Strong Steering Handling

Fiats tend to be a mixed bag in terms of the performance of the car involved. The new Stilo, created to replace the Bravo and Brava designs, is generally regarded to put practicality above style, whereas the Punto has received plenty of credit for providing a highly enjoyable time behind the steering wheel. What you seek from your overall driving experience is up to you, but Fiat amounts to a broad range of auto technology.

The oddball box-shaped designs, with an extremely small bonnet area, used to come out worst in crash testing. Thankfully, that's now long been a thing of the past as far as Fiat is concerned. The Punto is currently the top performer, gaining close to full marks in its Euro NCAP ratings. Meanwhile, Fiat Panda is the frontrunner in fuel economy, having the greatest miles per gallon of all city cars.

Recently, the extremely sporty-looking Grande Punto have received generous turbocharged diesel engines, with the most powerful 1.9 litre models fitted with ESP technology. Not only that, but plenty of gadgets are in there to boot - on certain models, this generous attention to detail is reflected on the Doblo and Stilo.
