Agree - wife had one for a few years and it is possibly pound-for-pound the best handling FWD car ever built - it was a riot.Originally Posted by Roberto
Very few 1.7's left (the engines are frail enough) and any €1k ones will be rust buckets - that's what has killed off most of them from our roads (rear arches & sills notoriously bad).
If you find a well maintained, rust free 1.7 for a grand, I'll take it in a heartbeat. There was a Puma Racing local to me for a few years (garaged and rarely out), but it sounded great when he opened the taps - little could keep with it in the twisties - a very underrated car indeed !
