2009 Fiat Doblo Cargo reviews

Fiat Doblo Cargo Cargo SX 1.3 75hp multijet 2009

Bought my Doblo with delivery miles (1k) last year, although the van was almost 2 years old it was a demonstrator with only 1000K on the clock in mint condition... it has the electric pack but no air con. the driving position is high up but with an awkward accel pedal which makes you leg and foot ache. Beware of the tiny 1.3 diesel, it is weedy and breathless and is no where near as economical as Fiat claim...if you drive in the middle or outside lane of the motorway expect around 35mpg which is appalling for such a small engine, uphill you will need to stir the gears and floor the accelarator to hold 70mph.. if you pootle along at 60 mph you will see around 47mpg at best. my advice is go for the bigger diesel engine, the van is way too big for such a tiny engine. Otherwise the little van is fun and a good workhorse, unlike the comment obove it does not qualify for the ’car derived’ status...it is over the weight limit so don’t get caught out!
