2000 Fiat Multipla ELX review from UK and Ireland
"A magnificent machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
This is an absolutely brilliant car.
The design is utterly radical and at first you think it is hideous, but it grows and grows on you till you love it.
The space and light inside are unparalleled.
Children love travelling in it because with the middle front seat folded down they have an excellent view forwards as well as sideways, and they are high up so can see really well.
The seats are really comfortable and supportive, where our previous Volkswagen Vento gave us both backache.
The well positioned plastic rubbing strip on the side just proved itself by protecting the paintwork from any damage when a ladder-carrying white van got too close in a traffic queue.
The petrol version isn't particularly economical, we get less than 25mpg around town, though much better on open roads.
We paid £11,700 at Trade Sales in Slough for a new Irish import ELX and think we got amazing value.
