It is tempting to describe the Fiat Sedici as the best of both worlds as it combines the manufacturing expertise of both Fiat and Suzuki. This mini-crossover SUV is noted for its performance and is considered a 4x4, hence the name – Sedici means ‘sixteen’ in Italian. The Fiat Sedici was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2006 and was produced at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Hungary. It is also sold as the Suzuki SX4 and the Lancia Pangea and is seen as an alternative to most mini MPVs which have a box-like appearance. In 2006, the Fiat Sedici was the official car of the Winter Olympics.

Fiat Sedici 1.6 Eleganza 2006

I bought my Sedici used one year old. I love the looks and the fact it offers something different to endless Golfs, Vauxhall’s and Fords out there. To be honest, it does not have the chunky quality build as "proper" Fiats. Some of the other reviews are unfair to Fiat as the car is built by Suzuki at a Suzuki factory, so there is no point saying you wont consider another Fiat product because of problems with the Sedici build. I will keep mine for a while yet and get the most out of it. Somehow the noisy 1.6 engine seems to be getting better the more run in it is. I have also had no problems with the gear change.

Fiat Sedici SX4 1.6 GLX 5dr 2007

A decent enough car for the price but there are some downsides such as engine noise, which I do find a little irritating on long journeys. However, it is well built and comfortable and does offer a lot of interior space. The fuel economy isn’t as good as I expected and general running costs have taken the shine off owning a new car.

Fiat Sedici 1.9 JTD Eleganza 2007

I had this car for less than 1 year. I loved it initially, but after a few months, I was very concerned about depreciation and build quality. The thing tumbled in value enough to make me sell after 9 months. I had to cut my losses before the thing was worthless! Its nice to drive if noisy and not too bad off road. However, while it was well screwed together, after a few months problems began to appear - very stiff 6 speed box ( 2nd gear impossible to use when cold), the engine ran very rough when hot in traffic jams, and the dash/seats were getting very rattly. I won’t buy another Fiat.

Fiat Sedici 1.6 Eleganza 5dr

I wanted a 4x4 but not a great big hulking thing so the Sedici is absolutely perfect for me and is genuinely a good off roader. The interior is simple but comfortable and my son and dog love travelling in it. The price was excellent too. The one compromise I’ve had to make for all of this is the engine noise, bit louder than I’d like to be honest but it’s not deafening and you do get used to it.
