I suppose you're right, I had it for 3 days and managed to kerb it on numerous occasions (It's hard getting used to driving on the left again!) thrash it round to 7K just after starting, switching off the traction control and wheel spinning it, when there was enough power....so not too often. To top it all off when I dropped it off this morning there was a rather large piece of plastic hanging off of the underside...........All in a days work I suppose.
So based on the above you can tell I'm a responsible person.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
The other thing that really PI$$ED me off was the fact I couldn't get the dash clock to stop flashing, I could change the dash language to Spanish or German, but the clock would just not change! I did have a bit of a laugh when the speed alarm came on, and soon figured out how to decommission that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
So my honest opinion of the Fiat is;
The Fiat Stilo is a fantastic concept of putting 4 wheels on to a soap box and ensuring that the driver has a truely unexciting and uncomfortable ride, couple this to the vast expanse of nasty plastic and you truly have one of the most diabolical cars on the planet......welcome to hell in a tin can.
