just to nit pick, and generally be annoying... Fiat state 0-60 of 8.9 secs for the T-Jet, not 8.6.

its ok saying the 0-60 times on each version but there are veriables.
for instance you have weather conditions to consider. the gradient of the tarmac it was tested on (was it compleatly flat/uphill/downhill). ive seen somewhere on here that the bhp and tourqe figures arnt what fiat have said they are atleast on the petrol engines so there is another veriable. then you also have to think, did the test driver that got that time change gears at the right time too. 0-60 times have to be taken with a pinch of salt if you ask me. fair enough they wont be that far out.
Also the mjet handels really well considering there is one hell of a lump at the front. i drive at a rather rapid pace on a and b roads and i havnt felt any understear when going alittle faster than i should around a bend.

your point being??
we all understand these variables and how they affect the standard 0-60 times of cars.
but thanks anyway

Your right. They probably did an Mjet on a downhill slope with an amazing driver and a Tjet on an uphill slope with a crap driver

but in answer to the question...grande is a big improvement in quality from the old Punto's
