28,000 miles on the clock and no problems.

Looks good, but it's just another car in a cast of millions.

Some complain about firmness, but I like a firm ride. I can feel what's happening on the road.

Security
Alarm, immobiliser and remote central locking standard on this model.
Service
Most dealers employ cheaply-waged yoofs, Fiat are no exception. You get what you pay for (in my experience).
