Fiat has expanded its Grande Punto UK line-up with the addition of the 1.4 T-Jet Sporting version. Equipped with Fiat Group’s new turbocharged 1.4-liter petrol unit that delivers 120Hp and a maximum torque of 152 lb ft, the Grande Punto Sporting manages to sprint from 0 to 62mph (100km/h) in 8.9 seconds while it achieves a top speed of 121mph (195km/h). According to Fiat, the Sporting 1.4 T-Jet features an avg. consumption of 42.8mpg (UK) on the combined cycle, while the engine emits 155g/km CO2. We’ve driven the specific version of the Grande Punto and despite its gorgeous looks and promising 1.4 T-Jet engine though, unfortunately it doesn’t live up to expectations in terms of driving dynamics - if you’re looking for an economic mini GTi, then you’re definitely better off with the Ford Fiesta 1.6 Zetec S. -Continued after the jumpRecommended retail prices for the 1.4 T-Jet 120 in the UK are £11,995 for the three-door model and £12,595 for the five-door with standard equipment including: 17-inch alloy wheels, Air conditioning, Sports seats, Leather steering wheel, Chrome tailpipe, Spoiler and sideskirts, ESP, Six airbags and Fiat’s Blue & Me, a voice-activated music and communications system, developed in conjunction with Microsoft.
