seats...it has got a brushed metal affect on the dash

 

[Donald]

I live near Turin. I've been waiting for it for 2 month.
I'll post some picture of the seats tomorrow

 

[Jazzist]

That interior looks very nice, a damn site better than my mk2 elx!



But.. the cigar lighter looks like it is in a silly place, cables running around the gear stick to power sat nav (PDAs / TomTom GOs)?.. Hmmm...

 

[AppleSei]

I quite like the orange, i didnt think i would!

Must...resist...urge...to....buy.......

 

[faster4_tec]

that interior is gorgous, they have even got metal doorhandles rather than the natty plastic jobs.


I know the MJTD is out for sale now, but I mean't the petrol variant is out in summer and by then it may come with more kit!

and then compare with

I smell something very, very brown...

I doubt that a petrol Sporting would get anything different from the current specs. Don't forget that Fiat have undercut every rival on price and yet have offered more standard kit. I suppose that the Abarth version may have a few extra bells and whistles when it arrives next year but the Sporting is well kitted out anyway and the options are very keenly priced, eg leather for £500.

Its quite a nice improvement from the earlier punto models. Looks much better built and nicer to live with. Still not quite convinced to give up my Fabia VRS.
