I have a 01 1.2 bravo and its been brilliant, the only fault that I've had is the wiper motor.

the 1.2 16V is a far superior motor than the 1.4 it replaced

From my experience via other people they're reliable. Get a llooked after one, and continue to look after it. Things like shocks and stuff tend to wear a little sooner than you may expect, but nothing major. The 1.2 Bravo's are streets ahead of the previous 1.4, both in engine terms and in build quality terms.

Has the same year and engine for about 5 years and that also was the only problem I had before I passed it on.
