  Fiat 500L Cross 2017 Road Test 1 Jun 2017 (roadtest)
  For 2017 the FIAT 500L has been refreshed with a restyled front and rear and a more attractive, technologically updated interior with all the latest generation of connectivity. There are three versions: the 500L (in Pop or Lounge trim), the 500 Cross (that replaces

  Fiat Tipo Station Wagon (2016 - 2021) (Reviews)
  better than no touchscreen at all - just about. You can also get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but only if you go for one of the later models, so it’s worth checking if you’re buying used. There’s nothing outstanding or exciting about the Fiat Tipo Station Wagon

  Fiat 500 2015 Facelift Road Test 14 Jul 2015 (roadtest)
  No one is in any doubt that the FIAT 500 saved FIAT. So, after 8 years of bringing a smile to the streets and 1.5 million sold, a new FIAT 500 had to be exactly right. All kinds of tweaks were tried: Lowered rooflines. Elongated headlights. Restyled hatchbacks. Five

  Fiat 500L MPW 2013 Road Test 10 Jul 2013 (roadtest)
  The FIAT 500L MPW and Trekking are two further examples of how a successful name is used to sell cars. The truth is, the 500L bears as much resemblance to a FIAT 500 as a MINI Countryman does to a MINI

  Fiat Punto TwinAir 2012 Road Test 25 Jun 2012 (roadtest)
  By adding ‘Evo’ to the name of its Grande Punto hatchback, FIAT meant ‘evolved’ rather than giving it some FQ ridiculous power output. Martin Gurdon tested that car here . And I

  Fiat 500 TwinAir 2010 Road Test 26 Oct 2010 (roadtest)
  I’ve driven the future. And it’s probably my future, too, because I’m thinking of replacing my FIAT 500 1.2 with one. The FIAT 500 TwinAir is the greatest leap forward in engine technology for 20 years. A team of FIAT engineers led

  Fiat 500C Multijet 2009 Road Test 30 Jun 2009 (roadtest)
  Last January, as 360,000 people have done since, I liked the FIAT 500 so much I bought one. And my little car has been a stylish standby. It didn’t do much work during its first year because I had a long-term test car and scores more cars to drive

  Fiat Bravo Eco 2008 Road Test 7 Jun 2008 (roadtest)
  , and now FIAT with its new Bravo 1.6 Multijet. These days, instead of offering performance none of us can legally use, manufacturers put their finest minds to work on reducing CO2 and increasing economy. I’m currently running a Ford Focus ECOnetic that is turning

  Fiat Panda 100HP 2007 Road Test 8 Feb 2007 (roadtest)
  I’m a Panda fan. I like the Panda 1.1 Active. I like the Panda diesel. I like the Panda 4x4. So why did the indisputably cute Panda 100HP not quite push all my buttons? It looks terrific. Like a souped-up small FIAT should. A basic, upright tiny utility car

  Fiat Grande Punto 2006 Road Test 5 Feb 2006 (roadtest)
  Back in the 1970s, FIAT’s advertising strategy was summed up in one word: “brio”. Every advertisment, every poster and every commercial told you the cars were as fun-loving as the Italians. FIAT had 6% of the UK market. Then along

  Fiat Panda 4x4 2005 Road Test 12 Feb 2005 (roadtest)
  It’s hard not to love the FIAT Panda. Chic, cheerful, small and cute. European Car of the Year 2004, it’s comfortable, fun to drive, has the best-designed control panel of any car anywhere and comes in some great solid colours, including Guacamole green, Vanilla yellow

  Fiat Idea Multijet 2004 Road Test 11 Oct 2004 (roadtest)
  FIAT’s Idea is a very interesting little car. It’s cutely good looking. It isn’t gimmicky. It’s all about packing as much versatility as possible onto the same size footprint as the Punto. And it succeeds. The first pleasure is the central

  Fiat Punto Multijet 2004 Road Test 21 Mar 2004 (roadtest)
  A lot of journalistic flak has been flung at the latest incarnation of the FIAT Punto. Accusations that FIAT has robbed it of its character, ruined its looks, messed up its handling and destroyed its appeal have all been made with varying degrees of vehemence

  Fiat Croma and Croma Turbo (1985 - 1996) (Classics Reviews)
  The Fiat Croma is best known for being one of four cars based upon the 1980s Type 4 platform that also gave us the Lancia Thema, Saab 9000 and Alfa Romeo 164. That meant front-wheel drive and a transverse engine with end-on geatbox - making it the first large Fiat to be sold

  Fiat Strada 130TC Abarth (1984 - 1987) (Classics Reviews)
  The Fiat Strada 130TC Abarth was a fascinating left-field entry in the hot hatch wars of the 1980s. The 2.0-litre Strada had been around in Europe - in the form of the 125TC - since 1981, but it wasn't until the 1983 facelift that we saw the Strada Abarth in the UK. The Abarth 130TC

  Fiat 131 TC and Sport (1978 - 1984) (Classics Reviews)
  The Fiat 131 Sport - or Racing in Italy - was an appealing brew of two-door Mirafiori shell, and a 2.0-litre twin-cam engine, and kitted out with a stylish bodykit and alloy wheels. Essentially, it was the Italian equivalent of the Ford Escort RS2000, but rather better on the road. In comparison

  Fiat 128 Coupe and 3P (1971 - 1978) (Classics Reviews)
  The Fiat 128 Sport Coupe continued its maker's tradition for spinning out appealing sporting coupes from cooking family saloons. It was pretty and like its saloon cousin, was great to drive, eve if the steering and gearchange were heavier than rear-wheel drive rivals. In 1975, it had a light

  Fiat 130 saloon and coupe (1969 - 1976) (Classics Reviews)
  The Fiat 130 was the company's first attempt at a large car - so to get so much of it right first time was a real achievement for its maker. The technologically-advanced 130 was a brilliant saloon disguised by low-key styling. It featured all-independent suspension, passive rear steering
• 
  Fiat Dino Coupe and Spider (1967 - 1973) (Classics Reviews)
  The Fiat Dino Coupe is aa typically elegant late-1960s Bertone styled masterpiece, built by Fiat, and with the added advantage of being powered by a Ferrari engine. Don't think that a Fiat Dino will be too temperamental, though - it's tough mechanically, and is a known quantity in the specialist

  Fiat 850 Coupe and Spider (1964 - 1973) (Classics Reviews)
  The Fiat 850 was a development of the popular 600 - which during development had been known as the Project 100. It was powered by an extended version of the 600's engine, now displacing 843cc and developing 34-37bhp. It was improved over the 600 in all the important areas, such as performance
