Fiat Tipo 1.4ie S 5d (2003/52) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
A lot of car for a small price, especially if buying from an auction house.
Costs
Drinks the oil which costs enough, but otherwise cheap.

Driving
Not the nicest car to drive, but then not the nicest car on the road.
Performance
Nice speed for a smaller car. Certainly not a boring drive.

Reliability
One or two electronic glitches and drinks oil, but otherwise road worthy.
Image
It's a Fiat, so you have to expect the cheese wedge effect image.
Comfort
Far more roomy and comfortable than Fiestas and similar cars of the era.
