Is it a car I'd know Paul? Zetec S is the best out your list, deffo.

Fiats have come on hell of a way recently. They are very nice cars to own and drive these days. My last 2 company cars have been Fiats. Although the Punto GT does fall into the shit-box Fiat period.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd have the 106 out of those.

Don't think so. It's from mauchline. Ive never seen it before though! It's got bilstiens all round, a s/s exhaust and different wheels. I quite like them softspokes in the wheels for sale bit. If I get the car I'll take a trip up to fife to get them. Wanna take me? Lol

The 106 GTi ofcourse Nimble & chuckable little car. Wouldn't want a corsa, I mean who willfully wants a vauxhall? :P I wonder why you didn't add renault clio sport to the list. I mean I do hate french interios, well not hate but they could be better. If your budget allows it why not get something slightly bigger a megane maybe? although that has a strange design, looks like it has half a hat at its back :P

Whatever you might get hope you have fun with your new car & drive carefully

Thought about a Puma 1.7 mate?? Might be worth a look before you do the deal on the ZS Fez... looks a bit girlier as standard, handles just as well, but has a wee bit more poke about it so not likely to get so bored of it.


Cheers,
Grant

Out of those four i would probably go for the zetec-s, purely because i don't like the driving position in the pug. Yes the pug's probably a bit quicker and better handling but i know if i had one, the pedals would piss me right off. When i test drove one i found they were far too close together and they're really offset as well, i struggled to get comfortable and had to sit at an angle. I would imagine a longish journey would completely knacker your back.
