Fiat Bravo (2007 - 2014) 1.4 T-Jet Sport 5d Owner Review

How reliable do you find the car?

Okay so gotta be totaly honest i brought the car being young and needing somthing pretty fast which by any means this bravo especialy with th sports button on hits 80mph in 3rd gear easy , but anyhow i had this car drove it proberly 100 miles and as you could expect being italian run into a whole bunch of problems , trip com box with the window washer being a dual run on one motor not work 400 pound fix , steering rack was warn , 1200 quid job , then biggest problem these cars suffer they eat drive shafts driven lightly then youll still suffer driven hard and youll be digging deep at 200/400 quid a pop mine had recipts from new with over 7 fitted and totaly maintaind from a lady owner from new fsh from fiat , only to be blown away the diff had actuly gone instead.. was well gutted! Obviously i never fixed any of these problems after deep reserch and finding out that certain parts are stupidly hard to aquire. Shame as the car is beautiful and pleasant to drive reserch m32 gear box the vauxhall insignias have them , VXR have them and most alfas have them 0.9 litre ones sufffer the gearbox so that tell you somthing....

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

This car wouldve done everything reason for the 2 stars is i diddnt even get round to using it much because of all the mechanical issues the suffer and the difficulty of parts and prices / labour.. even tho most things i can work on myself its just not suitable especialy when needed as a daily
