Hi:
I am new to the forum and to Fiats.
I have just taken the plunge, and bought a new (well somewhat new)Stilo. Actually it is a 2002 (52 reg) Active 1.6 with aircon that only has 30 miles on it. Apparently, there are quite a few about that were just never sold and are at Fiat's storage area. Maybe that is just a line from the delaer. I don't know. I feel I got a good deal, on what is basically a brand new car. I bought it from a dealer in Slough, and made sure to purchase 2 more years of warranty, thus giving me about 3.5 years of warranty. Hopefully, I have not made a huge mistake. But, I have been reading about the Stilo in the past few weeks, and it seems to be a misunderstood car that is worthy of more respect than it is given, but it has some issues.
So, I ask, is there anything I should watch out for, or ask the dealer to check (ie, service bulletin/recall fixes that should have been done) before I pick it up.
Many thanks for any assistance.
