Punto (Mk2/2b) Punto HGT

[19alexmatth]

im now the proud owner of a punto hgt this is now my 3rd fiat.. the first being a 55s and the 2nd a MK2 sporting.. very pleased with it so far, fuel consumption is alitle bit more noticable then i first thought, is this common?

anyway here are some piccys.

i think the only thing im going to have done is lowering.. how much would you reccomend, without it looking stupid?

im going to make a donation asap, just paying off insurance premium and my excess from my flooded car. ;-)

HGTs are known fuel drinkers, a lot more so than the 1.8 stilo which is the same engine

anyway, nice car! i wanted a HGT but they wouldnt insure me

have fun with it!

Lowering: if you have a bit of money, buy some adjustable coilovers
im still waiting on mine....

Yes they drink, but what do you expect with what basically is a 1.8 TS engine out of an Alfa romeo with a different head?. Is your variator ok?.

nice car man.,
A friend of mine has the same car, is it really that bad on fuel?

Yes I'd say they are for what they are, I used to get similar economy in my Alfa 156 2.0TS and an extra 30bhp.

nice1.. yea im thinking of lowering.. still paying the car off thow and the insurance was abit high.. im 20 this year going into my 3 years no claims

how old are you if they wouldnt insure you.. if you dont mind me asking.

like that second photo man., and the jap reg plate.,

is it legal to have your front number plate like that?

and is your back one standard size?

18 mate

but i had had a 2.0 omega (before my sporting), which wasnt slow... and definately wasnt as safe as a punto...

on my own insurance, with 1 years ncb, as well...

i did some research and it would cost £2k to insure me with 1years ncb on a HGT.... same engine in a stilo however would cost the same as my punto...:shakehead:
never mind, year 2 of ncb coming up soon (hopefully)

norwich union said they wouldnt be able to insure me on a HGT till i was 25

one of the things that made me buy the stilo, is that it was cheaper to insure then a new shape corsa life 1.4

over 100 lb-ft more torque, nearly 30bhp more, and a few more toys , how does that work

Dirty inbred chav's drive them and stack them into trees trying to look 'hard' thats why. And the fact that the average scutter doesn't even know what a Stilo is. They will Probably think its a form of sex toy to use on there underage 15yr old scabby pregnant chavette slag.

God im a in a cynical mood tonight LOL. :devil::slayer:

i wasnt dont worry

it was a crap car anyway, had loads of rattles (1 year old, 9k on clock ), front fog light got a stone chip after 2 weeks of ownership

stereo was rubbish as well

it didnt last long, my micra was much better, and my stilo even better :yum:
