I was covering 25,000 miles a year with my Diesel, so even with its frequent servicing, and better economy it was working out worth my while.

But now my milage has dropped back to a more sane @15,000 miles a year, so a diesel really isn't work my while!

within the nxt few week im deciding whether to exchange my 1.9 jtd bravo for a 1.6 16V stilo, as i have had nothing but problems with it. So for all yous with 1.6 stilos could i have ur views on the car and the exchange? also how the hell u display pics on a reply???

Ive posted this and tried a pic of my bravo also under stilo styling,for what reason i dunno!

I tested 1.6 16V and 1.9 JTD (80 HP) and I think JTD is by far better option. 1.6 accelerated a little better (only when you measure it with watch ) but that was it. On the other side I now own 1.9 JTD MW (4 months, 15000 km) and it uses only 5,4 l/100 km compared to 8-9 l/100 km 1.6 used on test. But the worst disappointment was when I tried how 1.6 performed when "climbing" uphill, I had to shift to 4 gear on highway !? With only 2 passengers! So in the end the only bad thing about JTD is that awfully smell of Diesel when you gas it!

p.s.
In our country 1.6 is only 500 EUR cheaper than 80 HP JTD.

Well looks like i've done everything in reverse order. The bank loan is organised, and will be in my account tomorrow.

Off for a test drive hopefully on Saturday, so if all goes well i'll soon be the proud owner of my first Fiat. [8D]

Stilo 1.2 very good car and it gave an excellent perfomance accelarate from 0-100 in 13,7s the 6-gearbox utilize the engine perfect although its a little bit heavy 1.145 but the consuption is so small that you wont regret it buying one especially if its a dynamic.But the engine that shows the real Stilo is the 1.6.

Arranged a test drive for Tomorrow. Need to pop off to the cash point tonight and see if my loan has come through yet!

Excellent. I've no doubt at all that you'll be very impressed.

Right i've had my test drive. I've been a looked a few other makes of car on offer (Fiesta Firefly. i've been a Ford man in the past).

Impressed with the car, but the test drive has sparked a few questions i need answering by the Stilo owners out there!

1. The door bins seem to be discoloured, mainly dark grey (as intended) but with light grey patches. Anyone else encountered this, did a cloth rinced in soapy water clear it! I'm assuming its just some oxydised glue residue or such which should clen off.

2. The door/ignition key! Both keys were attched to each other when i test drove the car and i noted that one key has the 3 remote buttons, (lock, unlock and boot) but the other key did not. Is this correct? Only one key with the remote functions?

I got 2 keys with remote functions.

2002 Stilo 80 Active, no alloys, no power tuning, tinted windows, love the sky window though!

do you reckon they'll bring out a small engined diesel stilo, maybe the 1.25 with a six speed box? it's more than capable in the punto, and with all those gears to choose from there should be enough power to keep moving.

Stilo 1.2 ACTIVE, that's a bit optimistic isn't it?

99 Brava 100 HSX with not enough mods

I only got one remote key, don't know about the door bins.

Only one key with remote here.
I'm guessing you get 2 remote keys if you take the alarm system.

I was going to try to haggle getting the Alarm fitted for nowt, so it might be worth my while if i get 2 keys with buttons!

I'm sure a damp soapy cloth will clean up the door bins. I'll use it as a haggling point anyway!

My Stilo came with 2 keys.... one with the 3 buttons on it.... on without.

Well seeing as this is a car website i feel i can say this (everyone will be over 18)....

Holy Sheeite! I've only gone and bought a Fiat Stilo 1.2! :I

Pick it up next Monday, after they've prepped it! Ended up paying a bit more, by picking a metallic painted one, still i managed to haggle a set of car mats and i'm keeping my trade in's tax disc (worth £140) So all in all i got a good deal!

£7393 with one years Tax, sounds a good deal to me! Piccies will follow the end of next week!

How olds the stilo ?
I got mines from Arnold clark (in Kirkcaldy!) on an 02 plate in August. had 13k miles on it and was £7000 and considering list price for a new dynamic is about £12k it was a massive saving
As for the keys, both of mines have the three buttons on them

Stilo Dynamic 1.6
Sky Blue

Well based on the posts above, i'd say 1.2 has one remote key, 1.6 and above you get two keys with buttons.

Arnold Clark Kirkcaldy were very good, i ended up buying from Arnold Clark Dundee though, just 'cos i'd delt with them in the past though!

1.2 Stilo 3-door, in Sassy Grey for £7788, pre-registered, but with only 30 miles on the clock! Sweet! In the end with my old Ford trade in i've got it down to £7398 with one years tax, oh and i'll be cashing in my old Tax disc so thats woth another £140 off the price! I am bad at haggling but i think i did alright! Got a set of car mats out of the dealer too!

Pick the car up on Monday! Scary biscuits!
