General Bit The Bullet..Got Myself A Bravo
Nor me, unintentionaly. And I've driven small diesel engined cars right up to (what was) Class 2 HGVs and plant vehicles over 30-odd years.
I've only ever stalled my 150 T-Jet once.
Experience!
Don't worry, it'll come....eventualy.
I've stalled mine a couple of times - I have had it well over 2 years though!
Like i said, my first ever diesel and wasn't used to the clutch never mind the power lol.
Its a big step up from my 1.2 fiesta!
...on another note...ive not stalled it since the first couple of hours
And dont diesels make one hell of a bang when they do stall............not that ive ever stalled mine
warranty transfer is only needed for the 3rd year claims, when i worked for fiat we used to charge £27.
As for reliability mechanically it should be fine but little niggles with trim rattles and knocks here and there are common.
Ive got a knock from the suspension when its wet and a creek from the steering.
I also get a slight ticking from a cold start sometimes which is normal ive been told by fiat and it usually lasts for 30 secs or so... warm up period i guess?
Has yours been serviced as their due every year or 18,000 miles whichever occurs first.

Yeah its been serviced...Only had done 14,900 on it when I picked it up
So far im quite impressed with the bravo, it drove in 7" snow from work (Orange in South Yorkshire) very well compared to other cars...My only miss from my fiesta is the front heated screen

Nice to know there's another bravo owner in my neck of the woods. I also picked my used bravo up from the car people in Sheffield few days before Christmas. Maybe I'll see you driving around
