General comments?
Well, after driving this car for a year, I fell in love with it. It is a great concept car and even though I have so many problem with it, I still love it!
I don't think Fiat feels the same way..
It's so so sad to have such a good concept car, but a poor after sales feedback action. Fiat must do something to accomidate and overcome the problems we user have or else the name will be turnished for ever when it's just picking up again. I'm having a had time up keeping my Brava, but I still tell people that it's the best car so far...
