The car came from the manufacturer already with 3 defects:
oil leaks, knocking coming from the steering wheel when turning to the right and noise coming from the left rear wheel.
The problem of the wheel, were necessary to take the car seven times to the dealer to fix it, but the other two problems still continued without a solution.
Over priced, unreliable, underpowered and gas guzzler.
Don't buy this car or another car from FIAT. The quality of the dealer service are very poor as the quality of your cars.
Those problems were decisive to sell the car; now I'm a happy owner of a RENAULT MEGANE.
Sounds like you have been really unlucky mate.
Oh my friend! My mother was almost to purchase a Fiat Brava, until she read this review.
