Who can tell me about driving experiences with these models?
I came from a '98 Punto GT (130hp) and last February I've replaced it by an Abarth Selespeed.
But I found the Abarth to be faster than the Punto only at speeds above 170Km/h or so. Which of course, is less than 1% of my car use. The fuel consuption is also higher than the Punto.
Since the Abarth has more torque than the Punto at relatively low revs (3500rpms), I wonder why I notice that much difference for the Punto.
I know we don't feel any speed with the Stilo, but I also notice that's harder to pull away from the typical Turbo diesel cars. Something that didn't happened with the Punto GT.
I also like to hear about speed and acceleration figures for the manual gearbox abarth, and/or driving experiences compaired with the selespeed or Punto GT.
