Fiat Croma (05-07) - Review Review by Parkers on 18 August 2005 Last Updated: 31 October 2005 The Fiat Croma was only sold for a brief period of two years in the UK. Despite some strong diesel engines and a roomy interior, the ungainly styling and poor driving experience found few fans. Its biggest problem is that it doesn't quite know what it - halfway between an MPV and a traditional estate it's neither one nor the other. But if you want something with plenty of passenger space and a decent boot then the Croma can make a bargain buy. The petrol engines are best avoided as the Multijet diesels are far superior and although the handling is forgettable, the Croma does ride well and makes a comfortable cruiser. 2.5 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 4 out of 5 Safety The Croma has been awarded a top five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating and comes with seven airbags (plus two optional) and ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution as standard, with an electronic stability programme fitted on 1.9-litre 150bhp and 2.4-litre 200bhp models.

However, as is often the case in Fiat, we've heard of niggling and repetitive faults from owners - particularly in terms of electrics and engine management.
