this stilo is the first car i've owned with a 6 speed box and i can understand why fiat fitted it to the 1.2 and 1.4 models. The Stilo is a big heavy car and the smaller engined cars with lower torque engines need extra help in moving it.
But the 1.6, 1.8 , Abarths and Diesels could have fitted the same amount of gears in those cars and helped their mpg and/or acceleration or top speeds. Obviously, different clutch bell housings and ratios for each car but it would be unique to have a range of cars with a 6 speed gear box as standard.
Stilo Abarth 6 Speed !
1.6 with better top speed and mpg
1.8 more performance
1.9 tdi higher speed
Did fiat miss a trick here?
