For Among the attractive extra kit over the base Active are air-con, height-adjustable driver's seat and side airbags.

Against Pricier to buy than the Active trim, and if you're paying more, you might as well go the whole hog and have the better engine, too – the 1.3 diesel.

Mylife trim gives you the air-conditioning you need in a car like the Qubo, but you pay more for it. The petrol engine you get is wheezy and underpowered, too.

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.

I think you have to review this car in context. It's cheap in most respects and you get a lot of practicality, space and at least it has some…

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…
