Living with it
Reliability
Had rear axel, both head lights and rear tyres replaced under warranty. All problems took a call from Fiat to complete. Very poor dealership couldn't care less.
Image
Retro fit alloys look good and help the handling.
Comfort
Seats and steering are good.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm as standard, retro fit.
Service
Dealer fitted light bulbs upside down then the blamed wiring. I contacted Fiat, they replaced the head lights. After 5 months I replaced rear axel after long delay.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
After service oil leaks. Poor dealership, every repair had to return car for poor workmanship faults.
Other
16 tyres in 2 years. Had this as a Taxi so its up to 57,000 miles. Very poor road holding in corners when light, worse when loaded, it could do with rear anti-roll bar and the rear axel tied down better as it sits too high on the road.
