2000 Fiat Bravo HGT review from UK and Ireland
"£15.5K new, £5K now with 36,000 on it - a high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car suffers from the freezing hand brake fault that afflicts many of these models, its going in for a new cable shortly.
Following a smash at the rear the central locking system developed several faults which were fixed under warranty.
The wash function of the rear wash/wipe tends to fail a lot and is fixed at every service.
The boot light sometimes doesn't work.
The stereos function which increases the volume as the spped goes up is often flaky and can from time to time mute the system for a brief period.
General comments?
I was wary of getting a Fiat, but as it was a company car I thought I'd try it for four years and it's been fantastic.
Two things to watch out for though, the boot is not as big as it looks and not being able to put the electric windows up after you've switched the ignition off is really annoying.
Mechanically sound.
