Dynamic has B&M standard, dual zone climate control and arm rest with drinks cooler, the arm rest and cooler is not standard on sport. I'll upload a copy of specifications when I'm home (away for Christmas ATM) and it'll show the Dynamic is the top of the range and the Sport a stand alone which is over the Active.

I'll agree that the "armrest" that the Sport supposedly has is nothing like the one in the Dynamic, not sure I'd even class it as one.

The UK specs are listed about half way down here: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/fiat/fiat-bravo-2007-preview-test//?section=prices

If comparing standard Sport against standard Dynamic, but a well kitted out Dynamic can put a sport to shame, luckily there are not many Dynamics out there capable of that

I'd still rather have a Sport to get the more supportive seats and better suspension, however I'm happy enough with my Dynamic - it was too good a deal not to take it!

 

[Matthewr1990]

Yeh my dynamic was a bargain considering how much I got for the money. I'll also add that when I was doing insurance quotes for Sport versions they always came in more expensive. However I suspect it is nothing to do with the model as such, more to do with the fact it says "sport". Insurance company's must love that word. "Oooh it's a sport. Let's add £100 to your premiums". Lmao.

Depends what you define as better suspension, the Dynamic's is a lot more comfortable, depends if you want comfort or road holding, but tbh the Dynamic holds the road well enough IMO.

Oh and the HJ link is the Italian Spec, not UK. Tbh I trust what I see on Wiki more than HJ

Oh and the HJ link is the Italian Spec, not UK.

The UK specs are listed about halfway down the page:

Dynamic:
In addition to the Active specification, Dynamic adds:

* Electric rear windows
* Leather steering wheel
* Blue & Me phone and MP3 player connectivity with steering wheel controls
* Driver’s seat lumbar adjustment
* Dual Zone climate control
* Cruise control
* 16” alloy wheels
* Front armrest
* Bespoke interior trim

Sport:
In addition to the Active specification, Sport adds:

* Leather sports steering wheel, gearknob and handbrake gaiter
* Sport seats
* Driver’s seat lumbar adjustment
* Sport pedals
* 17” alloy wheels
* Sports suspension
* ESP with ASR/MSR, HBA and Hill Holder
* Rear spoiler and sideskirts
* Chrome window strip
* Front armrest
* Cruise control
* Blue & Me phone and MP3 player connectivity with steering wheel controls
* Bespoke interior trim
* Red brake callipers and chrome tailpipe
* Sports instruments

You also get the chrome window strip with the Dynamic so that list is incorrect on that point.

Way to ruin someone's thread, great job guys.

Your bickering is all for nothing because there's no real top range in the UK, only base models for reference on top of which you can add options.

And as I said before, the real top range bravo was never available in the UK. In some countries you do not get to choose options, that's where there is a real order in the different names. And the top model is called Emotion.

EDIT: to put an end to all this, here's the order by price: active, dynamic/sport, emotion.

 

[neilshep]

In the UK the model range went from Active, Active sport, Dynamic and then Sport.

Whilst the Dynamic may have had more creature comforts like climate control as standard the Sport was considered the top of the range model, with the Active as the bottom of the range.

You've omitted the basic 90hp petrol without aircon, which was just plain "Bravo", rather than "Bravo Active" etc.

One might argue the "Active" is the best model, as it doesn't have the flaky Blue and Me, or fragile Climate Control

 

[tomharrison]

That's how it's laid out in the handbook, doesn't mean it's going in range order with top of the range being last, that's what Fiat have always done, be it a Punto or Panda or Stilo.

Dynamic is always top spec, unless there is the Eleganza model in the range, but the Bravo never had that for some reason, and the Sport is always last listed at the back as its on it's own, for being better than an Active, but not as good as a Dynamic.

You only have to look through the standard spec list and pricing to know what is the top of the range, and it's always will be the one with the most standard kit, which is the Dynamic. Sport is for looks and road holding, and nothing else. It's basically an Active with a body kit and different engine options when you compaire version specifications.

you having laugh, the sport is the top model, end of story, don't go into some deep story of facts and figures, your not throwing anyone off, every post you make is either pessimistic or wrong, do everyone a favour and stop making yourself look like a fool

 

[ozzy1993]

this will probably help. The official uk spec

(cant post links but anyway) google "fiat bravo standard equipment"
2nd link down called "MODEL RANGE AND EQUIPMENT - Press - Fiat Group Automobiles ..."

-I have a tjet 150 which did not come with a front arm rest

Care to prove your point with official Fiat literature?!

I can and will in good time, if you can't then get off your high horse. I've literature advising of spec on the original and revised Bravo line up, both confirming the Dynamic has a higher level of equipment than the Sport.

The Dynamic has the higher spec equipment wise, not by much but it still does, the Sport more trim for looks, ESP and a different suspension for a sporty handling.

In the mean time until I'm able to post the literature you might fancy doing as ozzy1993 has advised.

Eibach lowering springs! The 30mm ones. A fantastic mod that makes the bravo so much more direct to drive with only minimal change to ride quality

Sorry to bring this back on topic, but pair these with the proper dampers too. Them and a tasty set of wheels and you'll have a cracking looking car.

Eventually I plan to get better adjustable dampers, but for now I'm happy with it.and it's so hard to find good aftermarket wheels for a bravo!

 

[Matthewr1990]

I think any after market wheels are hideous anyway, fiat designed all their wheels to complement the bravo. I've not seen one set that looks right on the Bravo. I like my dynamic 16's. And the two colour sport ones are attractive. But nothing beats the 18' sets. You lay out of your ears for them however. Maybe finding a similar aftermarket version of those would be the best?

 

[zooooom]

lower the car a little, l.e.d lights, wrap or spray the black plastics on the exterior, tinted windows, some people like to put abarth badges on sports, wind deflectors,

i like cars to look like they were modded at the factory, not halfords lol

is there any cars that have been modded nicely in the members motors? there's a lot of pictures of standard bravos.

 

[zooooom]

these bravos look good

[RobW]

if you like luxury buy the bits off a dynamic - 16" fork alloys, chrome door handles etc

if you like sport style and handling buy the bits off a sport - 17" dual tone alloys, skirts and spoiler, lower suspension

ok?

 

[decypha77]

No it isn't. It's the Dynamic in the UK. The sport is an Active with just a body kit and rougher suspension. It's the Dynamic that has the toys and higher specification.

Granted I don't know how it is in the UK but the Sport is certainly not an Active with bits and bobs.

The dynamic is a model meant more for comfort, the sport is for just that so it eschews some of the dynamic's comfort for performance. It has an option to switch off traction control and the Sport button which remaps the engine for slightly more acceleration and throttle response.

In RSA the Sport was a bit more expensive than the Dynamic from new.

[Tad-bravo]

stop discussing what model is higher spec. You have to realize those names mean different things in different countries.

In most countries my spec doesn't even exist.

 

[lyubohar]

Plus, everyone knows Tad's model is the highest spec!
