General Comments:

Bought this as a cheap run about a couple of years ago. It has proven surprisingly reliable for an older Fiat. We had a Brava in the family way back in the 1990's, it was pretty poor, but this more modern Bravo is much better.

Typical modern looking hatchback. Does not stand out, but certainly not ugly. I like it as something different from a Focus or Astra or whatever.

Inside is very comfortable and has soft suspension. Useless for fast cornering, but makes a pleasantly comfortable car for cruising.

1.4 engine is no ball of fire but is economical as far as petrol goes (37 - 40 mpg +).

Getting on a bit at 15 years old now, but the car is in great shape and has low miles, will keep it another few years yet! No signs of rust, the car just passed its MOT with no advisory. Very happy with this car.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
