Fiat car reviews

One of the world's oldest car brands, Fiat also represents virtually the entire Italian car industry, owning almost every other marque in Italy. Fiat's speciality is small cars and its current range - including the 500, Panda and Punto - are big sellers. 

That success is down to attractive design, clever packaging and aggressive pricing. 

It's definitely not down to reliability or customer satisfaction: Fiat ranks as very poor for reliability and no group of dealers is rated lower than Fiat's in the Which? survey of readers.

Fiat 500 reviews

The retro styling of Fiat's popular 500 harks back to the original Fiat 500 of 1957, but underneath it's a thoroughly modern supermini based on the Fiat Panda. Launched in 2008, the baby Fiat is available with petrol and diesel engines, and as a roll-top convertible: the 500C. Find out what our experts thought of the Fiat 500 by reading our review. 

Latest models: Fiat 500 (2008-), Fiat 500C (2009-)

Fiat 500L reviews

The Fiat 500L merges the popular retro styling characteristics of the 500 city car with the practicality of a five-seat MPV. But is there enough substance over style to make this a practical family car?

Latest model: Fiat 500L (2013-)

Fiat Bravo reviews

The Fiat Bravo is a rare sight in the UK compared to hatchback rivals like the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. It's available with a wide range of petrol and diesel engines, plus a five-year warranty. Find out how the Bravo fared in the Which? Car test lab.

Fiat Doblo reviews

The van-based Fiat Doblo puts space firmly before style, with space for up to seven passengers within its boxy MPV body. The first-generation Doblo was launched in 2001, then replaced by the current version in 2010. Both are practical and cheap to buy, so does the Fiat have any other redeeming features? 

Fiat Multipla reviews

The Fiat Multipla's six-seat layout and wide body set it apart from rival large MPVs like the Citroën C4 Picasso and Mazda 5. You'll either love or hate those looks (especially the bug-eyed pre-2004 model), but everyone will appreciate the Multipla's low used prices. Get the definitive verdict in our full review.

Fiat Panda reviews

The Fiat Panda is a value-led five-door supermini available with petrol or diesel engines, which packs an awful lot of interior space into very compact exterior dimensions.

Latest models: Fiat Panda (2012-) & Fiat Panda 4x4 (2013-)

Fiat Punto reviews

The sharp-suited Fiat Punto is a common sight on UK roads. It's been called the Punto (1999-2006), Grande Punto (2006-2010) and Fiat Punto Evo (2010-2012), but is now just Fiat Punto again. Available with various petrol and diesel engines, including the two-cylinder TwinAir, its rivals include the Ford Fiesta and Renault Clio. Should you buy a Fiat Punto? The Which? Car experts give you the facts.

Fiat Qubo reviews

Fiat's van-based Qubo is an affordable five-seat MPV, closely related to the Peugeot Bipper Tepee and Citroën Nemo. There's a choice of two engines: a 1.4-litre 73bhp petrol or 1.3 75bhp diesel, plus a Trekking model with increased ground clearance (but no four-wheel drive). 

Fiat Scudo reviews

Few vehicles offer more space for your money than the van-based Fiat Scudo. This large MPV offers seating for up to nine people, depending on specification, and comes in two versions: the Combi is intended as a crew-carrying workhorse and the Panorama Family is aimed at - you guessed it - families.

Fiat Sedici reviews

The Fiat Sedici is a hard car to categorise. It has the chunky styling and added ground clearance of a 4x4, combined with the versatility of a small MPV. But only some models are four-wheel drive. The Sedici is no longer available new, but the near-identical Suzuki SX4 is.

  • Fiat Croma reviews

    1 review available (2005 - 2007) | Used price: from £3,550

    Fiat Croma 1

    The Croma is a good-looking large family car that sits part-way between a five-door hatchback and an estate car. Co-developed with General Motors, it shares most of its underpinnings and its diesel engines with the Vauxhall Vectra.

  • Fiat Idea reviews

    1 review available (2004 - 2007) | Used price: from £2,425

    Fiat Idea 2

    A small, five-seat MPV, the Idea was Fiat's answer to the Vauxhall Meriva. It only sold in small numbers in the UK, but is cheap to buy used, if you can find one. Just don't expect any design flair or driving excitement from this no-frills, A-to-B machine. Find out what the Which? Car experts thought of the Fiat Idea in our full review

  • Fiat Panda reviews

  • Fiat Ulysse reviews

    1 review available (2003 - 2005) | Used price: from £3,195

    Fiat Ulysse 03 1

    The Ulysse is a big people carrier (MPV) with up to eight seats. It lacks the design flair of many more recent rivals, but is practical and cheap to buy second-hand. The engine range includes a 2.0-litre petrol, plus 2.0 and 2.2 diesels. Many cars came well-equipped, so you'll get lots for your money. Whether all those gadgets will work, though, is another matter.

  • Fiat Stilo reviews

    1 review available (2002 - 2007) | Used price: from £1,475

    Fiat Stilo 2

    Fiat's Stilo was available as a three- or five-door hatchback, or a Multiwagon estate, and competed with big-sellers like the Ford Focus and VW Golf. The Stilo's four-star Euro NCAP crash test score is acceptable for a car of this age, and its crisp styling has aged well. Unfortunately, it lags behind rivals in many other areas.
