Introduction
Here's my new baby
Purchased for the trip to Italy we just got back from

The 159 is a tank (not in a good way).
It's a good choice if you don't mind the quality of its interior and the weight.
Crikey - not asking much for it are you?
my Bravo has a reprieve
unimpressed by the Delta, my fears about interior and performance were confirmed...
Saw a white Giulietta pull into a petrol station yesterday, Cloverleaf model. Really turned my head in a way that they haven't up until now.
Oh - in case of any confusion, I thought you weren't asking enough for your Bravo btw, it wasn't meant as sarcasm in case it came across like that.
Other poor man coupés like the astra, megane or ford just stink so much and are sh*tty mainstream brands, at least the fiat is a little exotic.
Yep I understood, it's easy to believe the crappy low valuations dealers and webuyanycar give you. Then you drive past a used car lot advertise old sheds for £5k and gain a sense of perspective
The Megane, particularly in 3 door GT Line spec is a nice looking car which i'd buy, but I'm currently in a 8.5 year old Stilo. If I already had a Bravo I wouldn't consider a Megane a step-up. The only replacement for a Bravo is something mega expensive like a new A-Class. Or the Giulietta. A Focus & Golf may drive better than the Bravo but the Bravo has a sort of exclusivity about it that's hard to replicate with another mid-size hatch.
I wonder if the valuation sites just see a mid-sized Fiat and value it in line with what they'd have valued a Stilo at. I bought my Stilo JTD at 4 years old & 50,000 miles for £3950 in 2008. You wouldn't get a 4 year old Bravo Multijet with 50,000 miles for anywhere near as little as £3950. The used car market has risen, partly because of scrappage. Plus Fiat's residuals seem to have improved, partly I suspect because of the 500 putting Fiats among people who wouldn't normally look twice at Fiat, but also because whilst still needing improvement, Fiats range as a whole is seen as a more attractive place to put your used car money than it was a few years ago.

Only about 2000 new Bravo's registered since 2009, so don't hold your breath waiting for one!
did't need to wait after all
found the perfect car this morning and I am taking delivery on Friday, which coincidentally happens to be my Birthday :slayer:
Spill the beans, what is it
