Fiat

Fiat

Despite a history patchier than 101 Dalmatians, Fiat seems to have cornered the market in cheap chic, mixing good value with wacky design to lasting effect. Rust and reliability problems have gone the way of the Supermirafiori, leaving behind a kind of Latin version of Ford.

  • Fiat 500

    500

    £7,426 - £10,846

    Modern pastiche of arguably Fiat's most iconic city car. Sassy looks wear thin in a downpour on the A40, but it's great to drive and staggering value. Unlike the Mini.

  • Fiat Bravo

    Bravo

    £10,416 - £15,941

    Underplayed Golf wannabe hampered by the crappest bloodline in history. A shame, as it's actually not half bad, and it kicks the butt of its predecessor, the awful Stilo.

  • Fiat Doblo

    Doblo

    £9,406 - £12,021

    One of those little vans that, with the simple addition of glass and seats, is magically transformed into... a little van with glass and seats. Better for boxes than kids.

  • Fiat Grande Punto

    Grande Punto

    £6,978 - £13,736

    Stroke of genius, making the word 'big' part of the name, eh? It's not a trick, though. The Punto is spacious and foxy looking, and heaps of fun to drive. A contender.

  • Fiat Grande Punto Abarth

    Grande Punto Abarth

    Worthy rebirth for Fiat's infamous race-tuner brand. Not especially quick, but handles like a dream, and looks so cool you could store milk in it.

  • Fiat Multipla

    Multipla

    £13,141 - £17,046

    Originally the MPV that made ugliness an asset, the new Multipla loses confidence and goes bland, handing the prized ugly stick to the Skoda Roomster in the process.

  • Fiat Panda

    Panda

    £6,426 - £9,581

    Forget the 500, this is the actual successor to great Fiat city cars of the past. The Panda is an unpretentious box that's a rare hoot to drive and costs less than lettuce.

  • Fiat Sedici

    Sedici

    £9,410 - £15,096

    Fiat's product bandwagon veers off the path and into the bushes. In cahoots with Suzuki they bring us a useless little SUV impersonator. You have to ask why.
