coletti - out of interest, have you recently passed your test and/or this is your first car?
If so, a car like that would make a cracking one to start off with. Not only do you get the benefits of cheaper insurance and stuff from a 1.2, but you also get to learn how a car behaves when driven. Even after 14 years of driving, I'm still learning and smaller engined cars are generally a whole lot more forgiving than bigger engined ones.
I started off with a Punto Sporting at circa 85bhp. It was a great, zingy car to begin with and at only 5 weeks old when I bought it, I was clearly very lucky. In many ways, it taught me how to 'handle' the next car I got which was the much more powerful Punto GTT. I'd like to think that I'm a half-decent driver, but without the experience gained from the Sporting, I'm pretty sure I would have made some silly (and perhaps dangerous) mistakes in the GTT.
Sounds like a great and sensible choice there! :approve:
