    My brother recently acquired his driving license. Being only 19 and without any experience, there was no force on earth that could convince me to let him drive my BMW. So, he had some savings and after realizing the bitter truth that my car was out of his reach (for now), he decided to buy one of his own. After searching for a while, he finally narrow down his choice to a Fiat Tipo. Well, being "burned" by used Italian cars i really did not think it was a good idea but, he's stubborn.

    Fiat Tipo 1.6 DGT SX I first acquired the Fiat Tipo as I required a quick and cheap replacement for my trusty old Peugeot 405 which had finally given up the ghost. In the cheaper end of the 2nd hand car market the Tipo is neither over priced, over thrashed or underpowered which is an almost unique factor in its favour. Looks wise it is quite distinctive.
