2001 Fiat Brava ELX review from Czech Republic
"Reasonable value for money, I'm just too used to Japanese cars' nature"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattling driver's seat at 40,000 kms, idle valve replacement at 50,000 kms, interior fan too noisy from the beginning, door handles wear quite quickly and do not like sunny weather, same for door locks' position that needed to be adjusted every 20k kms,
General comments?
It handles easily, power steering should be easier, auto transmission is of a sportive nature, both engine and transmission need to warm up before it works properly. able to drive at 170 km/h on highway, reasonable gas mileage, Car is fully equipped so comfortable.
