Just how rubbish were your other cars?
My brother used to own a MK2.5 punto and it was utterly terrible, I nearly killed myself in the wet on a roundabout doing less than 15 mph.

It just didn't do bends, to the point that it felt incredibly unpredictable, regardless of the bend (not just the roundabout). I wholly expected to not have to come to a complete halt just to negotiate a roundabout.And this was caused purely because you were driving a Mk 2.5 Punto?.
I've never had such an issue with any other vehicle, ever, and I owned a P reg Corsa as my first car!

Odd, I had you down as a better driver.
That just sounds more like you were driving it like a knob really, thousands of regular motorists manage to not almost kill themselves at sub 15mph speeds in these cars daily.

OcUK race drivers have arrived!
I was just expecting better of it, that's all.
Well the fourtrak in the background and a 92 or something Fiesta.Just how rubbish were your other cars?

I can assure you that the Punto is a better car regardless of if people on here don't like it.

I wouldn't doubt that he's lying. Any faster than 15 mph on a wet roundabout in my punto and you're starting to head in a straight line regardless of where the steering wheel is - I blame the tyres (165/70/14).
I just had an op. You just made me laugh and therefore cause me considerate pain.
THANKS!

Ah, right. It's just that we owned a Mk 2 Punto from new for about 9 years as a second car / runaround for the wife and I'm pretty sure I managed to negotiate a few roundabouts during that period of time at varying speeds up to, including and over 15mph without suddenly managing to lose control of it.
