General Goodbye marea hello stilo MW

[trumpeter]

The time has come for a change.
After enjoying over 2 years with my 2.0l marea weekend i've gone out and bought a '55 plate Stilo Multiwagon 1.9JTD to replace it.
It was a good car but drank petrol like a fish.
At least i should be seeing 40 - 50 mpg in the stilo

Spares for the later models are also horrendously expensive (£450 for the rear exhaust, £650 for the front pipe and cat)

Thanks to all for your help and advice over the years.
Hope i don't need so much with the Stilo!!!

I know what you mean about the Marea drinking petrol like it was cheap lager

Stilo MW JTD should give you at least 45 mpg average, loads of space and you're sticking with Fiat

Good luck with your new car.

Well yes but you can get a whole stainless system for it and an aftermarket cat put in for way less than that. Ie £280 for cat back. Still expensive but not as crazy as OEM prices.

Good luck with the MW though.
