Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Compare it with an Astra or Escort and it wins hands down.
Costs
Quite pricey - wheel trims cost £65 for 4 from Fiat. Sups petrol when enjoying myself.

On the road
Driving
Brakes superb, corners well, but rolls a bit.
Performance
Fiat are so modest! I have embarrassed Saxo VTRs and XR2is. Lacks pull with 4 people in car though.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Where to start - engine overheats, heater matrix blown, shocks worn quickly.
Image
Looks better than any Astra or Escort. Even Focus looks boring compared. Bravo nicer though!
Comfort
Seats are comfy, but lack side support. Dissapointing ride on rougher roads.
-
Security and Service
Security
No alarm/immobiliser, but Fiat ECU red key ensures near pointless theft of the car.
