2002 Fiat Stilo dynamic review from Gibraltar
"Real head turner, but don't fall for the looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After one month of owning the car I noticed that it drunk as much oil as it drunk fuel. Sounded like a diesel from out side. Air Bag Failure lights were appearing for no reason and clutch was flimsy and had an odd squeal to it. The dash has gone grey from black and is really showing its age.
General comments?
Its got extremely high top speeds as I found out in the Spanish auto ban roads when it was doing 230kph = 142 mph with three people in it and was able to get up to 193kph in 4th gear.
