But why should people listen to them if they have nothing to back it up with? :undecided

Sorry lellie, according to Inactive, you dont have to justify your opinion here, can you please re-edit your post to read

'My new panda is amazing'

Seriously though - its good to have people with ACTUAL RECENT EXPERIENCE of the manufacturer on this post - something that seems to be lacking when people chose to criticise fiat.

I have recently been driving a Grande Punto Sporting and I LOVE IT It has an amazing voice activated bluetooth/USB/phone system - BLue&Me, the comfiest leather seats I have ever sat in (in a family car anyway) and is a real nice car to drive. Some of the interior bits are not up to ford/VW standards but its a budget brand so I forgive them. I get to drive a lot of cars and this one has charcter, looks amazing, has great features & a great drive. If I needed a car I would seriously consider one, they are a bargain. My mum has a new Panda 100 something or other for a little run around and she prefers that to the Jag she sometime drives :rotfl: Anyways I have gone completely off topic but my point is fiat have really improved over the last few years and that is a fact. If they didn't do you think they would still be here? The new models - Panda/Grande Punto/Bravo/500 are all brillant cars although I agree some of the older models are not up to much as pointed out in the reviews above. For example the 500 is the only super mini to achieve a 5* Euro NCAP rating and those who have been lucky enough to test drive one say overall its better than the mini (Yes built by BMW which some posters I am sure will think build the most reliable cars ever because they cost twice as much - get real )

Thanks to the OP for the £1,000 off a new Fiat offer. Sadly, if the coupon entitled me to a new Fiat for £1,000 I would still give the offer a wide berth. Fiats are sheite. FACT. I have never been daft enough to own one........I don't think I've ever driven one. I can't even justify my opinion (sorry Morph3us), but this site is about giving sound financial advice to fellow users. My advice is to stay clear.

Another thing the Fiat-bashers completely fail to understand is the ratio of reliability to cost.

To give a simplified example, let's say for the sake of argument a Fiat costs £7k versus £14k for a similar sized BMW. The Fiat's overall reliability is 91% and the BMW's is 95%.

But for the price of the BMW you could get two Fiats, use one and keep the other in the garage as a spare. That way you achieve virtually 100% reliability whereas spending that money on a BMW would only give 95% reliability.

Hence, in real terms Fiats are more reliable than BMWs on a £ for £ basis.
