2004 Fiat Stilo Dynamic review from UK and Ireland
"Italy's biggest undiscovered secret!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A few minor faults on collection - evident of inadequate pre-delivery checks.
A/C gas cylinder never worked form start, though dealer re-filled free of charge.
Some trim quality can be sub-standard.
General comments?
This car has to be the most under-rated in its class. If this had a Ford/Vauxhall/VW badge, it would have sold three times as many, and probably won Car of the Year.
The trim levels and comfort/driving position are the best I've known and, whilst the looks are not mainstream, it's a smart looking car and stands out on the road.
Looks solidly built and, despite the few comments above, build quality is generally impressive. Fiat have come a long way since the 70s: I've had three in a row since 1997.
