1.3 16v Multijet Dynamic 5dr Hatchback

Tempting fate but simply great little car what small faults put right under guarantee FIAT very good after care

As above tempting fate but this car has been simply great,what little faults broken wing indicator moulding broke at assembly fixked no problem and rubber ball joint frayed, bottom strut unit replaced no cost no problem from FIAT,their after care back up brilliant.

I wax oiled this car the same day that we got it from the dealer and every nut bolt etc that was under the bonnet done with dinitrol wax,we intend to run this car into the ground,35000 miles on the clock used for the commute to work and general distance work
I service the oil and filters my self using fully synthetic and changed every 6000 miles
oil is cheep when you shop around.
This car sails through the MOT its had no faults or notifications, but i am having breaks serviced and a full eye ball end of the month at my local independent garage who i trust implicitly,with any work that i do not do.
This car will tow our trailor tent with a towing capacity of 900kg yes FIATS figures our tent comes in at just over 520kg it pulls it like a train, going up telegraph hill with ease.
The engine is chain driven camshafts no belts to worry about hence the regular oil changes keep things nice and fresh.
The only down side so far and this was my fault a little rust on the steel around the sliding roof,
now treated and dinatroled waxed slows it down but once its in that is all you can do.
The battery is just starting to get a little bit lazy but the car is now coming up for 6 years old its to be expected.
Tyres on the front need replacing at 1700 miles, not fully illegal down to 2mm time to change them though.
front wheel drive diesel vechicles benefit from not having the steering wheel dragged hard over to full lock it put strain on driveshafts when stopped or on the move,gentle and moving is best stops gaiters splitting and the drive shafts knocking out.
This car never thrashed hard its driven easy but quick enough to keep up with the traffic.
Thirty pounds road tax cheep insurance go for one no regrets.
