    Actually it handles ok IMO, And mate that will beat any standard uno straight up. They are much lighter and with it being stripped, even more lighter.

    There are 2 main problem with this car though, it torque steers like a biatch. Second is its way too small in side, if were mine it would only have the one seat

    I think to be fair it'd look ok in black or any colour slightly more masculine. Mind you i'd never take any aesthetic opinion from anyone who owns a jap car - it's like asking your Grandad for fashion advice.

    Performance comparisons are a joke and it doesn't take the big man to say my car is faster than yours and normally in an adenoidal voice! No matter how big you THINK you are, someone out there has something faster and better FACT.

    As far as I know the Seicento's are about another 50Kgs lighter than an Uno (espec. when stripped) and unlike an Uno the Seicento won't be iron filiings by the end of the year.

    People who comment on handling haven't driven a well sorted one, let alone owned one. That is not to say with the extra weight of the UT engine this one would handle well, it would need substantial work, starting with larger wheels to get the power down more effectively.

    I dont think it looks good, i would get rid of the pipe work and intercooler. More of a sleeper look tbh and i would change the colour to black

    NCAP is the european safety ratings....the seicento scored one of the worst results ever.

    Simply put the cars crumple zone starts at the bonnet and ends at the rear clusters

    I have to agree with Superdan....the cinq was much better looking. . .and driving.

    i'll give u the definitive answer on this in any situation apart front a 30 mph rolling start to 100mph race any decent jap awd car will anhilate a punto, cinq turbo, starlet gtt, r5 turbo etc with easy they handle better they go round corners at silly speeds with out even feeling scary, they are comfortable, reliable, if u was to race one from the lights u would see why awd jap cars end up with mega 0-60 times
    a std evo will turn 1/4's in about 13.5 ish at 107 mph
    my punto which has cost nearly as much to build will do 13.9 at 101 possibley a bit better if i wasnt such a tard

    i own both a probably just under 1 tonne punto with 240 odd hp
    and a near std evo
    i love both but were i to make a choice between them should i have to get rid of 1 it would be the punto every time
