Hatchback - Front (FWD) - 5 Speed Manual Gearbox - 1910 cc - Max Speed: 118, 119 mph - 115 bhp - Diesel - Available Trims: Dynamic, Active AirCon, Active
Advantages: Economical to buy and drive, many added extras and gadgets Disadvantages: Plenty to go wrong, a bit square to look at
I bought my FiatStilo 16v 1.6 Dynamic in May 2006 for £5800 from a private dealer, using the Autotrader website (www.autotrader.co.uk) It was just two years old and billed as 'under 3 year warranty'
It is a nice looking car, although quite sensible looking with nice paintwork and alloys.
The interior is impressive, with a cloth interior, comfortable seating and the most interesting thing is that the back seats are adjustable to allow either very generous legroom in the back or a very large boot. Even if you go for the middle ground you still have a decent boot size for a hatchback and enough legroom for your average to tall adult. It has nice little touches like cupholders in the rear centre console/armrest and a pull down picnic tray on the back of the passenger seat. It will seat five adults.
The front seats are very ...
Advantages: Well Priced Lots of room Disadvantages: none
Stilo Part 2
Some months ago I submitted an opinion on the FiatStilo car, The op was based on what I had read about the car and the 2 test-drives I had in it . Some members quite correctly pointed out that an opinion should be based on personal experience over a length of time so hopefully this op should now correct this.
I bought The FiatStilo1.6, 16 valve Dynamic in metallic blue, in July and have been putting it through its paces ever since.
I must admit I didn't buy a brand new one as this would have cost me £12000.00, what I got was a one year old model with 11000 miles on the clock for £8400.00, which in my opinion was a bargain.
Now to the important bit, How the car drives .
The first thing you notice when getting into a Stilo is how high up you feel ( this is with the seats at there lowest setting) , this in ...

Advantages: Nice drive, lots of space, tons of features, fuel on motorways Disadvantages: Too many computer problems, fuel in town driving
My experience with my Stilo, which I bought 4 months ago, is somewhat depressing. I have had it in the garage 3 times now. Shortly after I bought the car it started to report airbag failure and also told me, mainly at high speed, that my engine had failed (scary!). I took it into the fiat garage, who cleared some errors off the computer and replaced the sensor on the passenger seat - £180
Next visit to the garage was a couple of months later when the computer light came on and told me I had engine failure, ABS failure and traction control failure. Took it to a non-fiat dealership this time who said it may need a service (and as the MOT had a week or so to run got both done). They told me the spark plugs were mashed even though it had been serviced only 1k miles and 6 months earlier - £150
Two months go by and it runs fine ...
