Because it is hard to sell you get a great deal.

On the road
Driving
Enjoyable drive. 1.6 engine punchy.
Performance
You feel it has a lot more, but the set up holds that back. Still good in 1st to 3rd. Moves you off smoothly, but aggressively.

Living with it
Reliability
Engine is good. But the electrics are iffy. CD went off once without warning then came back? Console area rattles too much. If Fiat could sort these types of problems permanently they would have a winner.
Image
The 3 dr is superb. Looks great in most colours.
Comfort
Dynamic model. Seat comforatable. Good adjustmets available.

Security and Service
Security
Seems ok. Who would steal a Fiat?
Service
Never used them. The rattles got to me and it's a Mercedes now.

Problems
Engine
None. Punchy and good 1.6 version. Fiats strong point.
Other
Rattles. How can you design a great car and then let yourself down and customer confidence with noise issues? Really confusing and sad.
