    Bought and put 40k miles on one. Mostly due to pistonheads raving about them. Was a brilliant car. Mine had KW coilovers and was a real laugh. Had to rebuild a rear caliper and that’s it. If you want to turbo one then buy a Punto. Enjoy it for what it is.

    My 6n2 2001 Polo GTI 1.6 16v 125bhp goodness only a tad over 1000kg proves this point too - mine Koni ST-R dampers all round with Eibech Pro-line springs fully polybushed throughout it go and handles like glue. Something about old high revving 16v's that small Turbo engines just can't beat in feel.

    I drive a Fiat Panda 4x4 but mine is the 0.9 twinair turbo, that's just 875cc only 2 cylinders but still developes 85bhp!!

      I have a 2011 1.2 Panda and it'll do that no problem and safely too so a 100hp version would find it a walk in the park. My 1.2 is comfy, quiet, sits on the motorway at 70mph no problem and returns 45mpg, I keep getting tempted by a 100hp myself but because mine is so reliable I don't want to get rid yet.
