2001 Fiat Brava SX review from United Arab Emirates
"A hostile beauty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brakes had to be completely replaced at 20,000km.
A/C belt tensioner had to be replaced at 20,000km.
ECU had to be re-programmed 2 times within 21,000km.
Everything has been making noise since the day I got it.
General comments?
This car has been a good partner so far, although expensive to maintain.
It has several faults, but none of them made me dislike it.
It handles nicely and offers decent acceleration. The automatic transmission works very well in the "sport" mode.
