Fiat Bravo Hatchback 1.4 Active 5dr

For Active models have the air-conditioning, curtain airbags and foglights missing from the basic car, plus remote central locking, electric front windows and mirrors

Against The 1.4 engine is rather gutless and it can't match either the punch of the economy of the diesel engines.

What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

The Bravo has weak residuals, meaning the cheaper cars make better buys. So, although the 1.4 engine isn't the strongest, this model has all the kit you need, and we reckon it is the best model in the range

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There's a wide range of engines and trims to choose from in the Bravo range, but you don't need to spend much to get all the best bits of the Bravo.

Our favourite model is the 1.4 Active - although it's not the quickest model in the range, it is the cheapest, but still comes with standard air conditioning.

The diesels are smooth and responsive, and may make some sense for higher-mileage drivers. And, no matter which model you're looking at, you have the reassurance of a five-star crash-test rating from Euro NCAP.
