- Read the What Car? Fiat Bravo review bit.ly/yfqJJo
The Fiat Bravo brings some flair to its class - along with strong diesel engines and decent refinement. It looks stylish, and is cheap to buy and run.
The ride and handling disappoint, build quality is below par and rear vision is poor. To cap it all, depreciation is heavy.

Incredible car indeed. What a shame corruption has crept up everywhere in journalism.
I stopped reading car magazines years ago when it was clear they all suck off VW, BMW etc. Too much money invested into selling cars so journalism too open for corruption. Seconds into this video and they call the 1.4 gutless? And a basic VW Golf isn't?!
Had a 1.4 T-Jet 120 as a first car for a month or so now and this review is a joke. The rear visibility is fine and the cabin is very well put together and I've had no issues finding any of the switchgear. Such a harsh review, if anyone is looking at a Bravo don't let this put you off, you won't be disappointed.
Formulozza is insurance cheap ?
How was insurance
@@hollygould855 i have fiat bravo 1.9 150 hp the insurance very expensive also the out gift
Fiat bravo I have had for 6 years I love the car, I have a 1.4 petrol and it's the fastest 1.4 iv ever owned. Had the fiat 6 years and apart from changing, brakes, tyres, calipers and exhaust along with paying mot and tax, iv never had a problem with it. The review doesn't at all match my experience with the car poor review.
Owner of a Fiat Bravo tjet 120 hp for 11years with 102.00kms.Other than normal service and 3battery replacements only a light bulb on the rear light,And that’s all. Such a bad review since all plastics are in perfect condition and nothing close to that review..
This review was sucked up from your fingers. Cheap plastic, small interior? You should see the new Golf VII.
Definitely not subscribing.
i owned a Fiat Bravo Tjet since 2007 & every moment behind the wheel is exciting!
i agree that resale value isn't the best... BUT who says i'm selling my Bravo?!?
i disagree that fittings felt loose & cheap! i actually found the Golf's fittings cheap & boring.
Let's face it... most British car reviews hates Fiat or Italian cars - except Ferrari or Lambo =p
considering a hatch that has nice flair & good fuel economy... that Fiat Bravo is a serious car to look for.
I've bought a T-Jet back in 2008. It looks great, rides great, feels great, never had a breakdown in 14 years and 350000 km. I'm an oversized adult (187 cm and 110 kg) but the interior has never put my size in any sort of question, and I never had to leave somebody behind for short or long trips due to lack of space, as long as they were no more than 5 people. 14 years later I have no peculiar sounds in the cabin, everything seems to fit perfect, looks as day 1 and its perfectly aligned. I've been driving 150 km per day to work and back for more than 10 years (I'm now retired), in excessive speeds (160-170 km/p.h.) safely and comfortably and never had problems making a corner. Consumption has never been an issue as it was quite reasonable at about 9 lits/100km for my style of driving (it can go easily under 7, if you're not harsh with the gas pedal). Reselling value is not a problem, since I don't feel like selling this beauty in the near future. And that comes from someone who owns cars since 1977, and never kept a car for more than 5 years. Most of the cars I've owned before this one were either German or Japanese. I don't know who or why has published the above BS, but whoever that might be , doesn't have a clue.
I bought one 1.9jdt, second hand before an year. I'm very pleased with the car. It's on 170 000km and I did 10k, no issues. It's really great for the city - low fuel consumption (< 7l /100km) only urban commute, while very dynamic. And I like the light handling, which here is criticized.. it's really pleasant for my daily driving on the bumpy roads of our city.
If you putting it in italian supercar class, then yes this car is a bit lack luster, but it beats everything in its own price range easily
I just test drove a 1.4 T-Jet version of this today
This lady DOES NOT have a clue what she is talking about!
The car is brilliant to drive. The performance is fantastic. The cabin design is classy and a lovely place to be. The handling is fine (this was over below par roads and over speed humps) and there is PLENTY of room in the back!. I'm 6'2 and the garage fella had plenty of space behind me
A ridiculous review slating this car unnecessarily!
