Crap
My brakes are not working. The pedal travels to the floor when engine is running. The pedal is rock hard when the engine is off. Have changed pads, shoes and bled the system, but it's still the same.
This car is a nightmare.

Great van when it runs which is not often
Engine mount collapsed, caught cam belt and trashed a rocker and valve.
Loom burnt out.
Fuel computer died.
Gear selector mechanism failed.
Now it conks out when warm and will not start until cooled down, any suggestions?
Performance, size and use is fantastic when it is running, unfortunately this is not very often.
This is the first and last Fiat I will ever buy, which is a shame as it does everything I want of it very well except for its reliability.
Any clues to the previous question about it stopping when warm?

This individual buys a car that is 5 years old, over 100K miles. They make no mention of service history or who they have had to attempt a repair on this vehicle, which probably means it's not actually been to anyone who knows what they are doing. As they say, it does everything they want it to do, but for the sake of spending a little money with someone who knows what they are doing the ownership experience is poor, much like their review.
Even if it been fully serviced it would not affect the engine mount, its not a serviceable part, and he has a right to his opinion same as you or I.
My Scudo 1.9 JTD goes like a rocket, but it suffered the won't start when its hot routine. I was told that it was the main diesel pump = £800. Could not afford to fix it. So had to use it to get to work for 6 weeks and now the problem has disappeared and it runs fine. Very odd.
I have a problem with the mileage display on this van in that it has just gone off. everything else works on the instrument panel, but for some reason I can no longer see how many miles I have covered. Don't think that it's a bulb or a fuse, but feel it may be a problem with the computer?? but I hope I'm wrong. Has anyone out there had this problem and can help me before I try getting out the instrument panel to see if indeed it is a bulb. keith.

The fact that this car has traveled a quarter of a million miles indicates to me that it cannot be as bad as you suggest.
