None, we had several competitors cars to compare the cars to and to be perfectly honest the bravo blitzed them all, we were very impressed. The car is very solidly built, is very stable, much quieter than Stilo and had no rattles, squeaks etc. Brakes are very good without grabbing etc. The cars had not been pdi'd and had been transported to the venue so most of the cars had only a couple of miles on the clock. The interior is very smart and not at all dull. The engines are very good, and the whole cabin feels very well built. The car has been very well thought through and sound proofing is high on the list of Fiats priorities. Highly recommended! Just going to see if I can get one!
What are the new turbo petrol engines like?
Troy.
1.9 16 valve 150 bhp.
semi independant beam at the rear.
Lane change indicators fitted to all models (tap indicator stalk and the flashers flash three times for motorway lane changes and overtaking).
Cornering lighting is included with all models with front fogs, this switches on the corresponding fog light when headlights are on dip beam and vehicle is travelling below 25 mph.
apparently they lack torque and need to be driven hard
Semi-independent? Isn't that a step back from the fully independent trailing arms on my Tipo and Marea?
apparently they lack torque and need to be driven hard. the reviews dont make them sound very promising. a turbo has never been a good alternative to extra capacity so this was half expected, but i'm still disappointed.
the turbo diesel gets much better reviews. given the choice i think this would be a more sensible option.
The suspension setup is carried over from the Stilo apparently.
I don't want a Fiat with a ultra narrow power band and that sounds like a tractor. The diesels just don't have sporty feel (or power delivery).
Have you driven a Fiat diesel? Ever since the Tipo TD SX they have always been sporty. The power band may well be narrow but the torque band is huge. Petrols only have power high up in revs and are usually gutless below 2000rpm.
