Fiat Croma (2005 - 2007) 1.9 MultiJet Dynamic 5d (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like/dare to be different

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

It's big!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Not sure I would, though a top spec one for the peanuts they are selling for is tempting

What are you likely to buy next?

New C5 or Laguna

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£8,500

When did you buy the car?

September 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought it from a car supermaret. Under book price and low on miles.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Was reasonably priced and large. Cheap to run and insure.

What was the dealer like?

disinterested to put it mildly

What's it like to drive?

Not too bad. Slightly harsh ride. Jack of all trades with great visibility.

What's it like to park?

Large but great visibility

Have you had any problems with the car?

Where to start. The problems started before I took possession. A warning light came on necessitating a visit to a Fiat dealer. They made the problem with the window sensor go away and replaced it with a problem with the alarm. We have see sawed ever since. Repairing one causes the other. My car sits in bits at the dealer while they contemplate a rewiring job.

What's most practical about your car?

It's massive, eats up the motorway miles and is really rather comfy. Getting in and out is easy with the extra height, but you aren't hated like a 4x4 driver. You can get amazing economy on the motorway.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cold store in the armrest or maybe the pool lights.
