Fiat Brava in general

When you buy a car off eBay you are probably asking for trouble and when you do not get it checked over by a mechanic you are definitely asking for it. However, occasionally you are desperate for a cheap vehicle and anything will do. After all, if you have a budget of four-hundred pounds you cannot expect much bang for your buck. It was therefore, with a large dose of pessimism and perhaps foresight for what the future would hold, that I bought a 1.4 R registration Fiat Brava for just three-hundred and seventy pounds with twelve months MOT. On arriving to pick up and pay for my vehicle I have to say that initial signs were favourable. The maroon bodywork ...  Read the complete review

Though it looks very stylish, I found the Fiat Brava an unpleasant and under-powered machine. What do I base my judgement on? I hired a Brava 1.2 SX for nine days in February. Agreed, nine days is not a long time. But, on the other hand, it is long enough to get a feel for the car. In addition, my comments are not affected by the fact that I've bought the motor. A car is usually the second most expensive item that people buy and, let's face it, if you've spent £10-12'000 pounds on something you are naturally going to be reluctant to admit that it's not up to much. I'm not casting aspersions on anyone else's review here, just ...  Read the complete review

We (my wife, 14 month old son and I) have owned our P-reg Brava 1.6 ELX for around 5 months now. Like some of the other owners that have commented, we bought it because our little “hot-hatch” was proving just too small – so we traded in our P-reg Cinquecento Sporting for the Brava. We needed a car that was capable of hauling about all the usual paraphernalia associated with transporting a young baby and, as most of our family live upwards of 200 miles from us, it had to be comfortable and reasonably well equipped too. We set ourselves a budget, based on what we thought we’d get for the Cinquecento, and set about looking for a descent car. ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant last year, we decided to buy a bigger car, as we only had a small 2 door at the time. We finally chose a Fiat Brava SX, and I thought it was perfect. It was a really big family sized car, massive boot space for the massive pram I was buying LOL. Loads of room inside, and it had lots of extras. It had electric windows, power steering, airbag, central locking, and even an electric sunroof. You don't see many cars with an electric sunroof. I was a bit frightened of driving it at first as it was so much bigger than our other car, but I found it much easier, and it was lovely to drive, very smooth. I suppose the power steering ...  Read the complete review
