Grande Punto Abarth - new owner

[Junior Mint]

Picked up our GPA on Saturday from Research in Nuneaton.



Part ex'd our Punto Sporting which we'd owned for 9 years. I absolutely loved that car so hoping the new one gives us as many years fun.

I'm 39 1/2 weeks pregnant so not even driven it yet but did enjoy the test drive a few weeks ago.

Steve, my husband, is keen on the Essesse kit so we may consider that after Christmas once we've had a test drive in one.

Ian at Research has been good. Although there is seems to be a standard no discount policy across all Abarth dealers there is room to manoevre on a part ex and we got a very good price for the Sporting. Autoworld at Chesterfield weren't as keen to do a deal.

Abarth do seem to be missing a trick with advertising and accessories, etc and really need to try and time things a bit better for the launch of the 500 (no brochures, mats, etc yet available in the UK for the GPA).

Very nice, the best colour too I think.

Is that your old Punto?

How old was it, it looks in great condition.

Hi Catherine,

Yes, that was our old car. It was an '98 S reg with about 90k on the clock. It was mint and had lived a pretty comfortable life with 90% motorway miles. Hope it goes to a good home.
