2005 Fiat Stilo Reviews from UK and Ireland

Door hinge bolt needed tightening.

Door control cover is a little loose.

Front N/S coil spring needed replacing.

Clutch feels like it will need replacing soon.

Really like the car. It's cheap, yet has a really good spec.

The interior is great quality.

The car looks good.

Handling is great, sticks to the road nicely.

Brakes are very sharp.

Seats are very comfy once you get used to them (I had a little bit of back pain for a day or two when I first got it).

Engine (1.4L) is well suited to the size of the car. Acceleration can be pretty quick and it easily handles motorways, but it also doesn't guzzle up fuel.

Paint problems on body kit (started to blister, nor primed properly, so looked patchy) returned to dealer and got it re-sprayed.

Handles brilliantly.

Fantastic suspension on the GP model.

Quick off the mark.

Looks fantastic.

Real eye-catcher.

Comfortable even on long journeys.

Great sound system.

Identical replacement tyres are quite expensive (£125 each+fitting)

The usual problem of warning lights. The last couple of times I have managed to reset it myself, but this time I'm being told there is a loose connection and it's a no go.

The Stilo is a comfortable economical car, but the problem with the warning lights is one I'm not prepared to put up with as I need a car that starts in the morning.

Nothing has gone wrong with the car.

What a fantastic car.

Really nice smooth drive.

Very comfortable seating position and seats.

Handles perfectly got 17 inch alloys, hugs the road.

Loads of room inside the car and in the boot.

Loads of gadgets to play with, I paid extra for 6cd changer and was well worth it.
