1999 Fiat Brava ELX 100

Summary:

OK

Faults:

Driver seat fabric torn off after a month use. Followed by front passenger seat.

Seat fabric (velvet-like) is also easy to catch dirt and hard to clean.

Torino Motors (Malaysia) promised to change. Now it's 5 year old, the fabric is still never changed.

General Comments:

Car is responsive.

Fiat SPA supposed to fire the fabric manufacturer and replace the fabric.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have bought one second hand Brava 1.4s from england. It is good stylish car of its kind. Unluckily it does`t have an air condition. There are dealers for fiat trucks (Incar (T) ltd) how can I get to arrange for spare part from UK?. But So far no problem detected just two months in Tanzanian roads. Can you please suggest how best I can get spare parts from you people incase I need them so that my FIAT Brava can well and always be on the road.

1996 Fiat Brava ELX 1.8 petrol

Summary:

Very good

Faults:

ABS sometimes functioning and sometimes not.

Leaking sunroof, need to replace the rubber.

To replace the air-cond condenser (in the dashboard) you need to dismantle the entire dashboard unit.

General Comments:

Very reliable although in hot climate like Malaysia.

Quite comfortable.

Handling quite good, I think with Eibach springs would be better.

Generally it is a good car to own. It would be better if the spare parts prices were cheaper.
