Overall:
Before buying the Bravo I read almost every review I could lay my hands on to get some idea of what they had to say about it. I think most gave it the thumbs down for various reasons. But I road tested both the 1.7 deisel and the 1.4 petrol and on both the drive and comfort coupled with the interior layout pleased me and convinced me that this was still the car to buy. Almost a year later and I am still in love with the car. OK so it needs a few more cc's on hills but thats no big problem it does everything else as good as any other car and in some cases a lot better. Lots of people admire it because I think its a stand out car. It has that touch of class about it. I dont do a fantastic amount of miles but each time I drive it I enjoy the experience. Those who dont have one need to get one. The Fiat Bravo 1.4 Active Sport You Bet...

Plus Points:
On entering the showroom the 1.4 Active Sport in Marinello red took centre stage and I knew from that moment it was the car for me. It looked classy it stood out and it had style

Minus Points:
The 1.4 engine lets it down a bit on hills but if you make it work it does what you want it to. Another 200cc.s would make a world of difference
