2002 Fiat Stilo JTD Dynamic review from UK and Ireland
"Would be great if it was reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recurrent turbo waste gate valve problem.
Brake disc whistle from the back.
Hose blew off the turbo unit.
Excessive tyre wear.
General comments?
This should be a good family car however it has many faults.
The engine is good, a lot of torque and good for motorway or around town. Fuel economy is good.
There is quite a lot of space in the cabin and a lot of nice extras (climate control, cd player etc.)
The rear seats are very hard and I wouldn't want to sit in them for long.
The reliability has been poor, with a number of problems occurring that the dealer were not able to fix.
Servicing costs have been very high.
Front tires need replacing every 10,000 miles.
The paintwork scratches very easily right down to the white primer beneath.
