2002 Fiat Stilo Dynamic review from Croatia
"Coffin on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door handle (inside) got loose month after purchase (still waiting replacing under warranty)
Tire blew on motorway because of faulty suspension (after 1 year - dealer did not accept it under warranty)
Wipers faulty from purchasing (Dealer said it is because connections are shaking and are in wet, and we are talking about wipers remember). They were repairing them for two years, and after the warranty expired they said I should buy new wiper engine.
Airbags malfunction.
Bulb malfunction every 3 months.
My clutch literally exploded on motorway (three weeks before I was at dealers and told him that I think something is wrong with it, and they said that everything is OK). They even wanted to charge me repair, but after I said I will sue them, they decided not to.
Air conditioning was repaired three times.
Lots of loose plastic bits.
Car is full of rattling noises.
General comments?
Most unreliable car I have ever driven.
Too expensive for what it offers.
