2002 Fiat Multipla ELX 110 review from UK and Ireland

Exterior temperature sensor was faulty when I collected the car, repaired under warranty

humidity in diesel sensor, repaired under warranty

engine control unit, repaired under warranty

anti-lock brake pump, twice, repaired under warranty

electronic throttle control failed whilst being test driven prior to return after previous repair, still awaiting result,

The car has adequate power and torque for a family vehicle. It's not happy at high speeds, but handles beautifully when driven conservatively.

Visibility is excellent, there are no blind spots when emerging from junctions, and reversing is a pleasure.

The ELX provides both sun roof and climate control as standard, the belt and braces approach means that you are comfortable on even the hottest of days despite the large areas of glass.

All seats have three point seat belts and are independent of each other, meaning that the children are safe and happy.

The car has been called 'ugly'. Personally, I think it's cute, but why spend money on the outside of the car? I can see where every penny of my money has been spent whilst sitting the driving seat.

We have had some teething problems, mainly electrical, but the car has still been drivable, and the dealership has done its utmost to correct them. I wouldn't consider buying anything else.
