you think its just the rear suspension that is wrong? Good god no, the entire suspension and set up is a shambles :lol:

Body roll? Hell i think I have leaned my punto over further than the SV, could almost get the mirrors down! :shock:

Fiat handling, not sure about the others but definitely on the punto is terrible, absolutely horrible, but I still love it so much, I have no idea why, I can really drive the nuts off that thing though, I mean really really. The one good thing about the punto is that it is lightweight, which is great when the tank is empty. The one thing though that has ALWAYS amazed me is that no matter what car I have driven, the Punto's throttle response has ALWAYS been better, I mean on the Mk1 in 1st the thing is sooooo responsive its in fact incredibly snatchy.

Ahhh I love the little beast, some good times and so absolutly fabulous times embarrising a lot bigger, better and a lot lot more expensive cars.

A few years back I sold Fiat and Alfa cars and I can honestly say that my favourite demo car throughout my time there was a Fiat Punto Sporting. It is the best handling small car I have driven. It is also one of a very select few front wheel drive cars that I have been consistently able to oversteer - especially on wet roundabouts. Great fun.

Well as you know Marrus has the Blue Porsche Boxter 2.7 (just for Benji - they wouldnt insure me on the 3.2 so couldnt get that one) and yes I drive a big boring Ford Explorer. Well someone has to chauffer the dog around while others are out having fun on their bike lol.

(Bloody insurance!!! Still the 2.7 is nice! Its still a Porsche, its still RWD and it will still go sideways round roundabouts!)

VTwin I can get the 55S to oversteer, its hard work but it can be done though usually the tyres are so deformed by this point it can go all kinds of pair shaped, had the rims dangerously close to the ground apparently.

Damn TC/ASC/AYC/GSM/TPO blah blah blah, if I ever get a car complicated enough, I'll remove the fuse for the traction control :twisted:

Take it easy all!
