General New member and getting my Multi tommorow!

[Tonker]

Hello all

I'm new to this forum and apart from my Tipo, Fiat aswell. In short after our third child my wife, who said she would never have a Multi dragged me into the Fiat garage Gateshead and made me sign up for an 06 model which i'm picking up tommorow.

Ive tried for mats etc, but what else should i be looking at before i sign on the dotted line? Does a Fiat warranty include parts/servicing etc? Have already paid the £150 for extra reversing sensors(long story)

Anyway look forward to seeing you all out on the road, the wife likes a flash!!

A spare set of handbrake cables to keep in the boot- these cars eat them or the dealers like to sting you for them. I've had two pairs in three years of ownership, my other car is now12 years old and had it's original pair replaces last year!!!

Well have only had my Multi a few days and am very happy with it. Only niggles are that the handbook was in Italian, and the cd player wouldn't play or return my cd.

This is my first virtually new car and i have yet to find a negative side to it. Even though mines the facelifted version i'm sure i've seen a few smiles and sniggers. Ironic really as i watched 1 family try and fit 5 people into a 4 1/2 seat car. He who laughs last laughs.............

If me and boyfriend have kids then i would want a multi

I have always thought they are ugly as hell but when i sat in one when we were getting the New Panda I loved the inside of it. Really practical

Glad you like your Multi as we do.

It's surprising how many sniggers change into 'Ooooo!'s when you get them as passengers!
Especially when you drop the front middle seat down so that those in the back see how much room there really is!

Have fun!

Until i get my log book in English, can anyone confirm that the wipers don't wipe when i put spray washer fluid on the window?

Correct!
On my SX100 Petrol version you can squirt all you want, but it will only wipe when you ask it to.

I am taking delivery of my brand new multi on wednesday. It's the 1.9 Eleganza in crossover black with dark tints and bluetooth. Can't wait. Can anyone tell me if the Fiat dealer s i am buying from have a good reputation as i bought the car through a brokers off the net and got a fantastic reduction. The dealer is Pewsham Fiat, Chippenham.
