I just got back to the UK today (only for 3 days mind....) and am staying at my wife's cousin's flat, and what should be parked in the car park, but a Nighthawk Black CDTi.......

Is it you.....

Mines the crappy Fiat Grande Punto Hire car that Europcar fobbed me off with!!!!

I read that the interior of the new Grande Punto is a nightmare of cheap plastics. And, out of interest what's it like to drive? Don't forget it was up for Car of the Year against the Civic!

The interior Is shockingly poor.....You're right in saying that the plastics are cheap, and from what I see, badly put together too....

It handles very well, but has to be THE most gutless car I've ever driven....Nt sure which engine this one has, but having driven a 1.4 2006 Civic, I can confirm that this Punto is MUCH, MUCH slower....
