Fiat Brava (95-02) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Good looking, talented family hatchbacks that are functional but fun. Three­door Bravo has a sporty character and holds its value better on the used market. Brava is the practical choice for families, with five­door access and more room in the back. Both are modern and fairly reliable, but prices are surprisingly affordable. The range was improved and re-badged in early 1999, knocking the used value of earlier cars hard.

Buying used

Despite a high-profile TV and press campaign, the attractive Bravo/Brava never conquered its split personality: buyers could never work out which was which. Bravo is the three-door hatchback, appealing to younger drivers with sporty looks and generous equipment. The family choice – the five-door Brava – is just as generously equipped and offers plenty of space for four adults and a decent sized luggage area.

Selling

Buyers tend to prefer the Bravo JTD 100 HLX, it's a modern diesel offering a good drive and great value. they avoid the Brava 80 16v SX (1.2): cheap to own and run, but lacks the sophistication of better specified models.
