You lost the battle many moons ago, even before Barry the skip became involved . I'm open for you to prove me wrong .

well there you go then, the fiats better

How - top speed is less as is 0 - 60. Plus the citroen needs less bhp and valves to do it

your comparing a hatchback with an estate :nutter: put that engine in a punto and it would do 0-60 in about 9.5 seconds

Bearing in mind this was brought out in 1995 compared to the citroen in 1992. Still less.

Pot calling kettle black

your marea isnt moving...neither does a skip, therefore your'e car is as quick as one as well

correction, it does move can get about 30mph in 5th before you get problems if your gental!

ahh well skippy the famous chrity skip car with the 1.3 metro engine and mini running gear can do 70mph no probs all day and has been all over the place, so technically that is quicker

 

[The Trooper]

OOh a ZX, my Dad had one for a few years, said it was the best car he's ever had (he owns a Stilo now ). It was an N/A diesel, but because it was so light, it was still decent performance wise. Never had any problems, except for one leaking brake cylinder. They come with 4 wheel steering too, so handling is good. In general, much better than the closely related Pug 306. Go for it!

My 20 year old Fiat Uno works great and I took it out for a Sunday evening thrash a few hours ago

This thread is funny! I vote Barry the Skip as the winner
