I'm getting old???

[steve119]

I'm currently think about trading in the tangerine for a 5 door diesel due to the extra miles I'm now doing!!

Still a gp sporting and its yellow???

Any thoughts?

Keep it 3 doors? and keep it tangerine?

When I was looking at new cars I kept coming back to a white 1.9 jtd sporting! it looked so nice!

If I could find a tangerine 3 dr diesel then I would gladly go for it but my fuel bills are taking it's toll! The plus's are 130 bhp and cruise control for the same amount per month as I'm paying just now as well as the two tone alloys! Mmmmmm! minus is that I love the colour of my car and the one I'm looking at is a 5 dr!!

you need a 3 door!!!!!!

Do I need 3 doors though?? I do have friends so 5 doors would be a lot more handy!!

yep you aregetting old, but if that means getting a car that can save money and effort, then go for it

3 doors looks so much better ! Unless your car is constantly having more than 2 people in it .. but then if that is the case i wouldn't get a G punto. (something much more comfier, if passengers, friends are high on your criteria list)

But I like the gp ming, the fuel bills are really getting a bit silly and I actually agree with stuarty! The criteria is that it's a fiat grande sporting, diesel, and has 130 bhp compared to 95bhp I have now! The colour and door number comes second! It still looks nice with 5 doors so quite prepared to overlook that one!

How about a bravo mate ? Then it might open more doors.

 

[steve119]

More expensive to buy tbh!! This may fall flat on it's face anyway due to them wanting two utility bills, and my driving licence is still registered at old address!! Doh!!

 

[imported_abyss113]

bravos a lot cheaper than you think

if that makes you old, im guessing my plans make me positivley gereatric.

 

[steve119]

Just took the diesel out for a good test drive!! Second gear is real fun.......

 

[imported_abyss113]

its fith gear in mine for me just goes on forever and quickly

 

[steve119]

Yeah was too busy trying out the cruise control to push it that hard on the a90! Lol easily pleased me!

 

[muppet42]

There's always the remap potential as well with them :wink:

I prefer the styling of the 3dr, but if it's 5 doors you need then nowt wrong with that, I'm sure Tony would agree with that :laugh:

Guessing the new Multi-Air engined Punto's aren't on the cards due to budgetary requirements? Just have heard they're comparable with diesels on economy and in terms of torque they're pretty decent as well. Still not a massive fan of the Evo really, but the Abarth at Hopetoun looked rather decent in black :smile:

 

[steve119]

yeah i bet it did!! but an abarth aint gonna be much used to me for miles per gallon!! lol

had to send off for my licence to get the car due to losing the paper bit, but after that gets here then should be sorted!!!

 

[steve119]

An update, I'm defo getting this car but not until next week due to getting some warranty work done, not sure what but that's the excuse they are using so hopefully picking it up Monday evening!!
