Hello everybody
I'm probably your newest member and come here with a big problem. I live in Bucharest (RO) , where second hand cars are usually 2000euros over what they'd cost in western europe. I hope to soon have around 4800 euros (via bank loan) to spend on a used car and i hope i can make the right decision.
I've been looking at cars such as the 1996 Opel Astra Caravan , 1996 VW Golf , 1999 Skoda Felicia , 1998 Daewoo Nubira and of course a 1997 Fiat Brava. I'm not here to discuss any of the other models , just the 97 Brava. I figure you guys can shed some light on the issue. Everybody here in romania , that i've asked about the Brava , said that its not a reliable car (they actually warned me to NOT BUY IT!) and that is why its very rare to see one in romania. And its true that you dont really see many Brava's here. What i need to know is if its true , if it really isn't a good buy for a person who's looking for a car (for himself) , that doesn't eat up more than 10l/100km of fuel , and its not expensive to own , and spare parts don't cost too much...in other words reliable! I'm really hoping you can tell me its a good choice because i consider the Fiat Brava to be a BEAUTIFUL car and I'd love it. However i'm not exactly rich enough to afford having my car break down often.
If you could help me and tell me what i need to know about the Brava in all honesty , i will definately appreciate it
Thanks
