My sister has just passed her driving test today and is wanting one of these.
Does anyone work for FIAT or know anything about them. How reliable they are even though they are only a year old.
She likes this colour.

i saw some boy racer ragging the shit out of one near my house, and it seemed to go quite well, thoe.. it was screaming.. pretty sure that car has never seen what it's like to be under 3000 rev's.. lol

i work for fiat/alfa, theyre actually quite reliable tbh better than alfas anyway, ive driven a 1.3 jtd and it went well enough, only annoying thing i can think of is the seatbelt buzzer when your not wearing your seatbelt, it wont shut up, they have just released a face lift range though i think and also 1.4 petrol turbo

Cheers for the help

No reflection on you but there customer service is said to be appalling along with the build quality of there cars.
What does quite reliable mean, there shite but not as bad as ppls think but still pretty much shite

How can you comment on a particular brands customer service? All the garages are franchised so it's down to ain individual dealership basis really.
I have the 1.3 Multijet which is really really good for what it is. It handles really well, it doesn't seem to fall apart, looks good and I've only had one problem with it - the electric window switch seems to have broken so I need it replaced
