davenewellhome Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 They drive pretty well although the suspension can feel a little soft and soggy if you've been used to Fiats firmness. If treated to regular oil and filter changes they can go on to interstellar mileages. Generally pretty well put together. Engine parts can be expensive though, injectors can be as much as £200 a piece so I'm told and there's five of the buggers. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolandrat Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I have owned 3 and couldn't fault any of them. BOMB PROOF 100% reliable. One was a 5 cyl naturally asperated, one a 316cdi and one a 312cdi, and never a transmission judder either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Grumpy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 As I have said before I drive one converted as a small bus. Mechanicals are very good, over 400K kilometers and still going strong. BUT the electronics are very dodgy especially the ABS and traction control, and very very expensive to replace the cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
