    I recently bought a Fiat Bravo 1.4 T-Jet 16v from 2008 and I love it. Bought it at a dealer for 3900 euros and it has loads of features. Like parking sensors, panoramic sunroof that opens etc. Couldn't be happier. I did remove the Bravo badging on the back of the car and many people can't believe that it is a Fiat Bravo when they see it. Got it in black with the red brake pads.

      Yeah! the only issue i've had is a grounding one mentioned in this video! The EGR valve has caused some little issues but a thrashing soon sorts them out!

    I own a Bravo since 2008 and never had major problems with it(now it has 220000 Kms in it), or nothing that could be avoided with care. For example it doesn't likes cheap H1 light bulbs. But thats about it, it is very reliable and fun little car and a joy driving long distances :). Btw and i own the 1.4 L 90 Hp and still getting speeding tickets every year :D

    I have owned Rosso Maranello (yes, that's the actual name of the color code) Fiat Bravo for two and half years. It's the sport model with T-jet engine and 150 hp. So far absolutely zero problems with it, it's fun to drive and cheap maintenance costs. 140 000 km's on the clock, the more I drive it the more I found myself liking this car! Relatively cheap, too.

    Heb exact dezelfde Bravo gehad als in dit filmpje. Zeer onderschatte auto. Zeer mooi, fantastisch geluidsysteem (interscope) , zeer snel na een chiptuning beurt, ongelooflijk betrouwbaar /degelijk en erg ruim.
    De auto rijdt wel wat licht en elastisch, maar dat mag de pret niet drukken.

    Anyone considering it: do it. 10x better than anything else I could get for the price in my area. 150 bhp for the same money as a same-age 70 bhp Polo. 0-60 in 8.6. Really nice sports interior (except for peeling steering wheel, but I just peeled the rest of it off and it looks fine). 17" black alloys, sharp brakes, sharp looks - it still looks better than 90% of the cars on the road today. Solid MOT history. Turbo whistle to warm your heart. It's a lovely car, massively underrated by reviewers, but loved by people who own them.
    For reference: 2008 Bravo 1.9 MJet Sport, £2100, bought in December 2018 with 71,000 miles.

    I missed out on one of these, I went into a car sales and was looking at one, the salesman was giving it the old one two, you get the picture, then he comes out with "build quality as good as a golf" I said oh dear and never bought. Just couldn't get past the insane amount of rust I had just seen on a golf the day before in a supermarket car park.

    My mum had the old fiat brava and my friends mum had the old bravo. They were good cars. I have always had a soft spot for the bravo MK2, whenever I see one in the UK I always take a second look. I think they are better looking than the Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
    They also seem pretty competent in every category, perhaps they are secretly better than the equivalent VW Golf or Ford Focus of the same era. The 1.9 and 2.0 diesel can be remapped to 200+bhp. The 1.6 diesel can be remapped to 150bhp.

    The 1.4 MultiAir ones do need Oil changes all 15'000km (only use Petronas SELENIA 5W-40 K Pure Energy Multi Air) also change the MultiAir oil filters each time or your risk replacing the MultiAir unit. Still the advantage of the 1.4 MultiAir is the better C635 gearbox. The TJET ones have an Opel M32 gearbox, that can be problematic, if not properly serviced. On the other hand, the TJET's consume less fuel than MultiAir ones. If you are looking for a Diesel one, either pick the 2.0L 165bhp one the 1.6L 120bhp (same as Alfa Romeo Giulietta ones). Avoid the 1.9L Opel engine. Also check spings on early models 2007-2008. In general is it a very good car and very reliable as others already stated.
