2003 Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon JTD review from UK and Ireland
"Not a bad car good to look at poor resale and high service costs get a good discount on new"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front near side suspension gave way due to a manufacturing fault.
No other faults apart from bulbs blowing not a real problem until you try and get at them. It took me a whole day to replace one head light bulb,In the end I had to take battery box out. Come on fiat give us some room to fix easy things with out having to go to your dealers.!
General comments?
You get a lot for your money with a fiat and I am impressed with the overall build quaility good plastics good switches and good quaility fabrics.
However the cost of servicing is more than a shock be ready to part with £330 quid for a 24,000 mile service.
You do get good discounts on new, but you also get a poor resale and this with high services may make you think twice.
Great engine though loads of power great for pulling my caravan.
