    Buy something Japanese, a Fiat of this age will break your heart and your wallet. And stop killing bunny rabbit's will you? What did they ever do to you, it's not like they can shoot back.

    If it's HGT it won't be 1.4. S or SX maybe. anyway it's about 1300 too expensive.

    ISn't the HGT a 2.0 5 cylinder?

    Overpriced.

    I recently saw a 1996 Bravo/Brava on www.adverts.ie selling for around €500.

    Avoid the 1.4 12v engine, go for the 1.2 16v if you must have a Bravo/Brava.

    As was said above, the 1.4 versions are best avoided. For a small few € more you should get a 1.2 16v one that has a better interior and far better engine. Think they came out in 99.
    It's not a HGT if it's 1.4. The HGT is a 155bhp 2 litre 5 cyl. Good car the HGT.

    Might be a 1.8 GT, they were available here in Ireland.

    As said already though get a 1.2 16v 80bhp, had a Brava with that engine and girlfriend at same time had a Bravo with that engine and neither of us had any grief with them. Very underated cars these !

    just buy something else, they're a waste of money, and out of fashion. It was ok when I bought one, but not any more ;)
