Well... its not sunny today, its pretty grim!

Howdy all.....

I am eyeing up a 2010 Bravo 165 Derv...

I do 25k a year so my first choice of car, an Alfa 159 is pointless as the value will fall out even quicker...

So,

2010
47K
Metallic Black
Leather
Climate
18s
Rear tints

5490....

Seems cheap enough and its HPI clear.

What are the things i should be looking out for with the Bravo's?

What improvements can be made, looking at online reviews, body roll can be an issue.

Cheers All!

Welcome to the forum. Most problems with diesel Bravos are from poor servicing or not servicing as it is described in the service book, some of the problems with egr or mass airflow sensor due to low quality diesel or not driving the car the way it was meant .Driving a diesel on short routes. There were reported problems with gearbox and clutches but I think they were more or less related to guys upgrading the firmware remaping of the car to produce more power and the gearbox was not designed for that and could not handle excessive power.Most normal cars are very reliable and by German tests Fiat Bravo is 7th most reliable car.
