1997 Fiat Brava SX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
How long have you got?
Passenger window switch would not work on delivery. Fuel gauge packed up at 1 year old (needing a complete new instrument panel). Trim falling off, window seals don't stay in place. Car pulls to the right on acceleration and to the left on braking (even after wheel alignment & tracking checked).
Most serious problem is an intermittent cutting out. Neither the dealer nor FIAT can explain what causes it - nothing comes up on the engine analyser because a cutting engine is not considered to be a fault!!
Build quality is appalling.
General comments?
When I bought it I thought it was great. That lasted all of a month, that's when all the problems started.
I'm buying something reliable next time.
