Bought the 1.2 active 3 door on 06 plate 9k on the clock. Had it about 6 weeks now and been back to dealers for knocking suspension fault, fixed under warranty (roll bar drop links). Ive done about 1300 miles so far and its a nice car to drive. The 1.2 engine is a bit underpowered but averages around 50 mpg on a good run so i cant complain. I love the styling especially the front with its Maserati looks. Plenty of room inside, you can easily get 3 people in the back and the boot is surprisingly roomy for a small car. Good quality cd player, 5 star ncap, remote boot release, infact theres a nice selection of standard equipment fitted. For the money i think its a good car and im happy with mine

Thumbs up for the Fiat Grande Punto there from owner Marty. But the suspension fault is ominous, seeing as the last one suffered in that area too. Seems Fiat can't shake its acronym: Fix It Again Tony.

i think the suzuki swift is the best supermini. it's cheap, nippy and looks good. the mini is like "big1" said for estate agents and hairdressers, the mitsubishi i is for pensioners, the fiat panda is for people who have given up on life, and the smart is for hairdressers and gay men. the yaris, fabia, corsa and all the other superminis i havent mentioned are either dull, sluggish or just crap.

The Suzuki Swift Sport is everything BMW's Mini Cooper should have been. Excellent performance, handling, value and most of all looks.
This car is just as much fun to drive as cars three times it's price.

The 1.4 16v sporting is a fantastic little car - with superb miles to the gallon and the extra 6th gear for motorway driving is a credit to the car and the genius that is fiat. The overall styling (interor and exterior) is slick and chic, and with fiat's much improved build quality as well as the high quality after sales service (for all those new car little niggles) is second to none, making this a car to be reckoned with! oh and did I also mention the value for money for the Grande when compared to those 'other' cars with the same specifications!

I have a Panda 100hp and I love it to bits, ok it's a bit of a hard ride but now the engines bedded in it goes like a train and the looks I get from all the repmobiles as I tear past them is worth every penny. They just can't keep up!!!
The build quality is excellent( they're made in Poland) No rattles, no problems to date. The climate control is very good much better than AC. A great little car
