"Cheap speed demon"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Passenger electric window slow on closure.

Driver's electric window runner broke.

General comments?

Quick and fairly cheap car for 19 year olds like me. Get saving for the insurance though.

Easily modified.

Insurance...eh! what a joke. I would very much like to own a Punto Gt... but due to the stupidly high insurance rates (in the UK) its not possible for me... so the next choice is a (yes you guessed) Punto sporting 1.6...hum... not so. (for me a 24 year old male) it would cost...£1400...and £4555 for a GT... looks like I will have to stick to my golf

life is so unfair...eh!!!

Looks like iwill be getting a Punto 55s...oooooooooooooh no.

For insurance, the Punto is expensive for a 1.2.

For lower insurance and better performance, try a Micra Sport+ or Lupo/Arosa Sport.

Micra no way, a MG Metro Turbo more like.

As a 19 yr old myself, when I phoned the insurance company I expected a heart attack!

It did not come, I was very surprised and pleased with £525 tpft for a 99 1.2 sporting. this also covers me to drive other cars, track day cover, I can modify it and it covers my stereo, which is a good thing as it is worth almost £5000 its-self!!
