    My car

    The fiat was a car i never intended to own and it lasted longer than i wanted, i got it back in 2002 with 44000 miles at this stage it was 4 years old and a nice and fresh car, i didnt like the styling of the outside much and the interior was full of greasy unpleasent hard plastics, with the only redeeming feature being the show the radio put on when ejecting a tape, the interior was terrible to look at, nonetheless it all stayed in one piece, the engine revved freely and was nice to drive, i never had any trouble from the car, it got 120,000 miles on the clock without any problems by 2008 i noticed that the passenger footwell became damp, but ignored it, then the engine blew the head gasket it turned out to be the heater leaking water which caused it, but at that age the car had done its job, it was just a car and nothing special, mine didnt give any trouble but i could easily imagine cars that age now giving trouble they are too old now

    My car

    I have had my Brava for less than a month and it has already let me down several times. The full review on this site seems spot on i think. Its just a poor car. I got it because im on a budget and needed a cheap small family car..it hasnt worked out like that my car is full of faults that will cost a lot to fix and from what i've seen online these problems i've got are common on fiat bravas!! The insideof the car is quite big but its still got no room for anything like no cup holders but plenty of ash trays! The one good point is the boot which is HUGE but other than that this car is aweful and i will be getting rid of it for a toyota corolla or honda civic as soon as i can.

    My car

    I bought my car as a cheap, temporary runabout; I didn't intend on keeping it very long. 8 years later (LOL), I'm still enjoying the lively handling, the practical interior (especially the cavernous boot) and the almost negligible running costs - flys through it's MOT every time; only major expense I've incurred was changing the cambelt at 70K (£400)to be on safe side. I must get a new car soon (I've been saying this for years) but I can't bare to part with it...

    My car

    overall a good car.Nice handling especially on motorways,just watch out for the electrics they tend to have faults.My motor on the window washer packed in. these cars do depreciate very fast,due to the large number of them on brithish roads. you can buy a good second hand one, 2001 plate for under £1000. very roomy boot,and a lot of extras as standard,great first car.
