Did you actually read the thread?
Work colleague bought a yr old Megane, has had it in and out of the garage more times than enough due to electrics... he wont touch another renault ever again
(I had similar electrical problems with a diesel clio from 2001)
Been to look at a Punto HGT today and fuck me why must people lie, it was a pile of turd. When reading the description they made it sound as though it was new.
Fucking hate this looking for car bullshit, it wears me out
Anyway...cheap and nippy - have you checked out the Suzuki Swift Sport?
Let's just say I was a little bit silly and a big bit unlucky. Played football, had literally two beers, got pulled on the way home, was 6mg over the limit
Lesson learned.
To update this thread seeing as Tom bumped it, I got a Punto HGT and christ they are nippy. Proper old school hot hatch driving and it doesn't look anything more than a normal Punto and its red
Car salesmen drain my will to live...been test driving cars this weekend too in an attempt to get a good deal under the scrappage scheme. Ford must pay top dollar for their press, all this nonsense about best in class and then when you drive them they are complete junk compared to the Toyotas and VWs.

Fuck me the HGT is a wanker compared to the orange Punto, fucking thing is twatting me off already
Variator noisy, steams up inside and won't clear (heater matrix probably), rattling from the back hopefully exhaust and its £384 for a fucking cambelt service.
Cocking thing
Welcome to the world of the fast Fiat.
Welcome to the world of the fast Fiat. There will be trials, there will be tribulations. But when everything's working and you're on the right road (I suggest the one between Sandon and Hilderstone) they entertain in a way not possible in any of their rivals. Actually scratch the right road bit, my Punto makes me grin going to the shops.
ford focus isnt bad tho..
But fuck it, I will grow to love it because it totally feels like an Alfa.
