So far, faultless!
Our little Red Sport was supplied by Glyn Hopkins in St Albans, who, despite having a bit of a Barrow Boy rep, have served me impeccably so far.
I fitted Chrome bumper trims and a Moustache, Italian flags on the wings, and some other genuine bits from Ebay, so she looks the nuts now.
Average mpg is 47 in SWMBO's hands, but 50+ in mine, and I drive it briskly, but very economically to achieve that. Bursts of insane (for a 1.2) speed are tempered by some very careful use when I won't be able to use the 'ample power'
It has a couple of tiny creaks, the odometer has had the glitch a few times, but resets once the ignition is turned off-and-on but she's a lovely lovely little thing.
So impressed, I have just traded an '07 Merc C200 CDi for a new Bravo. Strange, but true...!
Good points: Styling, Refinement, Gearchange, User-friendliness
Bad Points: Blue & Me + iPod incompatibility! Front seat slides out of position when tipped forward, A bit out of depth on Motorways, or Windy dual carriageways, and not so economical when driven hard!
I love the fact you can drive with wide open windows without a terrific howling gale, I don't love the ride, but front end grip is heroic for standard tyres.
A cracking bit of kit! Well done FIAT. :worship:
