Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V 2d (LHD) (2003/53) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
You get plenty for your money, a 2 seater sports car for less than 12 grand has to be a bargain.
Costs
It does drink a fair bit of fuel on the motorway, I average around 30-35mpg so its not that costly.

On the road
Driving
Nice handling and a firm ride, lots of fun to drive!!
Performance
It's quick an lively over 3500rpm and the engine has a nice sporty note to it!
-
Living with it
Reliability
I've not had mine long enough to have any problems but I've heard that most problems have been sorted on the new models.
Image
It never fails to draw attention, the rarity of it also adds a touch of 'mystique'.
Comfort
The firm ride doesn't affect comfort and there's plenty of room inside for the taller person.

Security and Service
Security
It's a soft top so it's never going to be the safest of cars, good alarm is a must!
Service
I saw one, wanted one and had it delivered the following week, so no problems at all.
