    Grande Punto Sporting

    anyone seen the new specs for the petrol sporting? i'm disappointed to say the least.

    And for those who only begin to enjoy themselves at 100 bhp, the Grande Punto Sporting offers a choice between the 120 bhp or 130 bhp 1.9 MultiJet, both of which come with 6-speed gearboxes and variable geometry turbine with Intercooler. Topping the petrol range is the nippy 1.4 16v unit which produces 95bhp.
    95bhp petrol

    how crap is that, the diesel is 120/130bhp, has bags of torque and does 50mpg!

    yeah, you're right, but when you consider the diesel engine is far far better, whats the point of releasing the petrol version?

    95bhp is the same as the mk2b sporting and they are slow but its still not bad for a 1.4

    I assume it's the same 1.4 from the old sporting?

    I think that sold quite well so I guess why would they change it, and it's a fantastic car for the younger driver, or someone wanting something cheap.

    Lets just hope there's a big jump to the GT version!
