    Hello needmoneyadvice

    I'll move your thread to the 'Motoring & Public Transport' board.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Regards

    Fors: seats 6, has a boot space, good resale value (once someone buys one new, they tend to hang onto them until they die, so hard to find 2nd-hand). Even with 3 kids in the car, they can be seperated so not in breathing distance of each other (parents of 3 kids will know what i mean lol)

    Against: kids fight over who gets the middle front seat

    Technically, theres no major recalls that i can remember off-hand

    Honestly, although people say they look odd, since Fiat restyled the model (away from the dolphin look) sales have dropped off considerably. Seems the bug-eyed look was the selling point

    As for people knocking Fiat, they are actually doing well sales wise at the mo (considering), and unlike their competitors, dont seem to be heading down the pan financially. Yes Fiats used to be low end, rusty and not too mechanically sound, but things change

    Hqaving owned a multipla for 3 years I can honestly say that we had no mechanical or other problems with it. We had the petrol 1.6 version ELX which is the one with twin sunroofs. Only problem we had was MPG, about mid to late 20's. Other than that it was superb, very individual, it is one of those where fellow owners wave. You may class it as ugly but i say individual, what other car on the road today looks so different from its competitors, get a Zafira if you want to look the same as everybody else.
    Up the Rams !!
  • fiats are more reliable than VW for example
