i've nothing against the stilo, in fact i'd like a 3 door in silver. Just, they could've made the interior a bit less "base spec Golf" and a little bit more Alfa-ish, you shouldn't have to buy an Abarth to get a decent dashboard!
You don't have to buy an Abarth to get a decent dashboard, I've got a 1.9JTD Dynamic with ConnectNav + and its looks gorgeous!! Leather interior to match!
I think that u need another option, the 3 door and 5 doors are not even close to each other, the 3 door in the broom yellow (only decent colour) looks the biz, oh and thats the one i have [^]
It's not supposed to be radical, just stylish, well built and practical. You are getting a good motor, remember underneath that chunky good looking shell (3 door only) you are basically getting an Alfa 147, same chassis and running gear, pity they coudn't use the same damned engines though! Anyway, how in demand are they? Put them side by side and you can tell they are stable-mates, yet the Alfa gets all the kudos and the FIAT gets slated. This country and badges, will it ever change, pepole are so fickle!
I'm quite partial to the Metallic Scilla Red my self. As for the looks of the Stilo... I love them. I have started seeing heads turn when I'm driving past and people stopping on the street when I'm parked up... and I've just got a 1.2 16v Active.
I was really happy with my Punto Mia, but the Stilo just blows it away.
