    anyone driven Fiat's interpretation of 1.4 HiPo motor - the new 1.4TJet, at 120bhp ? If so, what did you think?

    Saw one, and didn't know what it was, but it looked nice (Bravo)....in the red that's on the ad on telly.

    I believe FIAT are going to stick in a 150BHP version of that engine into the new 500 Abarth - I'd love to have a go of that :)

    I don't know about the 120 bhp but I drove the 1.4 T-jet 150 Sport Bravo and that is a super car. Build quality and finish look to be a big step forward. I liked the handlng which felt very stable and settled at speed. The car also has great pickup with no noticable turbo lag ( 0-60 8.2sec ) and the 6 speed gearbox suits the car.

    I really hope this car is a success for Fiat :cool:

    €25k new for the 1.4 150bhp TJet Bravo is a bit expensive though imo. Should be a bargin second hand though.

    Agreed. It is the sport model though, so I don't know what goodies come with it. But even the Base 90BHP Bravo is €19k which is steep imho

    But as you suggest, good value at half that after two years :D
