Fiat Bravo 1.6 MultiJet 105 Dynamic Eco 5dr

Guaranteed to be packed to bursting with Italian flair, the Fiat Bravo certainly lives up to all expectations on all counts from the look and spec to the handling and power.

The five-door 1.6 MultiJet 105 Dynamic Eco comes complete with a host of classy features plus one other bonus – the highly efficient diesel engine squeezes under the magic 120g/km threshold and that means it is exempt from congestion charge bills should you venture into those dreaded zones.

Inside, the Bravo’s cabin is spacious and brimming with technology such as cruise control, a CD player with steering wheel audio controls and dual-zone climate control to keep you extra cool in the summer.

There is ample space for four adults and they can bring along all of their luggage too because the boot room is generous and there are many smaller storage compartments throughout.

Fitting into so many market categories, the Bravo is the perfect mid-sized family car, but can also hold its own with the fashion conscious too.

From a driver’s point of view, there is superb all-round visibility making driving and parking in and around a city centre a breeze.

And then, out on the open road, the Bravo delivers ample power to take on any long journey with ease.

Another achievement for Fiat is that the Bravo has been awarded the top five-star Euro NCAP safety rating and boasts the full range of braking, traction control and stability systems, along with numerous airbags and great security features to keep intruders at bay.

And with an abundance of engine sizes and trim levels to choose from, there is guaranteed to be something to suit all tastes and budgets.
