Hi

I'm new to the forum. Currently I drive a Fiat Punto sporting but in thinking of changing to a Twingo Gt. I hope to start looking in a couple of weeks once I've sold my current car. Are there any specific things to look out for? What are they like to live with? If I'm honest the only thing that puts me off slightly is the interior as it looks a bit basic. I've not actually driven one yet but I think I'll like it! Any advice would be appreciated.
 
leaking scuttle pannel, make sure the timing belt has been changed if it is close to or over 60k miles. always good to have a service history. make sure it drives nice too, you'll absolutely love your first drive in a gt. you'll get quite the fright when that turbo spools in too :D
 
If you can go for a GT that's a 10 plate as the interior is black rather than the beige in the earlier models.

Also be wary on the clutch as some GT's clutches do slip but that's only really for previous owners that would try and do 0-60 times often (usually, but sometimes it just can happen)
