I have recently bought a Punto HGT and I love it so much.
It a fun car that handles well and is underestimated when it comes to boy racers in silly Escorts or Vectra's with too much kit on them that they wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding then my car is far above them.
This car is nippy and as I have owned a lot of cars including a BMW, Mercedes and a Porsche 944 I know fun when I feel it.
For all the idiots out there who say the 944 isn't a REAL Porsche then read what it is I think you may be mistaken by the 924!
The Punto HGT is lovely looking, a pleasure to drive and fun when you put your toe down, not to mention it pulls well in fifth!
I would reccomend this car to anyone. Its great!!!
So.
Liking the Vectra comment, I'm currently running a Vectra GSi and I would happily like to show your HGT its backside.
I have owned 2 HGT Puntos. 0.60 8secs tops.
As for the bloke who owns the Vecy, why bother racing a car like the HGT; you know the outcome of that, I would not bother.
I now own an Astra CDTi 210ps. Race one of these and it will hand your Vecy its backside LOL.
