Fiat Stilo Hatchback 1.9 JTD Dynamic 3d (2002/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
It's several thousand pounds less than the VW Golf and just as well specified although probably not as refined.
Costs
Fixed price services from Fiat so no surprises. Heavy engine at the front coupled with front wheel drive means it eats tyres.

On the road
Driving
Handles very well and takes corners with ease.
Performance
It goes well, especially in 3rd gear. Performance comparable to a petrol engine and I still get 55mpg from a tank.

Living with it
Reliability
OK so far. Only problems have been with the airbag sensors.
Comfort
It's Italian so not built for big people but its OK for me being 6ft.
