Yeah i drive these in work ...the essesse one at 160bhp goes well.

They handle ok ..bit like a rollerskate if im honest.

I drive them nearly every day and say the same...that they need more booost!! :laugh:

now the punto abarth ..is in a different league :D

Good wee cars but for 13-14k i can think of some other things id buy ;)

EDIT!! - the starting issue ..is due to people starting the car up..ragging em from cold ..and turning them off straight away (when cold) ...resulting in flooding and they refuse to start...means new plugs ..happens all the time in my work :laugh:
