    Hi lads,

    I know that there arent many fans around here of the fiat punto because of it's notorious reliability etc. but I want to know if the same goes for the Bravo? Example of what i'd be interested in:

    Also appreciate any comments about bravos in general.

    Cheers.

    Did you have it from new? We've had 3 FIATs now....none of which have given one single ounce of trouble (clutch cable snapped on one of them and that's it!)

    Hi mate,

    No i didnt it was a 98 had it last yr and the yr before. I think the only thing that went wrong with mine was the ignition but it only cost 150 quid or so

    Yeah I was almost definite on getting a punto but after seeing bravos I dont see why I would go for the punto. I mean the bravos manlier lucking (:D) and you seem to get a better, newer car with lower mileage than what you would get in a punto of the same price.

    Im just trying to find the catch, theres always a catch...

    I had a 1997 bravo, it was a 1.4 12v which was thirstier and marginally less powerful than the 1.2 16v. Apart from normal servicing it needed a new clutch at 80k miles (hardly unusual on a petrol car), which I got replaced at a main dealers for €350 including an oil and filter change as well, and a suspension bushing replaced for the NCT. The one criticism I'd have of them is that the steering is very light and does not provide enough feedback from the road.
