Hi, I have owned Fiats for years and I instantly fell in love with the 3 door Stilo when it was launched. Ideally, I'd have liked an Abarth but it was out of my budget. Anyway, I went down to my local Fiat dealer and after a test drive I decided that I'd buy the Active Sport model. The dealership wouldn't budge from the £11600 list price, wether I paid cash, cheque or as the saleman put it Greenshield stamps and they only offered me £1200 part exchange on my four year old Brava. So I surfed the internet and ended up buying one from Jamjar, exact same car, brand new, delivered to me in two weeks for, wait for it..................£8995! I have now owned this car for four months and covered 5000 miles, ok the spare wheel was missing and the 12v socket in the boot wasn't there, but Fiat instantly gave me a spare wheel and compensated me for the 12v socket not being there, to the tune of £125, this was all done through the dealership which wouldn't give me a deal in the first place which made it all the better! It has been a superb purchase, no rattles, no shakes, fantastic build quality, anyone who critisizes these cars should get out there and test drive one instead of being sucked in to the Golf/Focus clone mould that roam our streets. Ok, residuals are poor, but who gives a s**t? You get a well built, well equipped, good looking motor and people stop to look at you in the street. Don't be a sheep following the Ford Focus herd. I love the fact that where I work, there is only 1 Stilo in the car park out of 1200 motors and it's mine. I have added 17 inch alloys and it looks sublime. Any one doubting the quality of this car, take it from me, get out there and buy one!
