Hello,
In Italy for work for a long time and selected the Stilo Stationwagon 1.9 JTD as it was cheaper on the lease than the 4door version. The front of the Stilo if very attractive but the back has a little to be desired. All in all I would give the Stilo a 8.5 out of 10. The first Stilo I drove for 15,000 km and no troubles and ran like a top. This one I've put almost 1,000 km on it and am very happy with it. It is the Dynamic version with Aluminum wheels and climate control with the floor mats and etc. I took it to a friend and he remapped the ecu from 115hp to 126hp and @ 150 km an hour, it consumes about the same fuel and is more responsive.
Just thought I'd post my comments about the Sitlo as I know at first it had alot of problems. But after a couple of years, seems like the problems have been resolved.
Of course this was the same situation for the American auto manufactures about 15 years ago. Improve or go bankrupt. Some of them did. Also maybe with GM having a percentage of FIAT, this may also have an impact on their products.
Enjoy your Stilo,
