My Abarth Punto Evo

[stutheo]

Hey Guys and Girls!

Im Stu, Based in staffordshire and this is my Abarth Punto Evo!

2011 Car, owned for just over 6 months. So much fun, Pretty rare when a 458 out numbers it 5 to 1!



Seen taking the bottom corner at Bruntingthorpe at Vmax EvoMax last month!


(Hope ive posted this in the right place!!)

I love it to bits, I went from a 1.2 Grande punto to this. Build quality is a Hell of a lot better, Its comfy on Long Journeys and being a chunkier guy, the seats are alot more welcoming than that of a VXR/ST. Suspension is pretty perfect, Handles really well when you want to be a bit enthusiastic, Yet still comfy and nowhere near as harsh as the Abarth 500 on a daily commute.

On a decent motorway run i get around 45/50MPG, Everyday out of sport mode gets 30-35MPG. 165BHP is also enough to surprise a few when they come alongside and dont fully know what it is! Standard engine sounds nice too, Nice turbo flutter from the airbox!

My engine was stone cold sadly, otherwise I'd have given it the beans down the back straight.

Cheers, Not sure at the minute. Little bit more power would be nice eventually but is sufficient at the minute. Also, lower it a little bit nut not silly as i feel it sits too high but i dont want to ruin the current feel of the car, so probably wont!
