A good price for what you get.

Fuel consumption excellent. Parts relativley cheap if you don't go to a dealer.

Driving
Very nippy for a 1.1. A lot of fun, however suspension leaves a little to be desired - you really do feel the bumps.

Living with it
Reliability
Not as reliable as I would have hoped. So far in 3 years, I have replaced the following: clutch, head gasket, rear arm and catalytic converter (£250).

What you see is what you get.
Comfort
I am 6' 3". The SX comes with seat height adjustment and lumbar bar adjustment, which makes long journeys pretty comfortable. Could do with a little more legroom, though.

Security and Service
Security
Came with immobiliser as standard. Would have liked an alarm as well.
Service
This was my 3rd Fiat. I have seen a decline in reliability and a rise in parts and labour.
