General thinking about a Tipo

[goodeye]

Hi, at the moment i drive a 99 Sei sporting which i think is a wicked car, its never let me down and its really nice to drive. however i have recently find it to be a bit of a pain doing motorway miles and is very small for lugging my mates and my climbing gear around in. So i was thinking of moving to something a little bigger, Ive been so impressed with my little Sei i want anothr Fiat and like the look of the Tipo (especially the space ship dash).

ive been looking at a few on Ebay and Auto trader and they seem to be pretty cheap with quite low miles on them. Any advice would be cool, do u think going from a Sei to a Tipo is a good idea, are they reliable? whay are they cheap etc and what are they like to live with?

thanks for the help

hi, ive had punto, unos, bravo's and other fiats, i bought my red tipo of ebay 4year ago for £250, with 56'000, and its been the most reliable car, ive ever owned ive used it to go anglesey and it does 40mpg doing 80mph, parts are really cheap, so is insurance, most of them are galvanised, the red one, ive moted it 3times and it flew through only ever needing new tyres. but this year i had to put a started motor on £38 and a new battery £30. and im putting a clutch on the car in a few weeks and clutch cost me £20. so parts are really cheap.

but if you want one with a bit of power then get a 2.0
