Fiat Argo Sting Competition
The Fiat Punto was discontinued because it was a 13 year old car and the Argo is a new safer, bigger and more efficient choice overall. The Argo Sting will compete with the Baleno, i20 and the Honda Jazz.
I drove a Punto for 8 years – i found it too small, but otherwise its a nice car. I’ve been inside the Argo just once – but must admit i really do like it. Was hoping for that sporty version to be available for purchase, but nevermind.
