If you can, buy a dynamic. A lot nicer and better kitted than the active.

 

[Angus110]

Dont want to sound rude but whys it better?

 

[puntofan01]

If I was ready to replace my old mk2 Punto with a Grande Punto, I'd want a dynamic because my personal opinion is that the details are nicer: you get alloys instead of the cheap looking wheeltrims on the active, plus colour coded mirrors. Details like that make a surprising amount of difference. And most importantly, as far as I'm concerned, the dynamic gets 6 airbags, and the active has just 2.

Alright
Im test driving a dynamic tomorrow
Thanks for your help

 

[puntofan01]

No worries! I hope it turns out to be a good 'un for you tomoz!

 

[puntofan01]

Did you end up buying that Grande Punto?

 

[Angus110]

Nope didnt have full servive history and tiny miles so didnt trust it
Went for a active instead just because there was one for sale near me

I've never seen the point in the 1.2, for me it's more expensive to insure my 1.2 than a 1.4 8v :s
Considering my age I'd have thought the smaller the engine the cheaper.

Here is one for you for insurance. It is cheaper for me to get insured on my mjet than it is to get added on my gfs 1 litre yaris. Engine size means nothing

 

[kyle96]

Must explain how friends of mine, similar ages, are able to get insured on 100bhp+ cars in their own name.

It's rather annoying how they can rip someone off for a cheap, pretty reliable (as far as i'm concerned), underpowered car

It's all down to the statistics of accident data

I'll be going from a 2004 1.2 active to a 2008 1.4 Eleganza, and the cost to change my policy for the remaining 6 months: £53.14. Of which, £35 is admin charges!!

Bloody admin charges, will be changing my car soon so I dread to think what they will want to charge me to change my policy
