  Fiat Tipo Station Wagon (2016 - 2021) (Reviews)
  The load area provides an extra 110 litres of capacity over the hatchback, at 550 litres. In real world terms, what you get is a low, flat load deck with no lip and a wide tailgate opening. There’s plenty of space for things like buggies and baggage, but if more is needed then the rear

  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 500 TwinAir 2010 Road Test 26 Oct 2010 (roadtest)
  testers trying the car for a few hours or for a week on FIAT’s petrol only get 35mpg on the consumption meter. And why, by judicious use of the Eco mode, I got 48. But on the motorway, what sane driver wouldn’t leave it in Eco as much

  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)
  Tax, the price of oil and particularly the UK price of diesel mean that ECO is becoming increasingly important. Every manufacturer now has an mid size ECO diesel: Citroen with the C4 1.6HDI EGS, Peugeot with its 1.6HDI 308s, Ford with its Focus ECOnetic, VW with its Golf Bluemotion

  Fiat Panda 100HP 2007 Road Test 8 Feb 2007 (roadtest)
  rather than the rack this isn’t too far from the truth, though in fact what is really happening is you are getting less assistance. It’s not as bad as the Corsa’s steering, but it’s not as good as it could be. And while you get such goodies as air-conditioning, FIAT

  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 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
• 
  Fiat 2300 and 2300S Coupe (1961 - 1968) (Classics Reviews)
  The Pininfarina-syled Fiat 2300 saloon was a very convincing crack at the executive car market by its maker. It was technically advanced, with power-assisted disc brakes all-round and a twin-carburettor straight-six, which was both powerful and refined. It was the first Fiat offered with a fully
• 
  Abarth Fiat 850 and 1000 (1960 - 1970) (Classics Reviews)
  The Abarth-Fiat 850 and 1000 were front-running competition cars for the best part of a decade, between 1960 and 1970. Outwardly familiar to Fiat fans, these rear-engined coupes and saloons were sensationally fast and sometimes fragile. The majority of their successes were in European Group one
• 
  Fiat 1300, 1500 and Cabriolet (1960 - 1967) (Classics Reviews)
  The 1961 Fiat 1300 and 1500 saloon was a sharp-suited range of saloons, which consolidated their maker's position as Italy's favourite car manufacturer. They were well engineered and drove well, setting high dynamic standards. They were offered in saloon and estate forms
• 
  Abarth Fiat 750 Zagato (1956 - 1959) (Classics Reviews)
  Carlo Abarth started building specials in 1950, but it was the arrival of his uprated version of the 750 that really put his company on the map. The Abarth-Fiat 750 Zagato GT was launched at the 1956 Geneva Motor Show. It was available in coupé and roadster forms, with both based on Fiat
