Bravo new user

[Antony Brown]

Hello
im new to the forum, and a new user of the fiat brand of motoring solutions, i have to say that my parents have owned many fiats from the uno and palio's as well as the punto's... and never have they gone wrong. i decided to do both a upgrade and a risk when i saw a 2008 fiat bravo 1,4 t-jet sport 150 hp about a month ago at the local dealer.... i have always loved the shape and amazing quality at which this car was made, since they came into production i was completly inlove.... i will say that even with a 150 000km on the clock there is no rattles or noices and it is as tight as a drum.... i look forward to spending time on the forum and getting to know the other users.

Many Kind Regards
Antony

Welcome to the forum Antony

Have to admit to being a fan of the Bravo myself, though it is a little too big (and too new ) for my tastes

Get a thread up in Member's Motors and let's some pictures

150 000 km! that's a lot! good to know she's still in good shape after all that.

Considering I have 32k miles on mine and it rattles and squeaks like mad!

EDIT: Then again I do thrash mine a lot.

pretty much have to shift up at a minium of 3k to get the car to move, may have to invest in an Mjet next year

I have found this as well! My suspension seems to knock a bit going over bumps but only when it rains!

Hi Anthony

I got my tjet sport last week. Im also from S.A.
You replaced the turbo already? Why was it done as mine got 108000 km's
on the clock and want to spend as little as possible on engine problems. Mine also grey. Very nice little car.
