2001 Fiat Brava SX review from UK and Ireland
"Just as fun, and better made than a Peugeot 306"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake discs scored (due to previous owner not replacing pads)
New clutch (this is my fault not the cars oops!)
New battery (worn out over time)
That's it!
General comments?
This car is seriously quick for a 1.6 being a 16v - timed 0-60mph on less than 10 seconds!
Very comfortable once you get used to the driving position.
Generous amount of extras including Electric Sunroof, windows, mirrors, PAS and ABS.
Handling is OK - bit wobbly at times but this was sorted by lowering the car 40mm. it handled perfectly!
Economical for a 1.6 but still only 35mpg average.
Cruised at 90mph easy.
This car is very well made for the money and great to drive with a spacious interior and boot. Miles ahead of the Peugeot 306.
