Theres a reason why the punto is the most common car in Ireland, its a really good car.
One of the fastest and biggest of its range.

Erm I have the exact same model Punto as you and no way could you call it 'fast'! It's nippy but god you really feel the 1.25l engine :-/

man , noway would anyone insure you on a 200sx ( HAHA especially on a provo ) ..and if you were lucky enough to , they would charge ridiculous rates.

they only way id believe it is this , its your mams car and your drivin it to school uninsured (and liying to people that it is ) - yes i ve done it and i know others who have too , so at least use a more realistic figure than 1700.

and wats the story with the car park, why on earth wouldnt you be allowed park in it?? - i never had any probs. nobody gave a crap where u parked.


im sorry but im gonna have to call Bull$hit on this one!

whats so unbelievable about that quote it costs her 430 without me on it and 1700 ish with me as a named, im insured on it properly

yeah basically the carpark is if we hit somebody the school isnt covered for students on provisionals, but is for teachers on them i dunno why though

Yeah I learnt to drive with ISM in one of their sh*tty micras, I see what you mean, although the main annoyance I found was their brakes are dangerously sensitive!

Started on a focus 1.4 insurance on that was 1400 on prov licence named driver

now on nissan x-trail 2.2 jeep scared to ask what insurance is but i think it might have been the same cause the cars where under same company and the policys just got switched or something

think theres about 10 people who drive to school but loads of people drive parents cars

Well in about five weeks(17 in feb) I will be driving a 2002 Vw passat TDI to school. Its not my own car but I will be driving it most of the time. Just wondering if you all have your cars to yourselves or is anyone else in your family insured to drive it aswell?

As im only a named driver on my dads policy for the car, he can drive it aswell but thankfully doesnt!

Thank god he hates stick shifts!:v:

Cars these days...

I have no car as I live not 10 minutes from my school, on foot.

Plus I am far too cheap to buy a car, insurance, petrol, road tax and all the other rig-a-ma-roll that goes along with it.

That being said I would like a car, but I am certainly not prepared to pay for it and everything else.

i own the 200sx but my ma can drive it aswell as my da, but thankfully they dont too often, i have a hard enough job trying to keep tyres on it:D

Why wouldn't you believe him, its a '94 200sx so 1.8 turbo.... his insurance quote doesn't seem unreal, €1700-2000 seems about right.......

Umiq88

well im on a 2.2turbo so doesnt seem that unbelievable i guess

Mr Ed

Watch out the door doesn't fall off the auld Punto some day when your getting out! This actually happened to a buddy of mine.

In all, three friends had a fiat punto and all three had loads of problems. Terrible car.

dogz

one of my friends has, had a punto, one day he was driving home and the sump just drops off, no ramps or anythig just bump and a seized engine, fiats eh!:rolleyes:
