Hot!

Just to update the list...

I'm now on bug #6 , with a spare bug on the drive, all my previous bugs have gone to good homes. I wouldn't put a good bug down
At the mo, enjoying a fortnights break down the Algarve, wiv 'our kid', after he did his spell of driving he changed his mind about the bug, he now thinks it's a good 'un.
Cheers everyone, keep the bugs alive

The day Hellgium allows engine swaps, or Fiat provides the necessary paperwork for it to happen, I'm getting one!
The range of engines and the fact most of them are rundown by now holds me back.

But with a 20v turbo in it? Give me that ugly duckling and take my 2016 Doblo!

What was actually the thought/the purpose behind the Multipla look ?
No offence, but from all Fiat cars, this one i dislike the most - because of the mutated appearance

The design is inspired by the shape of a pregnant woman, at least that's what's been told to me and I get it.

I'm sorry for the 28 guys who voted "cool" . I think it's the worlds most ugliest car ever designed.
I would not drive such a vehicle, even if they gave me one. :yuck:

There are a few cars with iconic names, the Beetle, the Ugly Duck (2CV) on this list is the Multipla for all the wrong reasons. In the Netherlands many referred to this car as "the forbidden M word"
Says it all really,.. Fiat is and especially was known for it's true iconic designs, many of the classic cars being designed by a few designers that quickly went down into history as some of the ultimate car designers. Many other car companies often borrowed these designers to help design their cars.
But I don't know what Fiat was thinking with the Multipla??? I totally understand it's functional aspects but that seems to be it's only primary focus.

certainly are marmite cars, you either love them or hate them.. would love one myself. Seems more people hate them than love them but that just makes me want one more lol.

<3 haters

I like them!

I had 2 multipla's, both with the old nose (one with the fridge).
They were the best.

All the more reason to get one anyway!!!

Uglier the better

I agree. The more unique any product is, the more reason I find to justify its purchase. I recently bought an electric guitar made out of a tennis racket.

Personally I think look of the ugly multipla is more interesting over the look of the face lift. The facelift looks so bland and like every other mpv.
Then again I don't really care what it looks like, it's just so useful.

It's a really interesting car cause it's different...I don't like it cause I like cars more curved but everybody has an opinion

Could never own one of these, love Fiat but no idea what they was thinking when designing this one.

Brilliant cars - back in the day, round here they were used by a firm of air con installers as I assume it meant they could park in city centre multi-storey car parks but still fit everything in!

Nearly bought one myself back then, but as they were still quite new I just couldn't afford it, and didn't have any love for Fiats again until my 1st Panda 4x4, which sadly had to go, though I've still got a Panda, but soon, another 4x4 to replace it on the way!

It's the bland facelift version I can't stand

How can anyone say these fantastic motors are 'uncool'?
Fast? Fast enough to lose ya license...
Practical and versatile? One of the best...
Different? - A redeeming factor for sure...
Quirky - ok, I'll give you that one...
Ugly? That's a personal thing, I can spot mine in a parking lot cos it dares to be different and not the same shape car with a different badge to the shed next door.
(How many times have you had to read the badge or the arse end of a car to know what you're looking at?)
Even Clarkson had good things to say about them - yeah, ok, they really could use a 2 litre petrol engine and a 6 speed box, but come on, they are so versatile they're the Swiss knife of the car world.
Whip the rear seats out and you've got a bloody good van, add an hook and it'll pull any caravan or boat - I've done it and had no hassles.
How many motors have you owned with twin sun roofs AND aircon?
It's no more difficult to work on than most cars today and a lot easier than most. Servicing is just as ****ty as any other shed and the lack of it just as expensive.
Parts via Fiat are eye-wateringly expensive, but thankfully there are plenty of after market suppliers at reasonable prices.
Am I biased? I don't think so, I've only owned 6 of them so maybe I'm not experienced enough to know any better.
My last 5 have been diesel and they've been reasonably good economy wise.
(I don't agree with all the bull**** being banded around about diesel and global warming, look at the iceage/ heatwave history before believing the lying politicians, that shiney arsed lot love to jump on some idiots band-wagon cos they can't think for themselves.
Anyway, UGLY BUGS ARE WELL COOL
Nuff sed.

Cool. Groundbreaking, but unloved.

One of the greatest; and the first ‘ugly’ iteration will one day be a sought-after classic.
