Second hand prices are a bargain, insurance very cheap, 40+ MPG.

Good MPG, servicing cheap - avoid main dealer. I use a local independant Fiat specialist.

On the road
Driving
Excellent ride and handling for a small car. Lots of room and lumbar adjustable driver's seat.
Performance
Not bad for a 1.2. Holds its own on the motorway and easy to drive about town.

Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down.
Image
Still the best looking car in its class. Far prettier than the latest model Punto. Best in bright metallic colours. Stunning with abarth skirts and spoiler. A set of alloys really sets it off.
Comfort
Good seats and plenty of leg / headroom. Driver's seat is height adjustable and has adjustable lumbar support.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser. Advise fitting aftermarket alarm.
Service
Main dealer too expensive in labour charges. Find a local independent who'll do a better job for less.
