Fiat Multipla JTD ELX (105bhp) 5d (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A lot of usability for the money. Mine works very hard, though the build quality in some areas is lacking.
Costs
Things do break (usually minor), but generally parts are cheap. Find a good local garage.

On the road
Driving
Much more wieldy than it looks. Have left conventional cars for dead on a twisty road.
Performance
Diesel the only way to go as 1.6 petrol is gutless. Needs the 2.4L 5 cylinder!

Living with it
Reliability
Has let me down a few times. Clutch master cylinder failed. Water pump destroyed itself. See www.multiplaowners.co.uk for the realities of Multipla ownership
Image
Not everybodys cup of tea, but grows on you. Other owners wave!
Comfort
I'm well over 6ft and have few complaints. Seats could do with more side support.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm has a mind of its own.
Service
Not interested at all in problems. Find an independent.