I have just today bought my first ever fiat... the 2.0l multijet diesel 165bhp. its like poo off a stick... upgrading from a honda civic 1.3 to this beauty is immense. I agree with all of you when you say you dont know what this woman is going on about. The style is very nice, the interior is classy and sleak. Maybe they only tested the very basic model?!
this is an incredible quality price car, I have one,bought 2 years ago almost new for Eur 12k. Poor quality interior? of course it does not have same quality of a Eur70k mercedes,madame.
this is anti review and has to be removed.. wonder how fiat didn't react on this yet..
i have my Bravo Dynamic since 2008 and still loving it, good looking, reliable, fast enough and plenty of space, and what was said about poor interior quality is a big joke, 5+ years later i have no regrets about buying a Bravo
the problem with any fiat is that in corners you feel insicure like a boat on water...like in any moment the car will lose grip and role and i'm talking about low speed...
Bravo is the only Fiat i ever drove, and it is solid on the street
+Luca'sJokes wtf? It's not a track machine indeed but... for a normal driving it's absolutely fine. I really don't have any complaints about this. Also, the supple ride is actually an advantage if you often commute on a bumpy roads (like me).
Do you still have your Bravo? I'm learning to drive soon and the Bravo is going to be my first car.
Funny, I used to work in car rentals, and the 10 yr old Bravo 1.9 Sport I just bought is nicer inside than a lot of 2017-2018 VWs, (except for lack of touch screen nav but that can be remedied with a cheap android head) It has more power and still looks better than 95% of what’s on the road. It’s also passed every MOT it’s had. I think 3 stars is an insult. Still, kept the resale price low so good for me.
This car is amazing. The only mistake from Fiat is to not have an Abarth version
They do I have it =)
There arw Abarth version which i think are 250bhp. As of 2014 there were only 15 in the uk.
i have the fiat bravo abarth version
Puntos and Lineas are loved by Fiat owners in India. I so much am in awe of the Bravo which is a segment higher. It's a perfect car.
Such bias ratings. Wrong view review, totally.
Avadra Kedavra the review.. !
*Avada
That is a Bias review... I love my Bravo!!
My only complaint, as with all Fiats is why the hell can't you open the fuel hatch from the inside!!
I've got the 1.9 multijet sport and love it. the switch gear confusing, what planets she on? I don't have a problem with the interior it's a nice place to be. good car all round and hopefully getting mine remapped to 185bhp and 400nm and averaging 55mpg what's not to love?
Review the sport model, body roll is reduced, better exterior style and with the use of a sport button the steering becomes firmer and throttle becomes more responsive. Interior is fine.
The ride is a bit hard and even more so with the sport model. Leg room in the back is very tight. But at release date it had better interior than its rivals, a good standard bluetooth system and stand out of crowd looks. Oh and its got decent MPG for its power, again compare to its rivals on release its great.
ive just bought a dynamic eco for the wife and the car is fantastic,i have no idea what this woman is on about,build quality is excellent as is the handling,plenty of leg room way more than the saab 93 we traded in.she is so wrong about this car.
i have a bravo t-jet my review its a BIT different: a lot of space for every one and every thing in the car especially for people in the back the interior its just perfect excellent quality and very pretty excellent engine that its very powerful but very conformable when shift down because he didn't brake the car aggressively. EXCELLENT CAR
I had one of these cars to rent a few weeks back. It was a 2010 1.6 turbo diesel. I agree with a few of the comments and disagree. The only thing I wasn’t to keen on was the way the car wonders a little, and lack of feed back in the steering, and I wasn’t to keen on the gear change but I think that could be down to it being a old rental car.
I liked the interior styling and to be honest it solid inside. The mpg on the car I drive was very good, i am sure I was getting an average of 55mpg.
