Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I paid 2450 quid for mine, and it looks immaculate. Unreal value.
Costs
Cheap insurance if you have NCD. Find a specialist garage - Fiat are useless. Drinks a lot round town.

On the road
Driving
Needs a strut brace to correct front-end shake. Improved by Novitec springs too. On a sunny day with the roof off - marvellous.
Performance
Stupidly quick really. 200KMH on the Autobahn.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Over 18 months mine has been completely reliable.
Image
Stunning - but avoid black or yellow.
Comfort
I'm 6´1"" and can get pretty comfy. Needs the wind deflector.

Security and Service
Security
Without the immobiliser key it isn't going anywhere. Plus the boot is lockable from the inside.
Service
I have an excellent local Fiat specialist, non-franchise.
