For Along with strong diesel engines and decent refinement, the Fiat Bravo brings some flair to its class. It looks stylish, and is cheap to buy and run.

Against The ride and handling disappoint, build quality is below par and rear vision is poor. To cap it all, depreciation is heavy.

Cheap, but otherwise an average car in a class where excellence is the norm. The Fiat Bravo is nowhere near as good as the class leaders.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There's a wide range of engines and trims to choose from in the Fiat 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.
