2003 Fiat Doblo SX 1.9 JTD from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Great value for money and I would buy another one

Faults:

Brake fluid level warning light would illuminate when going round right hand corners. (fixed by dealer)

Engine control unit would stay illuminated occasionally. (fixed by dealer)

General Comments:

Considering its high van type body it handles beautifully, with minimal body roll on corners and very positive direct steering.

It has bags of grunt with maximum torque coming in at only 1500 RPM with no noticeable turbo lag.

Very comfortable on a long journey with good drivers seat with adjustable lumbar support. Lots of adjustments for height and angle of seat too.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have bought an 03 Doblo 1.9JTD SX. It's a great car for my needs. I use it to transport an electric wheelchair and it is also a fantastic car otherwise! Just one problem, the engine management light has come on a few times with associated loss of power. Getting it looked at soon though.

They're great cars!

2003 Fiat Doblo 1.9 diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

A slow, but loud beast

Faults:

The car is super slow! Might have been the slowest car I have owned and driven in my life.

The diesel engine sounds weak when I drive it. The car is way too noisy.

Way too slow considering 0-60 in 20.9 seconds. And the car has a very horrible refinement and rumbles way too much.

General Comments:

I like the shape of the car and hate the size. The car feels too small also. But is pretty big at the same time. I am very glad I have sold it and now I am thinking of buying a Honda Stream.

Hi.

I'm considering buying a Doblo, but with the JTD turbo diesel engine. This unit has been reviewed very well - economical, powerful and pretty fast for a diesel.

It's a pity we don't have more reviews of this very practical model of car.

I've got the JTD, and very good it is too. 10,000 miles and no trouble. A great cruiser with fine steering. Enjoy.

Colin.
