Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Cost a lot new, and with Fiat depreciation, best bet is to buy second hand or nearly new, so biggest chunk of value is lost, but car is very highly equipped for a small car! Packed full of features standard, which usually are not seen on cars above 25k.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Insurance is ridiculously high for its class, being group 14! Likes to drink when driven hard which, let's face it, is why you bought it or thinking of buying one in the first place... to drive it 'spiritedly', so it's expected! -)

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great car to drive, one of the best in it`s class, responsive steering!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    As said before, likes to be driven hard! 4000+rpm is when the car opens up, and is quite fast! Puts a lot of bigger more expensive cars to shame! A pleasure to work through rev range with gearbox!

  • Living with it

    Let's face it... it's probably the best looking car in its class!! And Abarth model in Broom Yellow is that little bit more special and looks really aggresive!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quite comfortable. Seats are comfy and a good driving positon can be acheived. A bit of a 'stiff' ride, but it is a sporty car after all... its suspension setup is more for performance than for comfort and the car does handle quite well.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quite good. Comes with Thatcham Cat.2 Immobiliser, remote central locking and alarm as standard, along with Fiat's 'Key Code'...

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fiat's 'aftercare' is usually a bit hit and miss, but there are a few good dealerships out there... it's just hard work finding them!
