2000 Fiat Multipla SX review from UK and Ireland
"Good value, sturdy, fun to drive and economical on fuel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat belt warning light stuck on after delivery. Fixed under warranty.
One of battery cables snapped at connection to battery. Fixed under warranty. Apparently incorrectly routed during manufacture causing stress and failure. Fixed under warranty.
Front offside suspension tie-rod failed at 15,000 miles. Vehicle out of warranty, but dealer supplied part free of charge and fitting was done in five minutes by local mechanic (£10)
Diesel leak appeared at about 28,000 miles. Traced to pipes from pump to injectors. Full set replaced (not under warranty) total cost £135 inclusive.
General comments?
Vehicle has stood up fairly well to four kids and general abuse.
Pulls five berth caravan very well, with four bikes on the roof.
Let us down once when battery cable snapped.
Good on fuel, 40+mpg on run.
Parts are actually pretty cheap and our dealer (Piccadilly, Ripon) are exceptionally good.
We find the lights a bit dim at hight even in highest setting.
