Faults:

Clutch made a horrible vibrations in the car, changed at 75k km and idle actuator must be changed each 40k km.

General Comments:

The car is just great, I use it 4 days a week on very fast motor way (120 km @ 150 to 180 km/h) and it's fantastic, it had a little problem with the lateral wind, but once you get used to the car it's no big deal.

Lots of room inside, it looks and drives good.

It handles very good on tight corners, but you must take care if you have more than 3 persons in the cars, the rear axle doesn't follow the front one.

It's my second Fiat (4 years exp.) I love it.

Faults:

Nothing. Yet.

General Comments:

This is overall an excellent car and I am sorry that Fiat appear to have stopped production. I do find that the Brava is more expensive to run than my previous car, a Punto. However the good qualities of the Brava (the larger boot and nicer style of body etc) more than make up for this. I would not change my car for the world, I love it and would definitely consider buying another if it were still available. Fiat now seems to be concentrating on smaller hatchbacks which are not a great deal of use for storing a wheelchair in the boot, which is one of the main reasons I liked the car. The fantastic boot space!! My friend apparently loves the car also as she has given me the privilege of driving her bridesmaids for her wedding. I own a classy looking car which is also practical and good to drive. I love it! Bring it back Fiat!!!

Faults:

Rattling driver's seat at 40,000 kms, idle valve replacement at 50,000 kms, interior fan too noisy from the beginning, door handles wear quite quickly and do not like sunny weather, same for door locks' position that needed to be adjusted every 20k kms,

General Comments:

It handles easily, power steering should be easier, auto transmission is of a sportive nature, both engine and transmission need to warm up before it works properly. able to drive at 170 km/h on highway, reasonable gas mileage, Car is fully equipped so comfortable.

Faults:

Front brakes had to be completely replaced at 20,000km.

A/C belt tensioner had to be replaced at 20,000km.

ECU had to be re-programmed 2 times within 21,000km.

Everything has been making noise since the day I got it.

General Comments:

This car has been a good partner so far, although expensive to maintain.

It has several faults, but none of them made me dislike it.

It handles nicely and offers decent acceleration. The automatic transmission works very well in the "sport" mode.

Faults:

Rear window wiper failed @ 30.000 km (fixed on warranty)

Front fog*light glass broke 3 times allready.

First gear had some issues, fixed under warranty.

General Comments:

The car performs very well for a diesel. 105 pk are very useful on the highway, and the car accelerates pretty fast from let's say 100 km/h to 120 km/h. 0-100 in about 10 seconds.

The suspension is pretty stiff, so the car may feel uncomfortable on rough road surfaces, but overall it gives you a kind of 'sporty' feeling when taking curves. It has a very good grip on the road.

The diesel engine is rather noisy, and the windows let the wind through @ +140 km/h = whistling sound.

Dashboard sometimes squeaks, sometimes it doesn't. I wasn't able to find the cause for that and it's rather annoying.

I drove the car from Belgium to Poland and back twice all-ready, and the car performed very well on this +1000km journey.

Top speed (tested in Germany) was about 198 km/h on the speedometer. 180 km/h @ 4000 rpm.

I'm very satisfied.
