fiat Bravo reviews by year of make: 2006 2007 2008 2009 Read all reviews
When it first entered production as a replacement for the successful but ageing Tipo model, the Fiat Bravo had a dual identity. The Bravo was also known as the Brava though there was a distinction between the two models – the Fiat Bravo was a three-door hatchback, whereas the Brava was a five-door hatchback. Production of the Fiat Bravo ran from 1995-2001 and this small family car was an instant hit, claiming the European Car of the Year title on its launch. There was a makeover of the design in 1999 before the Fiat Bravo was phased out and replaced by the Stilo in 2001. However, in 2007 the Fiat Bravo re-entered production this time dropping the Brava name completely.

I was slightly apprehensive about purchasing the Fiat, especially after reading the reviews on What Car, Top Gear etc. Let me tell you now this car is phenomenal, yes the steering does feel slightly light but this is a small issue when you consider the whole car. The build quality is fantastic, I did get caught out in thinking the build quality was questionable when I initially got the car as there was a persistent jingling sound. It turned out to be the keys hanging from the ignition, since then not a creak or groan. The car handles great if you have faith in the suspension it delivers in spades and it pulls like a train on the motorway. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending this car and it’s also nice to drive something out of the ordinary with some Italian flair. Don’t follow the crowd, turn a few heads and buy a Bravo Sport! I did and I love it :]

Car looked fantastic and immediately drew my attention. Paintwork was terrible had extreme case of orange peel! and was even missed on the front bumper. Pedals were too soft and blind spot was huge, ride was comfortable though. Seeing out the back window was a problem too, side windows were too low. Plenty of gadgets including climate control and cruise control, which was fantastic. Overall, this is quite average car which I wouldn’t fork out 12- 14k for.

The more I drive this car the more I like it. Very neat steering and smooth drive. Not bad looking either. I spend on average half my working day driving so wanted something that was comfortable and enjoyable to drive, whilst being affordable and the Bravo certainly fits the bill. No air con though in the 1.4 so only 4 stars but that really is nitpicking as this really is a good car.
