A 2nd variant of the Bravo GT has been unveiled for the Malaysian market. Yes, we’re talking about the Fiat Bravo GT, not the other Bravo GT back from the 1990s.
This version comes with an automated manual version of the 6-speed gearbox called the Duologic gearbox instead of a proper slushbox, which means its a regular manual but with a robotised clutch to do all the shifting for you. For this, the Bravo GT manual’s RM 135,000 OTR without insurance price tag gets bumped up to RM 145,000.
The original Bravo GT manual (with 150 PS at 5,500rpm and 206Nm of torque at 2,250rpm) used to look attractive before the 308 Turbo came about, now it actually feels a little pricey considering another European turbocharged C-segment hatch is only pegged at RM 111,000 (though its CBU versus CKD), though this is expected to increase in price soon slightly, but will come with an upgraded equipment level as well.
Each has its own charms of course, but I say, it would be terrific if that extra equipment that’s coming with the 308 Turbo is the glass roof from the 308 GT as it does wonders to the cabin ambiance.

emmmm……..
i wish they sell it in Indonesia..
:D:D
i'm kinda had enough with Japanese car… the Korean looks more fresher with their European-approach styling…
regarding shahzane inquiry about the 308 THP aka 308 Turbo; the strong rumour circulating here is that the price will increase slightly (RM3~5K?) due to addition of new extra equipment. its been said that new batch of THP (the 1st batch already sold out!, only the VTi got ready stock) will add the marvelous panoramic glass roof.
I 've sitted in a 308 GT (that have such glass roof) during a test drive, to sit in a car that have such glass on top of the roof is really a great experience. very very nice, airy, spacious ambience and totally change & enhance the way rear passenger (especially) enjoy the journey.
you now have a reason to sit at the back!
oh.. bravo is such a nice car to look at.
but european review say either the ride or handling doesn't give the car any justice.
if it true than that a total waste coz this car looks the part, just that 308 Turbo are simply the better buy given the huge saving / price differences of more than RM35,000 (manual OTR) and now more than RM45,000 for the AMT OTR. but compared to a few years ago, what Fiat is asking for the Bravo GT is quite reasonable for a CBU (cheaper?).
still one of my fav car..for 1.4 with 150bhp..this is a pocket rocket. but too bad, no ckd version for fiat. those who want to buy fiat, is ppl who needs cheaper 'ferrari'..hahaha..or else they'll choose 308T.
For those out there who havent test drive 308 turbo yet, plz move your ass and test it..you'll love it!
this car is even better than the 308
waaa…intermilan.are you a peugeot salesman?hehe..anyway,i do like the 308 Turbo. i have test drive it too.don't mind the increase in price as long as the additional equipments are worth it. what else will be added besides the panoramic roof?a built in gps unit would be really great
Agreed with Paul and Intermilan on the 308 Turbo as I went to see the car personally. The cabin ambiance of that car is top notch (must be the glass roof effect)!! I'll prefer to in the 308 Turbo though but sad I couldn't give any comment on it's ride. The salesperson that day said no 308 Turbo test unit available lor. Sigh!
Still, Bravo is also a very nice looking car as I saw one beside me stop at the traffic light. 145k…quite a lot but understand as it's a conti car. Tapi…with that money boleh rembat Integra DC5 jugak kan? Or better still…the 308 Turbo if you desire conti cars! Well, it's up to certain individual taste…cheers!
prefer da manual version
cheers!
I'll probably wait for 3 years time and get it at 2nd hand,by that time only pay RM40k?? for such a car?
