Fiat Bravo (2007 - 2014) 1.4 T-Jet Sport 5d (2009/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I don't want to be in the boring old focus/golf/astra club.

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

They like it - they all think it looks great

Would you buy this car again and why?

No but only because I like trying new cars and with the inevitable expansion of my family, I'll most likely need a bigger one

What are you likely to buy next?

I like the look of the Skoda Superb estate

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£11,700

When did you buy the car?

January 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. Dealer matched and probably bettered any deal that I'd found on the internet.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

My old car broke!

What was the dealer like?

Very good really - it was pretty obvious that they were almost desperate to sell a car with the current economic climate which I suppose helped!

What's it like to drive?

Very easy to drive, I think it handles well, perhaps doesn't give you much feedback as a driver but the best thing by far is the engine. It has the surge of power from low revs like a diesel but just keeps on revving - brilliant

What's it like to park?

OK - The dealer accidentally put reverse sensors on which does help 'cause it's not the easiest car to see out of.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, everything like clockwork so far - I am a little nervous owning a fiat because their reliability record isn't great but so far I have no complaints.

What's most practical about your car?

Probably the blue&me bluetooth phone function - just takes all the hassle and breaking the law out of using your phone while driving.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The sport button is nice but I try not to use it too often as it increases fuel consumption by about a million percent and it's basically a bad influence!
