The ins and outs of Puntos

my mum's Ford Ka for the past 7 months since I passed my test, and having done a fair amount of research I've decided a Mrk1 Punto would be a safe bet.

Hi Tim,

Got a Mk2 Punto 1.2 16v HLX myself back in November and used the AA's website and found it to be very useful have a look here and do a search, with the specs your looking for.

Got a 1995 60 SX myself... good car, no doubt!

as mentioned, I got an SX but no height-adjust whatsoever, but i got a centre console. I have to admit that I'm from germany, might be the specs differ from country to country...

In your equations 1st number gives the HPs, 2nd the the cylinder capacity (displacement) in litres. Im my case i got an SX 60 1.2 meaning quite _S_ome e_X_tras ( ;-) ), 60HP and 1242 ccm.

And baby, they're neat machines...

never mind

MOST IMPORTANT: Don't buy a Punto without the red key! Al

Hi Mate

I recently bought a 99 T reg punto 85SX which is a 1.2 16V. The car is sound and is very quick. It has electric windows, power steering, alloy wheels etc. I would really recomend buying a punto but only go for the 16V version as the standard 1.0 and 1.1 don't give fantastic results. I gurantee you will be very pleased with the 1.2 16V. The only way I would ever get rid of my punto is for a Mk 2 sporting. Happy Motoring

Thanks guys!

Esp for the link to the Parkers web site - very handy indeed.

Hopefully I'll be joining your ranks as a Punto owner in the not too distant future!
