Product Overview

Fiat Bravo (Type 198) is an affordable compact hatchback in production from 2007 to 2014. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.4 to 2.0 liters.
One of the more elegant hatchbacks on the market, the Bravo is equipped with a range of reasonably-powered engines. Like many Italian cars, the 198 Bravo has rather good handling characteristics, even though it has semi-independent rear suspensions.
Another plus is the small 10.4m (34.1ft) turning circle.

Fiat is in the midst of a resurgence, what with the very pleasant Grande Punto, the cheery Panda and the soon-to-be-a-legend 500 winning fans all over. We'd love to say yes, but... It's just not quite there, which is a real shame because there's a lot to like about the Bravo. If you buy a Focus or a Golf you'll have more fun behind the wheel.

Pros
  • Powerful turbocharged T-Jet engine
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Not quite as good as the old Stilo
  • Slightly fidgety ride

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
The Eco option piggybacks on the introduction of three new 1.6-litre Multijet turbodiesel engines to the range. The Eco engine is a derivative of the 105bhp version and has a revised ECU, low rolling resistance tyres and higher gear ratios. Fiat has been struggling with its image for years in this country thanks to a lacklustre dealer network.

Pros
  • Fun to drive

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
The old Stilo was one of those yawningly average cars that rather summed up Fiat's problems. Fiat concentrates on style, solidity and value nowadays, or so its marketing director says. The Bravo's appeals are its appealingly Italian style, its surprisingly un-Italian solidity, good ride and – almost certainly – competitive prices.

Pros
  • Classic Italian style
  • Decent build quality
Cons
  • No class leader in handling or performance
  • Lack of dynamic appeal
