General Wanting another multipla

[gazzauk]

Hi, i traded in my multipla 2 yrs ago for a vauxhall insignia which has turned out to be a total disaster as the car is a total piece of junk but not quite as disappointing as Lookers Vauxhall who sold it to me and refuses to honour warranty claims, but im not bitter about it honest. I now am thinking of buying a new multipla but would like to know the following
1. Are the electrics any better than they used to be ?
2. Are fiat bringing out a new version any time soon?
3. Has anybody had experience of buying from the "Fiatsupersaver" web site
4. Are they still (as i found with the 2001 diesel i had anyway) mechanically pretty reliable?
5. Have they upped the power on the diesel engine?

Any feedback would be much appriciated.

Unfortunately, Fiat stopped making the Multipla last year. They have no plans to produce a direct replacement (the Cubo and others in their current range apparently fill the same needs, though some may dispute that).

So unless you want to buy used, you're out of luck, though I think there may be a few new ones remaining at dealers around the country. The depreciation on them will be pretty suicidal though - you may be better off letting someone else take the hit for that and search for a mint 1-2 year old car.

Your other questions about later Multiplas are beeter answered by others here - mines an 04 round nose (save me from the square nosed pretenders !)

Got two round nose frogs - its a fiorino replacement not a Frog replacement, bit like a Doblo with a nice attitude. It is by the way a nice bit~0~kit, but a 6 seater with JTD 1900 poke it isn't.
