General What is it about the bravo?

[L33 HCX]

Hiya folks.

Just a question i've come up with since first owning my original bravo and just getting my 2001 1.2sx replacement, and reading across the forums. I have friends with various different nice, modern cars, but none of them seem to have the same attachment and 'slight' obsession like i have and have seen other people with across this forum.

The mear mention of having to give her up in the future, for a newer car triggers a self defence mechanism of wild excuses! haha

So i thought i'd put it out there as to just what it is about the bravo/a that does it for you?

I'll start the ball rolling by complimenting the quality of the interior compared to anything its age and the ripe old door shut test, sounds quality! The easiest one being the front corner view at night with lights on, especially xenon HIDS and not so obvious one being how you can see the back end curves when looking in the wing mirrors.

And on a side note, the only modern car that I think compares to it looks wise in the same category, is the vw scirocco!

Looking forward to hearing your comments

Like something of a concord! haha
Excuse me for jacking my own post.

This is nothing to do with the Bravo. This is the difference between a normal person and a petrol head. You value your car far more than the average person, who sees it as a white good that gets them A to B.

sad to say, but I think the Same, have had 1x Punto 2x Bravos and 5x Marea Weekends 20V. they are addictive,

always found my self wanting another Fiat. Ive driven cars from the Samew period as my Bravo (Saxo VTS, Pug 106GTI, 206, Clio) and none are as good as allounders as the Bravo.

i am planning a break from Fiat next year to Volvo S60 t5 to R but no doubt will be in my Little Fiat soon, might even keep the Marea for Weekends​

Kind of the perfect package for me at the time. The versatility was something else (comfort of leather seats in a van that could outhandle almost anything on the road). As times went on, I had to go diesel....

I do miss the obnoxiousness of my van
