What does every one think of these? looked at a few, all been the sporting version with the 17`s and 130 bhp
any one had any experience with them, and anybody know the list price, Fiat.co.uk dont list them

I have one, absolutly love it.
It scares a few subarus at track days as well, also can be easily remapped to 170bhp for £300 without problems.
List price is a bout £13K but you can pick them up for about £10K easily

your fairly local so you can get your parts and that from me (mangoletsi)
also check out our deals www.mangoletsi.com
i drove a 1.3 jtd a while back and it was quite good, dash feels quite big though but quite a nice car i had my eyes on a black one every time i walked past it in the showroom lol
if you can afford it though i would say go for a 1.4 tjet
should be a fun little car

just been looking at one on the net from mangoletsi, you at the one in Knutsford?
Black one £10,999 bit out of my range really
9K is stretching it a bit tbh but im willing to go that far

1.4 t jet is 120bhp
1.9 is 130bhp plus loads more torque and you still get 40ish miles to the gallon
All sporting's have the bluetooth so don't think that one is better than the other.
Mines is a 56 plate just make sure its had the brakes replaced with the moddified pads and the rear discs have had dampners fitted or they will squeal like a bitch
p.s mines a 56 plate and its done 13K miles, its that much fun to drive

been reliable, the Fiat Badge worries me
My next car has to be Derv, they way they pull is immense, I was behind one on the motorway a few months back, when he overtook the car infront he gave it some and the back of it nearly hit the deck it squatted so much
