The last time I saw a Croma was 6 months ago. Where are they all?? Still hiding in storage some where? Of the owners here and the amount of Croma's for sale on Piston Heads, Exchange and Mart, Autotrader, Ebay, there is a least still another 1200+ plus out there. Anybody seen them??

Had mine nine months and in that time I have only seen two others on the road. As I travel a lot mine spends most of the time in airport car parks!

I suspect that a lot of them are coming to the end of their 3 year warranty and end of company car life, so more will appear on the used car market shortly...

Ours parked outside and saw one near Yarm on Sunday.

Mine's been doing 20,000 miles in the last eleven months on the A17, A16 and A52 so it's not hiding. I've seen two others in that time, a silver one and a dark grey one. I reckon Fiat are hiding them somewhere because they're ashamed of them and they're worth so little

Or it could be that they don't exactly stand out from other cars so you don't register them...wonder if that works for speed cameras :chin:

As a newbie to the forum I've had my 150 Eleganza for about 10mths now and I'm based in Cardiff. I see 2 other Croma's in the area regularly and also travel to Bristol alot where there's a large taxi firm that has a few in their fleet.

Well there were only 1100 right hand drive models sold in the UK to start with, and the majority of them were registered by Fiat or dealers as demo cars. Very few were actually ordered by punters.

So far I have only ever seen 5 (6 if you include mine):

A 150 bhp Dynamic running as a demo for GMD FIAT in Chester-le-Street (Near Durham)

A 150 bhp Eleganza running as a demo car for Gainmanor in North Tyneside

A privately run 1.8 petrol Dynamic in Gateshead

In addition I have seen one on a dealer forecourt in Keswick and another running around Worksop in Nottinghamshire.

I saw one advertised recently by a Welsh dealer still unregistered with only 27 miles on the clock (although car is now 2 1/2 years old - how does the warranty work on that?)

Radlet6 - where abouts in the north east are you from?

I've seen a few Croma's but only 1 that i have passed a few times in the north east that was heading north up the m1 near durham while we where going south.

Hi Bunny

Mackem land,

I've had my 1.9JTD Dynamic for 2 weeks now, I have seen two others since in Birmingham. When people ask what car I have, and I say Fiat Croma, they always say 'what..never heard of it'. At least I can find it in the car park.

We have just got our croma (3 weeks ago) and by the sounds of this post are in the most densley populated area, the North East. We live near Darlington and on Saturday I saw a dark croma at the traffic lights near the Asda heading out of Darlo towards Stockton, come on own up who was it.

We have a silver 06 plater.

There are about 20 in Bristol as Taxis

and I've seen a couple of private ones as well around here.

Took mine to Stockton Wentane for a service and there were another two parked together on the forecourt. I should have taken a photo.

Just a thought, if they had made an estate/mw like the stilo i think fiat might have sold more. I have a stilo mw and what do fiat make that i can replace it with.

NOWT.

Errrrmmmm how about, now let's see, a Croma? It's actually bigger that the Stilo estate - so how much bigger do you want?

My 55 plate Prestigio resides in Kent. I have not seen another one in the county, come to think of it I have driven it to Denmark twice and did not see another one during entire trans-european adventure.

According to the Daily Telegraph today only one new Croma was registered in the UK in 2008 - must have been lurking at the back of some dealer's showroom!

There was someone advertising LHD models, not the best line obviously.

I saw one today, actually looked rather posh.

Hi, guys
I think the vast majority of Cromas are here in the Harrogate / Knaresborough area . I own one myself and have seen at least 3 others - 2 dark blue and one silver. I even had the rather unusual experience of being in an impromptu convoy of 3 dark blue Cromas...
