Fiat Bravo (2007 - 2014) 1.4 T-Jet Dynamic 5d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Likes to take a chance :).

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Think I'm an idiot for buying a Fiat, but in 18 months it's never let me down and hasn't cost a penny beyond normal servicing costs.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably not as I actually like driving and this just isn't a drivers car, but as something to get from A to B it's fine and reliable with no creaks or rattles - unusual for a Fiat but this thing is actually very well built - quite quick too when you want it to be, feels like a much bigger engine than a 1.4.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably a Ford or similar. I'd have another Fiat but if they're all as dull as this to drive, I'll pass thanks.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,500

When did you buy the car?

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes it was ok, no part ex meant I could haggle a bit.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Ok, nothing special.

What's it like to drive?

Erm, can't honestly say it's brilliant! The steering is so light and lifeless it feels like a toy and the gear shift is the same. The car gives no feedback whatsoever and the handling isn't the best - lots of roll on country lanes, but it's easy enough to drive. Seats aren't too comfy though for long distances.

What's it like to park?

If you can park other cars you can park this.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, nothing. Not even blown a light bulb.

What's most practical about your car?

5 door family saloon with a nice big boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control and USB socket. Also like the red illumination on the clocks - very tasty. Oh - and the 6th gear is great for m/way cruising.
