Gaining inspiration from other van-based cars like the Renault Kangoo and Citroen Berlingo, the Fiat Doblo is a spacious and versatile people carrier that (from 2004) is available with seven-seats. The squared-off shape does little for the looks, but it does mean there's loads of room for passengers in the back while folding all the seats down gives an enormous load-space.

Running costs

Fiat parts and servicing are reasonable, but the dealers don't have the greatest reputation for customer care. The Doblo is fairly bullet proof though and there are few gadgets to go wrong, while economy is good on all models, especially the 1.3 MultiJet.
