Hehe 1700M, yes. Seen it before. Sat in a Stilo MS too. It's
handling abilities are pretty good. Hard cornering gives you a
little bit of roll. Comfort for backseat passengers is pretty
adequate.
Drove the Punto HGT and a Tipo 1.8T before as well. Never mind the
Tipo cause that's obsolete already. The HGT is something I might
call "fragile". Electronics can mess up if you keep driving it
hard. Handling wise, it's pretty nimble and something more of a
sporty town hop-about. At lower speeds with tight corners, you
won't be getting much understeer. FC, not too sure. ITs stability
is also more than you can ask for in a car with its shape.
Overall, a pleasant driving
experience. Can't comment on ownership though..
