2017 Fiat Tipo Estate Review - Maximum Bang For Close To Minimum Buck? - Car Keys

- The Fiat Tipo is available either as a five-door hatchback or as a Station Wagon estate, which boosts practicality considerably with a much larger 550 litre boot while only costing £1,000 or so extra.
Given that the Tipo is positioned as a budget option in the family car range, surely then it makes sense that if you want maximum bang for minimum buck the Tipo Station Wagon would be the one to go for, right?
That way you get a capable and cost-effective estate car that’ll do the job well provided you don’t expect too much from it; big car practicality for small car prices.

I bought an Estate with 1.6 diesel engine and manual gearbox. I am really fond off the car. Handles much better then all those German ones. Looks are great and the leather interior looks great and after 50.000 km in little more then one year is still like new. Fuel consumption always around 1 liter on 20 km. I recommend this car to everyone, much and much better then the general opinion of people who never stepped out of the accepted choices.
EvO-Racing congratulation for being a free man
I got the hatchback for the wife, and thought it was so good I bought the Estate for me. It drives well and feels 'solid' on the road. The 1.6 diesel engine is responsive and the dash is clearly presented. The 'info' system is adequate. Space wise, I'm 6' 2" and I can sit comfortably behind my front seat settings, so that's a bonus.
Like all cars it's not absolutely perfect, my auto wipers are just irritating, why don't they stick to ranges of intermittent wipes? I can't find the seat belt point easily as I'd like, and the arm rest is pointless for me as it's too low, ditch it or have a variable height one. Also, and I think this is for most FIATs the top gear isn't a real 'cruising' gear. The Tipo has 6, and 6th gear should drop the revs right down on motorway driving, but it really doesn't get any lower than 2k revs when it really should be heading for 1.5k for better fuel efficiency, like a Dacia Duster I had on holiday. All in all I think they're good cars, and I've driven a lot of FIATs. Worth a look, and especially good value if you can pick up a low mileage one from FIAT.
Nicely demonstrated how the rear seats will fold down. You were not bothered to lift the bench part up and after that fold the backrests, this way you would have had totally flat floor/ cargo area.
I think this is one of the best designed cars in its class today...Also,practicality and car handling are very good on the road
Funny how people reviews car these days. Fiat tipo is just what a car should be,practical and good price. Its delivers much of everything you need and not so much what of you don't need. Satisfied with mine.
I would buy this over škoda any time!
Fiat is best
In my country this car as second hand now has the same price as it was second hand just when it was 2-3 yers old... Back then it was worth it because the equivalent second hand Golf were almoast 2 times more money, but now the golf is like just 15-20% more expensive.
In what country is that Lounge level? In Sweden you can get leather seats and bigger 7" screen with automatic gearbox
Im curious as to why the UK gets only the small phone screen sized infotainment?
The bigger one is an option
the biggest 7 inch screen is now standard in the UK if you check the fiat website quite a lot of these reviews are out of date. Standard on easy plus upwards.
Top car
how about a comparison of the LPG version Tipo estate with the Dacia MCV LPG ?
Love soooo .....but miss a lot coz its not here in india
Ryan, were your hands very itchy in this review
Do you think the estate's worth the extra £1000?
it's cheaper than most of mid size hatch estates
is that irish accent
yes northern Irish I think
The Interior quality Is a disappointment as I think the size of Infortainment System should be a larger size and I wish Fiat had better soft materials rather than cheap ones
Jamie Pickles -stay at home if you want an extension to your living room. Large infotainment screens are a distraction (especially ones with ventilation controls). Soft touch surfaces don't make it "better".
loool dissappoinment? this is literally on of the cheapest car in the market and is the best ban gfor the buck
Jamie the answer to that is to spend more money on a better car.
In all aspects of life, there are sacrifices to make - you have to sacrifice your money to get better quality, or make your sacrifice in terms of quality to save money.
You’re a fool if you ever think you’ll get top quality for the cheapest price. Fiat wouldn’t be in business otherwise and that’s why you’re getting cheap materials in this car BECAUSE THE PRICE REFLECTS THE QUALITY you imbecile.
This car is an insult to the heritage of Tipo back in the mid 80's.
Dismal
I'd rather buy a second hand Superb.
ah yes, this retarded "rather second hand car" argument
You deserve it
