Over all a good car
Nothing has gone wrong yet in the six months that we ave it its been very reliable.
The car has loads of room inside for me and I am a big lad it handles good holds the road goning into bends it just lacks power for overtaken, but overall a good car.

Well worth having
ABS failure light coming on at random at start up. easily sorted by turning ignition off then on.
Main dealer servicing a joke and a rip off- £350 for an oil change and a rub over with a greasy rag!
A much maligned car that is really very good and has proved to be totally reliable in the 20,000 miles I've done in it.
Torquey, economical engine that is quick enough to embarrass most warm hatches.
Don't listen to the critics, all manufactures make cars where the odd one has faults. Owned 2 Stilos, both reliable and comfortable. Admittedly resale values are low but they are cheap to buy.
Would definitely have another.

A great car! amazing style, so many bargains to be had!
Nothing!!
This is the second car I have owned with the 1st being a N reg citroen AX.
I am very impressed with the car, the equiptment, the performance and the style. I was worried that the car was going to be too big for me (after the tiny AX) but its not! its really nice to drive, so quite, gear changes are great and the sound system is really good! I am very impressed with the car!
I was worried that the 1.2 engine was going to be far to small for the size of the car, but its not! its really quick, I always beat other cars from lights including a TT and a Celica!
Everyone who has seen the car has said how nice it looks and are very impressed - it looks and feels a lot more expensive than it is!
Both insurance and tax are cheap (even know it costs an extra £400 a year more than my AX, which is worth every penny!) - with me being only 19 this is very important. I couldnt say what the car is like with petrol cos I don't really take any notice and just fill it up when the light comes on.
The computer in the car is great and tells you everything you need to know from if the door is open to what the tempature is - I'm still finding little gadgets all the time such as being able to open and close the windows with the remote! (hold down the open or close button on the key!)
I am really happy with this car and very proud of it!!!

Not a bad car good to look at poor resale and high service costs get a good discount on new
Front near side suspension gave way due to a manufacturing fault.
No other faults apart from bulbs blowing not a real problem until you try and get at them. It took me a whole day to replace one head light bulb,In the end I had to take battery box out. Come on fiat give us some room to fix easy things with out having to go to your dealers.!
You get a lot for your money with a fiat and I am impressed with the overall build quaility good plastics good switches and good quaility fabrics.
However the cost of servicing is more than a shock be ready to part with £330 quid for a 24,000 mile service.
You do get good discounts on new, but you also get a poor resale and this with high services may make you think twice.
Great engine though loads of power great for pulling my caravan.

Hi,
I currently have an AX for my first car too, and am thinking of getting a Stilo. Do you still have the car, and would you recommend it?
