Xiaobravo Neutral Newbie January 2, 2013 Share January 2, 2013 I have recently noticed the increased presence of this small Italian family.Fiat brand was labelled unreliable but till date, after 2yrs of ownership, I beg to differ.I have waves of gesture on the road from ferocious Bravos & hot looking Puntos.Anyone booked a new Bravo despite the hike in COE?Hope to see more joining our family Ciao ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer 4th Gear January 2, 2013 Share January 2, 2013 it is indeed good looking..but to the extent of attracting waves of gestures? lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwinedine 1st Gear January 2, 2013 Share January 2, 2013 Its most bang for buck car in my honest opinion Cheap road tax & insurance... Moderate maintainence... Doesn't drink as much as I expect it to for a 1.3ton car... Superb pick-up and very torquey for a 1.4t car.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenomi 2nd Gear January 2, 2013 Share January 2, 2013 Bravo maintainence is not cheap given all the feedback I gathered from owners of the vehicle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mightymito 1st Gear January 2, 2013 Share January 2, 2013 increased presence? fiat only sold 24 cars last year 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiaobravo Neutral Newbie January 2, 2013 Author Share January 2, 2013 I supposed more from resale market. Seldom see Fiat otr before but recently tend to see almost everyday. When I said wave gesture, I meant a friendly wave from fellow Fiat drivers. But some just look straight 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwensilvz 1st Gear January 2, 2013 Share January 2, 2013 it's a great 2nd hand car to buy! considering the OMV, depreciation, etc, it's the most wu hua one! You're paying the same for probably an altis but you get - higher OMV - kick-ass pick up and top speed. can easily overtake even 2.0l cars and I was able to be on par with the basic model cayenne and close up the gap with wrx at top speed up north. - cheap road tax - cheap maintenance. Having owned Vios and WRX before, servicing (even major) cost is comparable with Vios. - Made in Italy - Comes with the option of panoramic roof 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwensilvz 1st Gear January 2, 2013 Share January 2, 2013 i agree in terms of the selespeed transmission. just like VW first few batches of DSG. but there's always manual version! more power, more fun! other than transmission issue, other parts are just normal wear and tear and i doubt there are any issues with the 1.4 turbocharged engine so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightymito 1st Gear January 2, 2013 Share January 2, 2013 altis is more reliable than any other fiat models the bravo is 155bhp, comparable to a 2L NA and 230NM torque, comparable to a 2.4L NA. And with high omv ... how to compare to altis. For a second hand 'hot' car, I think its the best bang for the buck 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contax 1st Gear January 2, 2013 Share January 2, 2013 Yes the T-JET model is fun with manual transmission. The stock ride is a bit 'soft' for my liking but will do better with enhanced suspension. Maintenance is as comparable to any nippon rides with information gathered from the local fiat forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiaobravo Neutral Newbie January 2, 2013 Author Share January 2, 2013 I'm looking to upgrade from my Fiat GP to Bravo too. What for? Try the Guilietta or Mito, since u want to change your ride. I would give Alfa a shot, wont try Fiat again. Not that its bad but there is always something better ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
