2002 Fiat Multipla JTD ELX review from UK and Ireland

On delivery 3 faults.

Radio aerial not connected to radio. aerial replaced.

Nearside interior trim panel on "C" pillar snapped at top. replaced.

Passenger front door light switch needed adjusting, interior light intermittently stayed on. Two goes to fix.

After 6 months, nearside headlight seal failed, condensation on inside of lens. Replaced badly by dealer, beams all over the place, fixed at first service. (by a different dealer!)

This is more than a car, it's a way of life, part of the family. A real head-turner & it's a secret society with waving & headlamp flashing the norm!!

A fantastic family car ("picnic car" the kids call it because of the tables & the picture in the brochure of the people eating in it!) Very verstile, good to drive, reasonable economy, average 37 mpg, 40+ on run (compare to a Galaxy/Espace not a Picasso/Scenic due to its size). Even carrying 6 for a five day holiday, I removed the roof box before we went because everything was packed inside. Amazing! Don't tell everyone, they'll all want one!

(Some?) Dealers are rubbish. Only a rather firm low speed ride (especially empty) to criticize. Width never a problem on the move, & rarely when parking, helped by good visibility & turning circle for its size.
