I know there seems to be more complaints than praises (although people only tend to post when they have something to complain about), but what made you pick the Stilo, and what other cars were you considering?
Although it sounds like a "step down the ladder", at the time I was actually considering a BMW 3-Series or Jaguar X-type until I noticed a massive picture of the 3 door Stilo Abarth at my local Fiat garage. I'd only ever seen the 5 door and thought it looked hideous, but the 3 door was strangely enticing….
I called in the garage and sat in the car and was instantly impressed with the level of standard equipment. But as soon as the salesman started talking and asking it to phone people and change radio stations I was gagging for a test drive. Needless to say, the rest is history.
Although the residuals will be lower than the others, it’s the fact I paid £7K less for more car which pleased me the most. It’s just a pity that the build quality can be a little suspicious.
