Fiat Bravo test drive since 2007 hatchback

Fiat Bravo

Fiat cars have never been especially beautiful. But little by little the Italian brand regains its former image of the manufacturer of truly stylish cars. Fiat Bravo hatchback also updated. However, in one place, the designers were not bad.
It looks bold, the new Fiat Bravo: even sides, rounded corners and narrowing windows. It looks sports and modern, but for the driver such a wonderful design solution becomes a problem. If you want to turn right, then you need to look back and there is only darkness. The body racks close the review, and the windows of Bravo are probably the smallest in this class. All this resembles an old Gothic cathedral: the closer to the dome, the darker. So those who are seriously thinking about buying Fiat Bravo should immediately be ordered with parking sensors. Miniature windows are also a minus for passengers sitting behind who feel prisoners in a medieval prison.
But you should not immediately be disappointed in the car due to poor visibility, you should not look at its advantages, which, by the way, are pleasing. For the driver there is a very pleasant steering wheel and chic displays on the control panel, as well as just a pleasant decoration of the cabin: the materials used high quality, all sorts of switches and buttons are made very carefully, and in general, the front panel is conventional and beautiful.
            
A new gasoline engine is installed under the cope of Fiat Bravo, built on the principle of download: this is the last squeak in the field of engine production, which allows you to save fuel by overall reduction in the aggregate in size and, especially, litting. But in fact, the motor eats a lot.
Fiat Bravo with a small turbocharged engine is a really pleasant and clever machine. In this class, you do not need more power or liters than that of this representative.
There is only one inaccuracy in the press release of the model: the declared fuel consumption of 6.7 liters per 100 km can be real only if it is laboratory data. No other way. We tried not to load the engine much, to stand less in traffic jams, etc., but the on -board computer still showed us a consumption of almost 9 liters. There is a considerable difference, agree! And the funny thing is that the engine is positioned as an economical motor. What will happen when the car is loading completely and four passengers and a full trunk of things?
The trunk is perfect. The volume range is from 365 liters to the maximum 1.175 l. The only thing that can become a problem is that the trunk is quite tall and wide. In a collision, this is a plus, but when loading, for example, large Tar with liquids, this can become an unpleasant obstacle.
The pluses of Fiat Bravo: An excellent engine is fast and reliable, very beautiful salon.
Cons: terrible visibility, a glove compartment in a poorly pretended place, a high real fuel consumption.