I have done some filming of the car and hopefully I can make an in-depth tour soon :)
Hmmm...Bravo got brilliant verdict in the German AutoBild magazine s 100 000 km review. I Use to have a Stilo, and not even that was in any way less refined than the competitors. Reviewers expect luxurycar standards from a basic car. Just because it is Italian.
I am considering getting one soon,it seems all the comments are in favour of the car,thank god,it looks like they got it all wrong,anti fiat I'd say,great looking car and fiat's quality,build and reliability have come a long way in recent years
james fitzharris Well, to calm you down I can tell you German car magazine Auto Bild has done a long duration test of the Bravo, and they gave it a 1, the best grade possible. And German auto journalists usually favour German brands very strongly.
I confirm, happy owner for 12 years now and it still is perfect

The review is probably fair in some ways if you bought new it was an expensive car but second hand you can get decent 09 plates for a couple grand an are hard pushed to beat the quality for that kinda money. Comments about interior are wrong I think, that was one of the things that sold it to me I liked the inside it's better than for e.g. a Ford/Skoda similar priced vehicles I looked at and it felt sturdy an still does for the price. The steering is nice and light I don't think it's artificial and if it is it works and I can do it with one finger so do I want more effort not really. It does have body lean in corners but I like that. It is a bit tight in the back but only because I'm 6 ft 1 and have my seat right back but people can still squeeze in behind me. Overall it's a nice lowkey car not owned by nobheads/not thrashed second hand with good economy.
We've got one, and it's the best car ever!
Had a bravo for a year now, didnt know you could adjust the steering wheel lol
I was about to write a comment, but I am pleased to see that already many owners already pointed out the main mistakes and sometimes ridiculously biased "scores" of this review. Today the car is not on sale of course, but I have been using my Fiat Bravo 1.6 multijet for 12 years and I couldn't be happier. Great value, confortable, maintenance as minimal as it gets. This reviewer should really get the facts straight (or maybe change job?). My review regarding this review: inaccurate and biased
This car is gorgeous!
I love this car, it's perfect in any way, I haven't had any problems with it for those 10 years of ownership, plus it has that Italian charm, which golf or other models are lacking.
Confusing Switch gear, and none of the interior panels line up? Think you need to go to spec savers love!
this review is not fear..i have a bravo and it is nice car
My wife bought the Fiat Bravo and driving it is a pleasure - this above review really does it no favours. I think it's a superb car with oodles of punch, it's like driving a go-kart!
How bad is the body lean?
I have the 150 Bhp sport version, I got it 2 years ago, and for it's money it's fantastic and it stands very well against bigger and more expensive cars, however there are a few small thinks that could have been done better by Fiat but get it this way there's no perfect car out there and as for this review the woman must be an alien or something the review is crap..!
Similar story to their standard Mitsi Lancer review. Great user reviews but got a crap review from these guys to the point it almost put me off buying one... luckily I drove one after all this and instantly fell in love
i love my car fiat bravo i love italian cars italian cars the king
8 years after and this review is still bullshit. That's some pretty solid work
So the compact car class is the class where excellence is the norm... what is the norm in the premium saloon car class then? Stupid editors make for even more stupid reviews.
I disagree with the review, this car is the best in its class except the annoying cup holders are too small to hold anything
Wrong in so many ways! The Bravo is a quality ride and has one of the best reliability rates in germany. But she´s right with the style...
Oh... lucky you... I think this is the sexiest car Fiat has ever built... but not as cute as the 500 though :-P
why is she saying that ?? i just bought one today!
I don't agree, I had mines for 6 years and it was a brilliant car and I didn't notice it feeling cheap, things not lining up and average quality, review isn't giving bravo proper respect👎
What the f is Golf's sheer class? Toyota's fuel consumotion is a fact. Sheer class is VW's paying journalists.
I have one the Bravos Sportin Mexico (Theres only 90 bravos in te country) & trust me is a great car!!! Look my videos in my channel. One of the best cars! #hellyeah
Dear madam plz go to sleep I easly understood ur tiredness
