2004 Fiat Stilo JTD Dynamic review from UK and Ireland
"A brute of an engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only usual wear and tear, which I was aware of when buying the car.
General comments?
I'm not too sure about the other Stilos in the range, but if you're looking for a cheap, good performer, you can do no wrong with the JTD.
I have the 3 door version. It has a full length sunroof, air con, good safety features etc, but the most amazing thing about the car is its engine.
I've driven similar 1.9 TD lumps, but the JTD is an absolute winner in terms of torque.
On A roads it's staggering how quickly you catch cars ahead up, and overtaking is so easy. The same goes on motorways as well, always a burst of power available when needed.
On the downside it can be a noisy engine when cold, and the car needs a regular thrashing when warm to keep economy/refinement up.. which is not necessarily a bad thing!!
I'd recommend anyone to consider getting one.
