So Im thinking about moving onto better things
love my car but just want/need a bit more power
would have about 7-8k to spend
must be older than 03 and not Italian(no offence lads:p)

bear in mind Im 20 so something round 100 bhp, and alright on insurance and oh yeh cool:cool:

my current car is a 04 1L sxi Corsa

Surely you mean newer?

Can you explain why "not Italian", and don't use "reliability" as thats entirely invalid on recent cars.

yes I do

I love alfa's styling and fiats quirkyness-I know its not a word, but I dont want one at the moment
but If you really want to recommend one go ahead and I will consider it

reliability

It seems to tick most of your boxes, 100bhp, nippy ( 0-60 10.4 seconds) looks well.

I think there's a similar 1.6 in the fiesta...not too sure if they're the same...although i'd presume they are
