Fiat Bravo (07 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 09 July 2007 Last Updated: 31 January 2012 Fiat is back in the family hatchback market with a bang. The Bravo is a replacement for the Stilo - a car that didn't prove very popular due to its dull looks and a cheap feeling interior. Its replacement couldn't be more different however. It may use the same name as Fiat's three-door hatch from the mid-1990s but this car is a generously sized five-door that is a credible alternative to the likes of the Ford Focus. It's elegant and sporty, but most crucially is priced well below its mainstream European rivals. The diesel engines are frugal, but the smaller T-Jet petrol unit offers punchy performance with impressive economy. 3.5 out of 5 Other Fiat reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £15,205 - £19,605 View all new prices Used price range: £3,387 - £12,027 View all used prices See 8 new models for sale from £12,495 Get a Fiat Bravo (07 on) information pack Next steps Fiat Bravo cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
