As a multi-purpose vehicle with Italian styling, the Fiat Idea is noted for its attractive exterior and versatile interior, with the original models including sliding and folding rear seats. The Fiat Idea was first built in 2004 and took its base from the Project 188 platform, which is most well-known from the second-generation Fiat Punto cars. There have been a wide range of both petrol and diesel engines to choose from in the Fiat Idea range with both five- and six-speed gearboxes. The Fiat Idea is particularly popular in South America where a crossover SUV was launched in 2005 known as the Idea Adventure.

Andrew Taylor, West Lothian (Linlithgowshire)

Fiat Idea 1.4 Active 2005

This is a very good looking car, quite nippy, yet gives excellent fuel consumption, 60+mpg easy on a long steady journey at 60mph or over. There are a few rattles, but nothing too bad. Only 1 fault which was quickly fixed by the dealer replacing a faulty battery. Family car, lots of space, good mpg and reliable (so far) would have another if they hadn’t stopped selling them in this country.

Fiat Idea 2007 1.4 Active 5d

Comfortable and quiet on long motorway journeys. I bought this car so the whole family would have plenty of room and I’m not dissapointed. Safe and solidly built. A good buy.
