What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?

Excellent handling and economical small SUV which is equally at home on long trips and for shopping.

What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.

As usual for Fiat products fun driving experience and low running costs coupled with trouble free long life.

What have you discovered since owning the car?

Excellent to drive and fulfills its purpose admirably. The six speed dual clutch transmission is excellent and can be driven in manual mode if desired or the automatic can be overridden with the paddle shift. Over the last 30000km the car has averaged 6.9litres per 100km!

What do you like/dislike about the car?

The only thing I do not like is the colour which is Black, as it is difficult to keep it looking clean.

We have covered 49000km so far and it has performed perfectly and it is very enjoyable to drive. The car does not lean at all even when driving enthusiastically on winding roads where it takes corners as though on rails. It has never needed any attention apart from regular annual servicing. It is still running on all original tyres and brake pads.

Star ratings:

  • Overall rating - 5/5

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?

Yes

Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?

To buy an Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
