Used Fiat Bravo
Fiat relaunched the Bravo back in 2007 to take on the big hitters of the family car world – think Focus, Astra, Golf. Only this one comes with a dash of Italian flair. The 2007-2014 generation blends practicality and style in a five-door package that's just a bit different from the usual suspects. In its day, the Bravo topped its class when it came to safety features, landing the maximum score from Euro NCAP. The Bravo isn't the roomiest in the back, but it makes up for that with distinctive looks, a good list of kit and engines that range from wallet-friendly to weekend-fun. Fiat released five trim levels to choose from, and because it could be classed as an underdog in the UK used market, you can often find a well-specced one for less.

What are the key safety features of the Fiat Bravo?
Many Bravos come with front, side and curtain airbags, ABS and traction control. Later or higher-trim models may include stability control and ISOFIX child seat mounts – reassuring when you've got little passengers on board. Tyre pressure sensors alert you to slow punctures, helping you avoid problems down the line.
-
What engine options are available with the Fiat Bravo?
Choose from a nice mix: 1.4-litre petrols (including the perkier turbocharged T-Jet), plus 1.6 and 1.9-litre Multijet diesels. Power ranges from about 90 to 165 bhp, so you can pick whether you want easy cruising or a bit more oomph.
-
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Fiat Bravo?
Entry-level Bravos have the basics covered – electric windows, central locking and CD/MP3 stereo. Go up the trims and you'll get climate control, Bluetooth, steering wheel controls and Fiat's Blue & Me infotainment system, which is perfect for streaming music or taking calls hands-free.
-
What is the fuel consumption of the Fiat Bravo?
Depending on the engine, you're looking at 39-65mpg, with the diesels regularly clearing 50mpg in real-world driving. The Eco 1.6-litre diesel emits relatively low CO2 at 119g/km, with a generous 58mpg reward, helping to keep running costs low.
-
What should I check when buying a used Fiat Bravo?
Standard wear-and-tear is prevalent on Bravos of this age, especially around the interior trims and plastics. Make sure the timing belt's been done on higher-mileage diesels and that all the electrics are working. If you want total peace of mind, book The AA Vehicle Inspection for a professional take.

Are Fiat Bravo cars reliable?
Early Bravos experienced some teething problems, especially where electricals and build quality are concerned. However, Fiat took steps to rectify this, while simultaneously ensuring its engines were more robust and improving dealer network support. Just keep an eye on interior plastics and electronics, and stick to the recommended maintenance schedule.
