Are Stilo's prone to going through a lot of parts?

Thanks for making my day

So are you local to me then as Bournemouth airport can't be more than 5 miles up the road ?

what i've had in 4 1/2 years ownership and 55k miles

gearbox x3
clutch (due to gearbox explosion)
brake pads front x2
brake pads rear x1
front tyres x 6 (6 sets of 2)
rear tyres x3 (3 sets of 2)
headlight bulb x2 in passenger side
rear sidelight bulb x1
wipers 4 sets
rear wiper blade
drop links
rear calliper anti rattle clips
fuse x5 before i give over buying them for the cig lighter as it keeps blowing them & i dont smoke
wheel trim x1
brake light switch x1 but repaired again since
pollen filter x1
exhaust flexi

and a windscreen after hitting an owl at 70mph

compare this to my seat ibiza i had previously and trust me, this isnt a lot of parts (gearboxes under warranty)

seat ibiza in 60k went through

two pistons
cylinderhead
head gasket
two batteries
alternator
engine mounts
spark plugs x8
dizzie cap
rotor arm
coil lead
coil
engine temp sensor
voltage regulation problems
gear knob
gear linkage bushes
clutch cable
tyres about 4 every 6 months
wiper linkage
light bulbs galore
a litre of oil every 3 weeks
exhaust - full system
wheel trim

numerous mornings with it not starting or cutting out in traffic jams

then, after 3yrs of ownership and just as i got it running right some tw@t killed it by rear ending it in a micra

The JTD in the last 22 months / 38K has, in terms of non fair wear & tear items gone through:

OSF Anti rollbar link & front sidelight bulb
(Under warranty when I first had the car )
NSF Spring & Anti rollbar links (Set of springs replaced & paid for by FIAT @ 50 months/36.5K - Result c/o Mrs WNWL! Anti rollbar links as a precaution.)
NSR brake caliper guide pins (Somebody's previous ham fisted attempts to free seized caliper with brute force, heat & mole grips )
OCS pad in front passenger seat.
Weather strip bottom of NSR Door window replaced (curled up at leading edge )
Top glove box hinge - my own clumsy fault! not fixed to date

Otherwise new discs & pads - Front 40K & Rear 49K
Battery @ 5 years & 50K

Else just regular Fiatcare Gold servicing (+ recent cambelt kit @ 60 months / 55.5K) & a new set of wiper blades every year! Got 57K up now and engine still uses / burns no oil. Only other thing is fairly frequent tracking (every 3-4 months) but I am managing to get 21K out of a set of tyres (I tend to replace when between 2.5 - 3.0 mm tread remaining as beyond this both JTD and 1.6 5dr Stilo I had before feel less than sure footed!)

i was told by 2 fiat dealers the stilo engine range doesnt need a cambelt until year six or 75k

That's a new one on me BBS - did you get it in writing

In the service book it says 72k or 5 years

.

live in winton mate, not many stilos/ Bravo in our area have to say, even the local dealer is less than 3 miles from when I live, when I bought the bravo, my sales guy told me they sold a lot of 500s, Pandas and GPs, i think we will see more of fiats soon as they starting to deliver to their owners.
