Fiat Multipla (2000 - 2010) 1.9 Multijet Eleganza 5d (2010/10) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says that I didn't do my research properly and that I really should have taken a test drive before buying.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They think that it's a bit strange looking and quirky.

Would you buy this car again and why?

NEVER EVER

What are you likely to buy next?

I have replaced this car with VW Sharan.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£17,999

When did you buy the car?

June 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a reasonable deal, I was trading in and was offered very similar deals from a couple of different dealers.The car certainly wasn't cheap or even especially good value

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Bought as a family car to avoid having a large MPV

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was OK but I had to phone them to find out dates and times etc as they kept forgetting to call me.

What's it like to drive?

Horrible to drive, it's noisy and bumpy with uncomfortable seats. The gearbox in particular seems very badly ratio'd meaning the car never feels like it's in the right gear

What's it like to park?

Easy to park, it's quite small and has reverse park sensors - however it has a poor turning circle.

Have you had any problems with the car?

There was an intermittent fault with the alarm which meant that sometimes the indicator lights would stay on when the car was being locked. Also the car developed an oil leak after it's first service which was caused by a badly fitted oil filter

What's most practical about your car?

Being able to get six adults into such a small car

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The aircon is very good and controllable.
