Good Points
Stylish looking family hatch, good interior setup, simple controls, reliable engine, easily thrown around town with no parking blindspots.
Bad Points
Have had to replace gearbox and fit new clutch after 7K, same old problem with rear wiper motor, poor fuel consumption.
General Comments
Having put a new gearbox and clutch and then fitting an induction kit with a compliment of 15" rim alloys. this Fiat Brava 1.4SX family car now gets thrown about town harder, driven faster and keeps up with the 2.5ltr diesel 5 series bmw, and beats it on cornering speeds, with a driver of the same ability.
and this is a 1.4 petrol.
