I have owned a 1.6 8v sporting mk1, a 16v 1.2 mk1 sporting and a mk2 1.2 16v sporting, now got a 2002 206 hdi d turbo with 17" 180 gti wheels and to be honest not that impressed with it, and now seen 2 cars(listed above) at very good prices.
What mpg do you get from the 1.4 ? and multijet diesel ?
Would like the hgt as its got all the toys with it but is it worth spending the extra £1k ???
Anything to be weiry off ???
Any help will be great.

Cheers Phil
I personally would buy the HGT as i was told by someone that if you never buy the top spec, you will always wish you had! And this is so so true! Variators can be a problem on the HGT's and cause a huge expense, so go for a low mileage one if you can. Center console silver part sometimes has cracks in, sat nav can be a bit tempormental too. Do all the basic checks of any car and try to get one that has been loved. Check the MK2 punto forum too! Welcome to the site
