2004 Fiat Stilo Active Aircon review from UK and Ireland
"A well equipped car with stylish Italian flair available with great discounts available"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned the car for 2 weeks and after reading various bad reviews, I actually find the car to be fantastic and I am well satisfied. The only thing to go wrong so far is a bulge appearing the front offside tyre and that can't be Fiat's fault!
General comments?
A very stylish car. Others say it is not "rounded" enough. Look at the detailing- It's Italian through and through.
For a 1.4, it is surprisingly nimble, but then it does have the equivalent power to a 1.6 Ford Focus!
Seats are very comfortable, stereo is better than my previous Alfa! There isn't much pedal room though and the car lacks a clutch rest.
In basic Active Aircon form I get a CD changer, 6 airbags, ABS, EBD, stylish looks, great sounding engine- what more could you want.
OK- build quality throughout is not fantastic, but it is on a similar level to a previous Ford Focus- Ford are just better at hiding the faults!
It's not as quick as my Alfa, but it's every bit as stylish and as fun to drive- luckily my 2004 version has had all the faults ironed out.
