What does it cost?
For You get a cracking engine, and some attractive extra kit over the base Active, including air-con, height-adjustable driver's seat and side airbags.
Against Diesel versions are quite a bit pricier than the petrol, and many will think a cheaper, Active-trimmed Qubo makes more sense, too.
What Car? says
The diesel engine is great, but choosing it makes the Qubo a bit expensive compared to some superminis. You do get standard air-con, though, which makes this an appealing version of the Qubo.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Fiat Qubo buyers have one very straightforward choice to make – between two engines – and that’s a piece of cake: you want the 75bhp 1.3-litre diesel. It's smooth and it's flexible, so it hauls the Qubo around in a nice relaxed manner, but there's some performance in reserve if you need it. There is a case for the petrol if you want your Qubo to be as cheap as possible, but if you can afford it, go for the diesel.
Entry-level Active trim comes with some posh goodies you wouldn't expect, like Bluetooth phone connection and a stereo that plays MP3 files from a memory stick. However, it misses out on air-conditioning, which is essential in a car with this much glass. You get climate control in Dynamic trim, but it costs lots more than the Active and there is still some kit missing that you'd expect for the price. Finally, there's the Trekking model, which gives the car an off-road lok, but no off-road ability.

The review I wrote before showed that this Qubo was a dream, how wrong was I. I picked the Qubo up and it basically fell to pieces and it's not nice…

The diesel engine is great, but choosing it makes the Qubo a bit expensive compared to some superminis. You don't get standard air-con, either, but we still think the cheapest diesel Qubo is the best.
