I am now driving a Green 5 dr punto 55 S (completely standard) with 40k on the clock, after the cinq issue(see here) and would like to share my views on the experience so far. (1 day )
The things that I have noticed so far have been mainly the driving experience. The punto is alot smoother than my cinq was. Over bumps the difference is incredible. Going through width restrictions will take a bit to get used to, because I am used to flying through them without having to think about it. I love that I now blend in and how quiet the punto is! I could only carry 2 mates in my cinqy, so I am pleased that this one does a much better job in that area.
Although the punto is a small car, compared to the cinq it's gigantic Not just space wise, I feel like I am a fair bit higher off the ground as well (cinq was lowered 35mm, but had bigger wheels so was about standard hieght)
The drawbacks of the punto so far have been the wind up style windows and the lack of central locking. Also although the punt isn't that much slower, it's not as nippy as my cinq. Also no bleep-bleep that I had with the cinq
The insurance was a straight swap (no extra cost).
So all in all, it has been an alright experience switching to this car.

That’s all I can think of right now, I'll let you know of any other things I notice.
