New fiat bravo, just shooting my self in the foot?

Hi all,

So thinking of buying a new car in the new year (second hand) and the new Bravo has caught my eye. I suppose maily as you can get them for next to nothingwith hardly any milage on them too.

Thing is, I own the old version of the bravo at the moment, and to say its given me heartache is an understatment, but I like how the car drives.

So how is the new bravo, have they ironed out the faults does anyone know? electrics was always a biggie with Fiat, Maybe the price is that low for a reason?

What think ye?

Market is different than it was in the 90's. plenty stylish alternatives around for similar money.

How much are you getting the car for and what year is it?

The new Bravo is probably the best looking car in that class. Build quality is good these days, should be no reliability issues. What engine you thinking of?
What year was your old Bravo? The older 1.4 in the old model were crap alright, the newer 1.2 was many times better!

If you are doing average mileage the car has a big advantage over many in the class as it has a 4 year/100,000 km manufacturer warranty. For someone doing average mileage, that is twice the warranty that they'd get on a Focus or Golf.

I have the 01 1.2 80 sx bravo at the moment.

I like the look of the Bravo and to be honest I wouldnt be travelling too much, prob average about 8 - 9000 miles a year and as i say, i do like how the car drives. I wouldnt be too worried about a resale value on the car, its more a reliability issue for me I suppose.

I was looking at the 1.4 t-jet multi sport in the new bravo.
