General Thinking about a 2008 Fiorino, please share your knowledge!

[Dkc1984]

Hi all

Just joined as I am looking at a Fiorino for my business van. Can anyone tell me anything about them. I am 6ft 3" with size 10's so a little concerned things might be a little cramped.

Also I would be looking to fit some alloy wheels to it, do 500 wheels fit or any other genuine Fiat wheels? I can't seem to find out much about offsets and stud diametres etc.

Anything else I should know?

Thanks!

Not many "new" Fiorino owners here.
Better ask this in the "General Tech" section elsewhere on this Forum...

Iam 5.10 and is just comfortable.Usually i like to be comfy on the wheel.My 2008 Fiorino seat is pushed all the way back to fit me.Dont know about you.Maybe yes 40% maybe not 60%.I would guess probably not.To be sure have a test drive.

I had a 2008 fiorino a year ago and it was a comfy van. only issue was if you carry passengers the passenger seat has no back adjustment. I put 2 punto sporting seats in mine, i never tried alloys on it as there hi off the ground. They are a little bouncy on a long run as they have a hard suspension, but i got used to it although i know some one who fitted coilovers off a fiat 500 so they could soften the suspension. Your best bet is to test drive one and take it for a good run. M y ony issue was the passenger seat, appart from that i loved it, averaged 58mpg............im sure i will be back in one soon again

Had it for a couple of weeks now, and think its great. But yes the ride is a little bouncy, may look at getting that sorted. If you know of a cheap way of doing so then let me know!

Want to get it carpet lined too, its a bit noisey at speed. Megavanmats looks like the place to go although i am rubbish at that sort of thing!
