1996 Fiat Brava EL review from Italy
"Great car, the best I've ever had, indeed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The thermostat broke down in summer 1999, at 35000 km; this is the only remarkable fault I have to report.
General comments?
In spite of its quite stiff suspensions, my Brava is a fully satisfying car; good looking, practical, reliable and absolutely pleasant to drive. Quality of plastic material inside could have been better, but after all they don't make any noise. I keep postponing the purchase of my next car, since my brava still looks good as new and runs like the first day.
