Very cheap performance car second hand.

On the road
Driving
Prefers motorways, rolls a bit too much on b-roads. Satisfyingly quick car, though.
Performance
Engine is very smooth and sounds great, but must be driven above 3500rpm to get any acceleration. Very smooth on motorways in 4th or 5th.

Reliability
No problems in 30,000 miles. Starts every time.

Seats could offer more support and are a bit too high. Plenty of room in the back though.

Fiat main dealer quite poor, managed to botch up changing the pads, and still charged £150.
