  The MoT Files - the full story 13 May 2012 (News)
  It’s dominated by French brands with Renault the worst performer – a pass rate of just 50 per cent is poor whichever way you look at it. Peugeot and Citroen fare little better and other usual suspects include Fiat and Vauxhall. The performance of Swedish brand Volvo raised a few eyebrows though with a pass rate of only 57.4 per cent, less than the likes of Ford and Volkswagen.

  Low Emission Cars Now Lowest Depreciators 9 Apr 2009 (News)
  A new Glass’s league table (see below), which ranks vehicle segments according to the strength of their residual values, highlights the impact of changing patterns of used-car demand as consumers seek to reduce their motoring costs. Vehicles in the city car segment, including the Citroen C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo, are now the slowest depreciating in the UK, retaining an average 49.5 per cent of their purchase price after three years and 36,000 miles. This represents a remarkable turnaround – as recently as 2006, vehicles in this segment languished in ninth place in the Glass’s depreciation table.

  FIAT Stilo is an Inside Job 15 Jan 2002 (News)
  The answer has to be the interior. Like Honda did with the Civic and is about to do with the Jazz, and like Peugeot disappointingly didn't do with the 307, FIAT has completely re-thought its seating plan. As with mini MPVs in the same market sector, the five-door Stilo has been designed to be easy to get into and out of with plenty of room inside and a high driving position to give a feeling of control.
