it is a ‘honest’ car, I drove it a week through Italy and France and the turbo asskick is a pleasure, fast enough without spending too much for petrol. My cousin is a fanatic Vw golf VI owner and the german car is still a little above for general quality, but unlike in the past Fiat jumped up quite close even still not equal to Vw, and Fiat engines are always funnier than vw ones at the same hp power. But I would never buy these cars after flying on my beloved Civic Type R, no need for turbo with this outstanding engine!

Oh, btw, I only got to know the exciting package of Bravo GT after reading July’s Autocar Mag. Damn…someone should had told me this earlier.

I have been looking for a replacement for my face-lifted Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 after six years of bitter-sweet memories together. It’s still a beauty to look at and still very fun to drive around. The killer-look of shinny black with red leather inetrior, tuned-up 170plus HP means I can kick the asses of most ordinary Japanese and Korean cars, and of course the however-modified national cars. I am really reluctant to let it go for the market price of sub RM50k but somehow I needed a change.

The 159 2.2 JTS is finally here and seems to be the natural replacement. But I had decided not worth taking up a RM140k loan to get one after parking mine next to it; they look almost identical with similar expectations.

So I have a ‘nice’ problem of not knowing what new car to buy with a budget of RM150k. Surely, with that amount of money, there are many makes and models to choose from: 307, Ford Escape, Wish, Stream, CRV, Civic and so on. I am sure they are all nice, practical and probably with high resell value after years of ownership. But they all have one thing in common – lack of characters and very boring to drive around.

If I was that practical and rational, I would have swapped for a Toyota Camry 2.0 two years ago. It’s big and spacious, very mid-size ‘Tauke’ looking, almost bullet-proof build quality and most impressively – real cool air from the aircond vent.

Fiat Bravo GT 1.4T seems to have a package with almost all the answers I was looking for. Frankly, I will settle for a six-speed manual for any car that is not fitted with twin-clutch gearbox. Those 4-speed or 5-speed auto are for people just wanted to drive from Point A to B. The so-called semi auto +/- gears fitted in most luxury automobiles are just ‘feel-good-to-have’ toys for owners who probably never use again after two weeks of ownership.

I am going to test drive one very soon and hopefully it will convince me to call off my dogs and end the search. .

Not nice at all.High equipment levels but super bad depreciation in value.

Car looks bad with all those gaps and all.

Not worth at all at RM 135k.Civic 2.0 is the wise choice.

Car is so cramp and small and there is only one service centre.

No no for me…

the exterior is quite outdated & the meter panel is kinda weird n looks confusing…

I love fiat car. i am owner of ullyse,weekend maria, coupe, doblio and bravo 1.4 GT. They are all lovely car especially the diesel JTD. I need to pay a bit of attention on fiat”s car. They are very sensitive. I need to put the car under shade. When it rain, I make sure the rain water will not wet my interior bcos the plastic can take the rain. Change engine oil every 8k km.

When i come to service i never go to torino motor. I wonder why torino provide second hand spare parts for customer. Once my car go to torino for service, they are more problems on my car. You can guess why.

Fiat car are nice car. You have to get a trust worthy sevice guy to maintain your car. I am still looking for that guy. Ha Ha

If a car can stir your senses, or make you feel that extra bit special getting from point A to point B, then all things considered, it’s worth going throught all the mud…

Forgot to add, I personally think RM30k (correct??) for a VIVA is cheap but not worth the money!

But then again, it’s the price bracket that many could afford to pay hence you call it cheap…
