Fiat Multipla JTD ELX (110bhp) 5d (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Fiat willing to give a good discount - a lot of car for the money compared to Zafira/Megane/Xsara Picasso. Would have preferred not to have elec sunroofs/fog lights but wanted air con and higher spec interior.
Costs
Servicing interval and costs look good on paper.

On the road
Driving
Excellent drive/ride - a little hard at times but holds the road well. Diesel has plenty of acceleration.
Performance
Good fuel economy: mixed urban and motorway driving gives 43 mpg consistently. Steady speeds will yield: 73 mpg @ 50 mph; 56mpg @ 60mph; 46 mpg @ 70 mph; 39 mpg @ 80 mph.

Living with it
Reliability
Too early to say - have researched other owner reviews and only found one bad one in 20.
Image
Got to give a high rating. This is the car if you want to stop people in their tracks and you like being stared at.
Comfort
Comfortable seats but could offer a bit more support. Loads of space, especially if you mount the rear seats in their forward position - this gives you a huge boot.

Security and Service
Security
ELX has standard alarm, but reviews I have seen do not put much store by Fiat alarms.
Service
Personal service has been good so far but Fiat seem to get a slating in general.
