Hi, I just bought a 1.6 dynamic 5dr 2002 65k miles, now i've only had it for less than a week and its the best Fiat i've had so far if not the best car i've ever driven. I cant believe how little it cost me and what a great car i've got. A rusty focus, golf astra would have cost me far more and got less.
I read some bad reviews about them which almost put me off but then people only ever say when something goes wrong, i know fiats have niggly problems but are usually very reliable.
I've only ever had Fiats first a 1.2 Punto 75 when I started driving then a Coupe 20v Turbo, now that i'm approaching 30s i needed something more grown up so now the Stilo! ...Much more refined, 1.6 engine is excellent, gear change super smooth, ride very comfy i love it!! It's surprisingly quick and clean off the line too and thats coming from a 20V turbo driver!! I've driven the focus and astra, which are way over rated. The only thing I prefer was the driving position in the focus, Stilo 5dr driving position feels a bit high and MPV like compared to focus but the 3dr Stilo is more sporty i believe.
Ok ill admit there are one or two minor electrical probs to be sorted, drivers door mirror heated function, CD changer and trip computer. But i can probably sort them in a weekend.
One happy Stilo driver.
