Advantages: Great Looks, Low Tax, Cheap Insurance Disadvantages: Ride Hieght, Slight Roll On Cornering
Having recently handed my little Saxo over to my little sister for her lessons and run around. Its time to look for a new car, So I came accross a really nice "Fiat Punto Active Sport 1.2i 8v". Read below to find my opinion of this car so far.......
Performance~
This car is awesome on petrol, Obviously depending on the way its driven its averagin about 48ish MPG. ALthough not as responsive as the saxo was and requires higher revs in lower gears to do this, Another slight downside is the ride height and suspension set up as the car feels very high, and also as if it is going to roll when taking corners at speed.
Exterior~
The Active Sport variant of the Punto is in one word "sexy", Its got curves, and straight lines in all the right place. Again a slight draw back is the gap between the top of the wheels and the botton ...
I currently have a 2004 Fiat Punto active sport 8v.
Its a nice car to look at and thats about it.
the acceleration is slow, top speed - depending on how heavy you are. about 90-100, but sayin that i did have 105 down a very steep hill on the motorway.
Any way ive had non stop problems with this car ranging from hole in the exhaust to a gearbox ceasure. the fuel ecconomy isnt as good as people say - my old rusty van does more mpg. To get full handling performance drive in very dry conditions not in the wet or you will just slide round corners over 15mph.
all in all i would rather get a clio.
car insurance:

I have had the Ipod touch 2nd Generation 8gb for almost a year now and i have found that it is the best ipod out of all the ipods and mp3 players i have brought. It has excellent sound quality, and can be used with or without head phones. It is very easy to use, with a sleek design and touchscreen. It also has a range of other features, such as it is able to connect to the internet via a wireless connection. This means you are able connect to various social networking sites, facebook, bebo twitter and msn. And you are also able to buy lots of different games (free ones also available). There are also various other features such as calculator, clock, timer and access to google, youtube, bbc iplayer and other websites.
One other thing i found very useful, was the fact that you able to access itunes without having to connect your ipod to ...
