Fiat Stilo Abarth 2.4 Review

Good Points
Performance. I like the styling. So many useful features. Compared notes with the owner of a new top of the range Audi down the pub, and beat him for gadgets. Brillient.

Bad Points
Lack of leg room behind passenger seat. (Leather) seats could be a bit more supportive laterally. Non locking fuel cap.

General Comments
I've owned my Fiat Stilo Abarth 2.4 for about a year, and I think its a great car. Its a 2003 5 door, which is not as nice looking as the 3 door, but the suspension is a little less go-cart like, whilst still being on the sporty side, and its loads more practiacal for ferrying the folks around. Great performance, and the only reliability issue I have had is having to have a broken front spring replaced. Otherwise its been great. All the electrical gadgets, (of which there are loads!), are all working ok. I think that Italian cars are all about wanting something different, and a bit quirky. I love the selespeed box, and the fact that no-one really knows what the car is, until I start pulling away from them! Good fun, cheap for what it is, and under rated is my conclusion
