Front brake discs were replaced by the dealer at ~11000km.
Pretty attractive exterior. Comfortable interior. Performance is better than anybody expects from 1.2l engine, even with the air conditioning turned on.
Can't really judge on reliability yet, but first year and first 20,000km showed only one problem (see above).
I had my Fiat Palio with 80 000 Km, by this time I had replaced the front disks 4 times!!! Apparently the Palio has a manufacturing flaw with their braking system.
I have a Palio which was supplied new in 2003 and it is a nice car to drive. Fantastic for a 1.24 litre motor. Have experienced two failures of the "phonic wheel" which shears off at the mounting flange behind the alternator drive pulley. At around 45000 and 61000 km. Looking for somebody to advise on why. The dealer says that they have never had such problems.
