All of it.

Only thing that doesn't work is the rear blind, I can hear the motor still so I assume something is caught. But I can't see myself ever using it so I cba fiddling with it.

What happened to the ds3/company car/a3 or one series?

Belloni · 24 Mar 2011 at 11:11

Ds3 is too new really, too expensive.

Still thinking about a company car, my MD isn't in currently so can't discuss prices. 1 series and a3, are quite high to insure currently so may put that on hold for now.

Fiat Punto Bravo looks nice! Looking into that now, cheers mate!

Is the 1.4 engine pretty good? Reading on the fiat grande it's not that responsive?

I really wish I'd test driven an 8v 1.4 because I can't see how it can be any less responsive than the 16v

You have to drive our 16v 1.4 like an Itallian, no revs = no go

Maybe the 8v has a bit more lower down the rev range.

The above info is useless if it isn't the same engine in the Bravo though

There are three 1.4 engines,

90bhp
120bhp (turbocharged)
150bhp (turbocharged)

Avoid the 90bhp, 120bhp might be quick enough for you. I went for the 150bhp and got it remapped to 180bhp.

The 90bhp is the same one from the Grande Punto so it's underpowered, the other two are fine.

It's a Fiat Bravo btw, not Punto Bravo!

Belloni · 24 Mar 2011 at 11:44

haha ok

How much is remapping a car? I spose it's dependant on the increase.

Peerzy · 24 Mar 2011 at 11:47

£380 got me a proper remap on a RR with an induction kit by a company/guy who's known to be the best on Fiat's.

Belloni · 24 Mar 2011 at 11:49

Think i'll leave the remapping then! I take it the Fiat Punto Grande Punto has 5 gears not 6 for the 1.4?

Peerzy · 24 Mar 2011 at 12:21

The 1.4 90bhp has 6 gears, the 1.4 120bhp has 5 gears as does the rest of the range.

^This is for Fiat Grande Punto, all Bravo's have 6 gears I believe apart from the early 1.9 diesels which have 5 (if I remember correctly).

second hand prius

If you only care about the gadgets then a Nissan Note is the car to consider

Belloni · 24 Mar 2011 at 12:33

That is a horrible car!

TheVoice · 24 Mar 2011 at 12:50

I can't help but think you're going about this the wrong way. Choose a car based on its merits as an actual car, not on whether the manufacturer has slapped a bottom-end satnav into the dashboard.

Belloni · 24 Mar 2011 at 12:53

I meant gadgets didn't just mean a sat nav it came out wrong

I'll look more into the grande punto no worries!

adam cool dude · 24 Mar 2011 at 18:33

Nissan Primera SVE. Would recommend the 2.2 Diesel over the 2.0 petrol. Built in Sat Nav, Reverse Camera etc.

Some relatively old luxo-barge will be filled to the brim with all kinds of gadgetry.

The running costs will also butt**** you financially, but hey, gadgets are cool.
