With your car, what was the defining moment when you thought 'i really want to have one of those'?
With my first (Punto 1.2 60s in Team Blue) it was sitting at a bus stop outside the co-op on my way home from Uni in about 1995.
A punto drove past and turned a corner and with the views of my parents in my head ('Those puntos look horrible..like a wedge of cheese') i knew i had to have one. I loved the shape of it. very daring styling for a supermini in 95 (this was the days of the old corsa, micra and fiesta...yuck)
That said i had my heart set on a broom yellow Cinq Sporting....till i drove one and repeatedly hit the accelerator while attempting to brake...why are the peddles so close???
and seeing as my daughter was 6 months old at the time we needed a more practical family car.
For my latest (Punto Active Sport) i'd loved the new shape punto from the moment i saw it (in 3 door anyway) and when i saw the Active Sport (hi spec, low insurance...good combo for me) was available in Yellow and with £500 off at the time...that was it. of course, FIAT being FIAT i had to wait at least 2 months before they could be bothered to build one.
But now i have it was worth the wait.
