I bought my Lichen Green Brava 80 Formula in February with 12 k on the clock (ex Kenning hire car) from my local FIAT main dealer for £7495 minus the trade in price of my Imola Blue Cinq Sporting which they gave me £2200 for).
It is now due for it's 24k servive and as well as the service costing £175 at Hylton Worcester I have asked them to fix the following under the terms of the extended warranty:

Blocked washer jet[!]
Broken drivers door stay[!]
Intermittant loss of horn[!]

The other fault i have had was the drivers door rubbing strip coming off - this took CCL in Cheltenham TWO MONTHS to get a replacement[!][!][!]

When I bought another FIAT after 5 years of Cinq ownership I should have expected some quality issues but the above list does not make for good reading - does it!?

Having said that the styling and performance and practicality of the car is excellent.

that's not too bad really, at least it's mechanicaly sound, washer jet isn't anything to get worried. the car may have been repaired on the door where the rubbing strip came off

99 Brava 100 HSX with not enough mods

That's not really bad at all.

I'd be more concerned at what you paid for the car. £7495 minus trade in for a Brava?

Replacement parts through dealers can take a while for out of production cars.

*Scratches head*. Maybe I better not tell you how much I paid for mine then but it was a lot less and got a few extras! I also think you were ripped off for the service but never mind... I have also had horn problems (but still good enough to pass first MOT so ok there) and the door strip is coming off - after 12k. Just to make it worse, there's a paint chip on the roof and they've said it's too big to touch up and the whole roof needs respraying aggggghhhhhhhh. But all in all it's a nice wee car and will be even nicer once it's souped up a bit .
