General Bravo T-Jet- Active, Sport or Dynamic?

[Chris Stefani]

Hey guys.

I've been looking around at 2007-on Bravos recently. The variant that takes my fancy most is the 1.4 T-jet 150PS.

So far I have tried out a 2009 1.4 T-Jet 150 Active. A nice car to drive, far more perky than any 1.4 I've driven before, but I found the drivers' seat too hard for my liking, especially the seat back - I felt I could do with lumbar adjustment. Another offputting item was the steering wheel which was peeling. The stereo didn't seem to be MP3 compatible which wouldn't suit me since most of my albums are on MP3 discs now, or stored to flash drives.

I am hoping to have a look at a Dynamic model which has a few more of the "boys toys". But I keep coming back to the Sport spec, mainly for it's looks - especially in Maserati Blue

So what can I expect to find on each trim level?

And how can I be sure the model I am looking at is definitely a 150PS version? I spotted an ID decal in the drivers door shut of the Active model I drove, but assuming that decal was missing what are the telltales between different variants?

Cheers in advance.

A key tell tail sign its a 150 is just below the side repeaters there should be a '150T' badge

Now the key differences between the three trim levels

Active - No frills, looks standard comes with AC
Dynamic - more nice stuff on it, comes with dual zone climate control
Sport - Bit better spec than the active but is lowered/stiffer suspension, skirts, spoiler, sport seats.

Im sure there are other key differences but i cant think of much at the moment. Best thing to do is to check out some different spec ones and see what your happy with.

Hi.

Thanks for the response.

Dynamic is the spec I have decided to go for. I figured it's easier to add the sport looks to a dynamic, than it is to add the dynamic gadgets to a sport!

I pick my new car up on 10th November, it's a 2008 "08" Bravo 1.4 T-jet (150) dynamic in black, it has 17" fiat alloys, dual zone climate, Blue & Me, all-round electric windows, cruise control, and probably more that I can't think of.

Rather looking forward to picking up my new purchase. I personally think it looks classy in black with the chrome trims.
