Yet another "What Car" thread

[silverzx]

To be honest I never intended to have a Punto Grande but it came up cheap so thought I'd have a go, definitely an improvement over my old 306 HDi.

Looks more modern, spacious feeling inside, big boot, nice styling, drives well, pleny of grunt, returns fairly good MPG, lowering springs, remaps etc all available fairly cheap.

Oil filter was fairly easy, wheel bearing was a piece of cake (come pre-pressed and just bolts on) so yeah, so far impressed with the layout of everything. Turbo's at the front to which is nice.

Downsides are high tax (190 a year), honestly can't think of another.

It seems well made, comfortable to drive for an hour to work in, anyway, enough said, go test drive one if you can, they're good value for money if you can look past the badge. The engines are also highly regarded (Ruan can confirm this).

Couple of pictures (of mine):
