General Ordered

I hope these are a big seller for fiat,the stilo was well underrated.Its good to see some advetising on tv at last.
 
Hi there, yep I'm picking up my 1.3 diesel Easy Plus on Thursday. I'm moving over from a 500L twin-air and I'm hoping to get more than the 36mpg I currently get!

Panda :D

Panda ..6months old. 6,000 miles. 4,700 quid
a year later was worth5,500 as fiat upped new prices once the car was an established seller. May well happen with the tipo..if FIAT have got it 'right'
 
Here is a picture of the new tipo

Me too!

I've put in a factory order with a few extras:

  • 1.6 Multijet diesel Lounge
  • Elba Blue
  • Comfort pack - leather seats, heated seats
  • Safety pack - adaptive cruise control, speed limiter, full brake control
  • Height adjustable passenger seat
  • Full size spare wheel - not having another of those useless fix'n'go affairs again!
I'll post a pic when it arrives. Excited isn't the word!
 
I'm looking at ordering the 1.4 Tipo petrol. I looked at the 4 door but it is a bit big for my drive and I think the hatch will be more practical.

Had a good look, one thing that seems positive (for my alpine salty roads) are plastic covers for the underside but they don't extend over the spare wheel/rear end which doesn't look well protected. I assume the steel is galvanized?

Where does the 1.4 95bhp engine come from? I assume it is some tried and trusted Fiat unit.

The 1.4 has been knocking around for years with Fiat in various forms, one of the FIRE engines. It's the basis of the T-Jet, was in the old Bravo, slightly tuned for the Panda 100.

I would imagine it would be gutless for this car and probably best avoided.

The 1.6 e-torq is also quite an old engine that started off life as a joint project between Chrysler and BMW and used in the very early mini coopers.

I wouldn't particularly want the 1.4 16v 95bhp engine in a car the size of a Tipo myself either, but it seems to have sold pretty well in the 500L, so it can't be too shabby for its size.

The engines to go for are the T-Jet 120 or the diesels, particularly 1.6, if performance is your priority (relatively speaking of course). The 1.4 16v and 1.6 e-torq are there to achieve the price point for people who aren't bothered, I think.

Not a diesel, they will ban them from French cities (where I live), I don't want a car I can't use in 5 years. I already have a 1999 motobike I can't use in town coz it is banned.

I will try the 95bhp petrol next week, I'd imagine it is ok for sitting in traffic jams :) or crawling along at 10 mph - which is my daily commute. I don't really have a need for performance as such, I'm banned from overtaking if the missus is in the car anyway.

Does anyone know if the Tipo body is Galvanized? It seems the 500s and Panda are still treated but not sure about a cheapo-Tipo.
