General Cheeky fifth gear idiots!

[SLOVAC]

Even here in SA we think 5th Gear stinks :yuck: The presenters have no clue what they are talking about, and Tiff just rubs me up the wrong way...

.... and from searching the net, SA seems the only place you can get a sensible unbiased view of the Stilo.

I just looked on fifth gears site and the review is different to the one you got

http://fifthgear.five.tv/jsp/5gmain.jsp?lnk=201&make=Fiat&mk=&model=846&go.x=8&go.y=19

That one makes me laugh as well under best models it says 1.6 active and then under worst models says 1.6 16v

hmmm, i tend to agree with the stodgy handling. i get a lot of slide and loose ahndling round corners in the stilo... I'm hoping that when i get it lowered/ new wheels that will correct the issue...
but other than that, it's still one of the nicest looking hatches on the market..

Got to be something wrong there.

I drive the 5 door with the softer suspension and it's very sure footed - as long as you keep your foot off the middle peddle and on the right-hand one.

Have you perhaps got a tyre wear issue too?

A strut brace will of more benefit!

 

[Seraph]

Well, i'm certainly thinking of the strut brace, found a nice momo one that would look the dogs... with the handling, I have no tyre wear hardly, i do have a minor tracking issue but nothing major, and still the back end slides like a bitch...

[edit] Oh and I don't use that middle pedal... [/edit]

Motoring shows generally dont like any car unless its got 300bhp+ and you can powerslide it around the twisty bits of a race track, while squeeling like a little pig :shakehead

out of date??? guess they not seen the almost identical to last version Focus...

I feel Vicky BH would rub me the right way

Interesting how the Megane gets 3 stars as well, and yet.....

Quick Summary
Highly Recommended. The Megane's looks will attract a younger audience - a little extreme for some perhaps but, as a package, a very enjoyable car
