I like my T-Jet - if I wanted fuel economy I would have bought a hairdryer on wheels. And I love the raw sound of the T-Jet engine, but if I wanted to sound like a knackered taxi I would have bought...
...oh yeah, an M-Jet :devil:
[time to duck]
To reiterate your own fate dutchess you have indeed bought a 'hairdryer on wheels' without knowing it seems! The 1.4 T-Jet is laboured, noisy and struggles to shift convincingly. The 'Sporting' tag is a bit of a misnomer I'm afraid.
Those that can't accept, after driving both versions, that the MJet is quicker, quieter, more flexible through the gears and more economical than a T-Jet are either in denial because they made the wrong choice, an agnostic Fiat representative or just plain stupid.
I've tried my best to find an immediate comparison with these two videos for educational purposes....
Silky, smooth Mjet (remapped but sounds the same standard)
Futile 0-60 in thrashy, power challenged 1.4 TJet
I really hope the Abarths power delivery is more convincing and sweeter this

Lol, makes your life easier if you can track us all down.
I think the vote would be a good idea because im fairly sure there are more M-Jet owners than there are T-Jet owners,

Wouldn't that be because the T-jet has only been available since Sept 07????:doh: Theres gonna be more M-jet drivers out there... obviously!
To be honest i dont care which car is better..im enjoying my T-jet... and im not afraid to say so..

Rich knows there will be less because of when the T-jet was released, thats why he said it
I can see this thread going on for a very long time, if you drive far buy an m-jet, if you don't then buy a T-jet.
Simple.
If you want a better all round car, buy an mjet.
Customer: I'd like to look at a Grande Punto 1.4 T-Jet please.
Salesman: Yes sir certainly. Please walk this way we have one over here.
Customer: Some say it has a cracking little engine.....is that true?
Salesman: Yes indeed sir....but it comes with a 3 year warranty!

What a load of crap. You say that you have driven both versions, well if you have then you would have noticed that the T-Jey is increasingly quieter than the M-Jet unless you are partially def. I myself have driven both and the M-Jet is loud not only whilst pulling off but also at a steady 70. Its a diesel for gods sake, they always have been alot more noisy than a petrol. If your saying that the 1.4 T-Jet doesn't really deserve the sporting tag then tell me why the punto mk1 sporting had a 1.4 turbo engine. You can't class a car being a hairdryer on the basis of its engine capacity. T-Jet owners are not in denial, its just that M-Jet drivers are pissed that they are not the only sporting model available now. :devil:

Time is a great healer....you'll get over your mistake I'm sure
Oh....forgot to mention that the MJet holds it's value better too and it's tuning options are far superior. Sorry!

Not upset at another "Sporting" in the GP range, as far as some are concerned the TJet is like a glorified 1.2 or 1.4 with Red Dot badges added with GPS wheels, if it makes you feel good, do it.
I just feel, from experience, that the MJet delivers where the TJet doesnt, so I got an MJet and luuuuurvit!! :slayer:

I wonder if that could possibly be down to the fact that the engine has only been available for 5 months, lets see what performance mods are available in 2 years time which is how old the M-Jet is now.

Guys I am new and don't want to upset any one but I must say this
Audi won le mans in a diesel last year
And I am not bias but do have an Mjet was gonna try the Tjet but thought if I wanted a high performance petrol car I would have gone for something either german or italian with 6 + cylinders
However I am sure the Tjet is fun ........ probably

A diesel car will by default hold it's price better than a petrol. It's a buyers market and will be for a very long time. I guess I was referring to remaping....they will have to be some serious mods I would imagine. Lets see, will be interesting
There will be more performance mods available for the T-jet, as it needs more
There is plenty for the M-jet if you pull your fingers out and sort it yourself, and the gains are generally bigger than a petrol turbo.
The Mjet isn't that loud, on startup yes, it's very loud. But i've been in other diesels the same age which are alot louder.

Theres already serious engine mods going on with the T-jet in europe. I have to agree the tjet is only quieter at idle under full chat its a lot louder but in a good way :devil: :slayer:.
This thread's lame, Don't think it will ever end. Just pointless dong swinging. At the end of the day its 2 different brilliant engines in the best car Fiat make whats the f***ing problem?
