My first Stilo. update...

52 plate 1. 6 dynamic 5 door... 24k on the clock...Had it 3 months now.... few problems...

Cd changer packed in 112 quid second hand replacement...

odd leccy problems on rain sensors/ reversing parking sensors...

Air con broke.... (luckily under 3 month warranty phew)

under belly try (below sump) decided to go AWOL on the M62...

jack looks like its about to collapse under the cars weight while changing the wheels...

but ahhh well i cannot fault the car barring that.....

For 3995 and all the gadgets you get on it i cant complain.... Absolute bargain..

thought id post this because if anyone is looking at a stilo you cant go far wrong... one thing that really suprised me was the handling.... its like poo to a blanket.... as long as you dont touch the brakes into the corners it absolutely flies... turn asp off to have the most fun... and i know people say the 1.6 is underpowered... its quite a revvy engine... keep the revs up and it goes like stink...


So all in all im really impressed with my stilo.. thanks for the good advice on the car people.....


also forgot to add... ragging it it still gets 28-32 mpg... steady 70 on motorway pushes 40-41mpg...
