Compared to other cars in its range, they're a good price to buy and they usually have all the electrics.

Not the cheapest seeing as most of the problems are under the bonnet.

On the road
Driving
Got 205 width wheels on. Handles a priest after choir practice.
Performance
You can beat a BMW 1.8 of the lights. For a 1.6 it's good, but it's fantastic when you consider its low insurance group.

Living with it
Reliability
Some days it seems to be running good, others it doesn't. Mines broken down 8 times in the last 2 months. Before that it was good.
Image
Sassy! Look at that backside. Definately has secs appeal.
Comfort
Average. Your bum can get numb if you're in there for a while, mind you it's a small car and im 6' 5'' and can fit.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm, no attempted break-ins. Pretty good.
Service
DONT USE FIAT. They're not that good at fixing things but they're good at breaking them. Go to an independant specialist.
