2004 Fiat Stilo Dynamic review from Luxembourg
"Waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical problems after 2000km.
All control indicators off.
Connection on door faulty.
Rear windows could not be lowered.
Dealer attention needed two times to rectify problem.
Done first service on 16800km.
Full engine failed on 17500km.
Three weeks repair needed.
Same problem with full engine failed on 22000km.
Two weeks repair needed.
Clutch failed on 27000km. It was not possible to change gears.
Two weeks until part arrived and problem rectified.
Same clutch failed on 28800km.
Car in service. I don't know when will be finished.
General comments?
It does have power, but rather loud engine.
Handles medium well, but do not expect good stability.
After short time lot of "singing plastic" around.
Breaks problem and strange sounds from wheels with full turn.
