    The Fiat Bravo T-Jet to be more specific. I've only just learned the existence of these motors. Are they any good? Has anyone ever driven or been driven in one?
    1.4 Turbo in a smallish car sounds good but would it being a Fiat just let everything down? They look kinda smart too.

    I am looking at these very closely too damokc! A 08 t jet can be got for peanuts! They are perfectly reliable don't let the fiat thing out you off. Do some research, read the parkers review on them. Make sure it's the 150bhp one though! The t jet engines are very good

    They have a look of an Alfa about them too.I would imagine they will be really really cheap in the future as Fiats don't hold value. They could be the new Glanza!! HAHA:D

    I hope not, I don't want any fiat to become a glanza esque car. They can be gotten about 3 grand cheaper than the 500 even though they cost alot more! I'm after a 1.4 fiat 500 but the cheapest I can find is about 8k :(

    They look great inside & out. Reliability wise I would say they have improved an awful lot since 10yrs ago. Ride quality is not as good as the focus from what I've heard particularly over harsh surfaces & bumps.

    If you can get one at a good price they would be a great used buy

    used to work in a fiat/alfa dealership. was dead excited when these boys got delivered!! ran to grab the keys for the two models for the showroom so i could set them on the floor. clicked the unlock button on the fob, went to open the door and the handle came off in my hand. the other one had a piece of trim that kept falling off the dash. tbh, fiat/alfa do not give a ****. you will always be playing russian roulete when buying one of their models. the tjet engine looks good on paper, but the power is only there higher up the revs. ride q. is bad too. looks are nice though. if you still want one i would strongly advise the 150 brake diesel. diesel engines are the only thing fiat/alfa seem to get right with any level of consistancy.
