Fantastic car. The 90hp 1.3 diesel engine is just amazing - it feels every bit as fast as the 2.0 petrol peugeot 206cc that I had previously. And of course it is far far more economical.
With cruise control, it cruises effortlessly and quietly on motorways, and the mp3 player with upgraded speaker system sounds fantastic. I've also got air conditioning, and the full length sunroof, which together make it pretty much my ideal car.
I bought one of the first ones when they came out. There is a creaking noise occasionally from the rear suspension, and sometimes a 'clonk' sensation comes through the steering. I intend to get these sorted at the first service.
Brisk, fun to drive, confortable, quiet, good looking.
Some of the interior plastic looks a little cheap, esp. the non leather steering wheel.

Well its a couple of weeks later and it gets better! At 70 mph on Motorway I get 61mpg now that cant be bad! Still no rattles or faults. Big grin factor comes as standard, this engine is the same as the Skoda Fabia Vrs, Golf diesel etc... Some FIAT traits remain tho.... my jetwash blew the Giugiaro badge off the side!! Stuck back on ok tho, and FIAT will replace it FOC.
Cool car, quick, economical, Group 6 insurance, comfortable and easy to live with as well as drive.
I didnt get Cruise control and the Blue and Me update is not working, nor does it want to play with my Samsung D900 Chrome.... yet.

Fantastic fun! Go try one and if you had a bad experience with Fiat before, this really looks like a change in attitude from Fiat. Well made, no squeeks or rattles, everything works and quick as an early Golf GTI but with much better fuel economy. Accelerates like a mad thing greased and stops on a breath! No body roll, being Sporty its quite firm but I like that. Grippy tyres to help and traction control for when it gets slippy. No regrets yet, I will keep you updated but this is definitely a huge leap forward for Fiat!!
Great looks, well built, quick, cheap to buy, insure and run.
Cant text on Bluetooth lol. I would like a spare wheel, heavy doors but thats all to do with the 5* safety I guess.
