Living with it
Reliability
Has never broken down in the 2 years that I've owned it. Clutch replacement required at 28,000 miles due to clutch judder (replaced under warranty). Otherwise mostly pretty reliable, except interior light is dodgy.
Image
Definitely an attractive car, especially in azure blue. But starting to look a little dated now.
Comfort
Good on a long journey, comfortable seats. Could do with a better glovebox and other storage. Harsh ride at low speeds.

Security and Service
Security
Locks don't appear to be very good.
Service
Terrible dealer network. Worst thing about owning a Fiat.
