I just tried to buy the $19990 dynamic and the dealer wasn’t really interested. Also he said that there won’t be any more imports this year 09 either. Doesn’t bode well for the future of fiat here in OZ.

The Fiat Ritmo looks nice & although I havnt driven it yet if it has enough room in the back for a small child I might consider it. It really looks fantastic.

I thought these were a touch pricey when they first came out, even if they are a good looking car that seem to be well finished.

But the drive-away deals on offer now make them far more attractive. The 1.4L Emotion is $28k drive away, and this makes it more than competetive with the likes of Peugeot 308, the new Impreza and the Lancer hatch. I’d even argue they’re better put together than any of those.

The cost and availability of after-sales service and parts is still a bit of an issue for Australian buyers though I think.

Hmm i’m not too fond of the larger engines.. But the 1.4 turbocharged is a zippy little thing.. 0-100 in only 8.2 seconds.

And it’s well priced also, from $32,990.

I just came back from a trip to Europe and spent a few days travelling around Firenze (Florence) in one of these. I want one! I came back to Australia and the first thing I did when I got on the PC was to look the Bravo (Ritmo) up. My relative had the turbo diesel model and it hammered. Accelerated hard, sat on 160+ on the autostrada with 3 adults and 4 suitcases. The thing handled great, went hard and looks sensational… and the really good thing was that at 196cm, I fitted inside it!

Just took one for a test drive…seat was too short for me (194cm frame) and hard to see the speedo through the small steering wheel. Fiat are marketing this model against the golf gti…not even close!

F-O,

Having owned a fiat for quite some time, I can tell you ATECO are’nt as good as you may think. They need to lift their game on pricing and parts availablity. The day Fiat has its own dealership, servicing and supplying its own parts, instead of through independant boutique dealerships, it will be a better scenario.

VINCE -

Not competive on the price.I as a fellow italian would NOT buy one…

None the less -

ATECO are the most professional importers they have ever had, doing a FANTASTIC job really.

This Fiat looks fantastic !! Corolla…..way out of its league. The car is sure to be a success, but my biggest concern is after market servicing and parts. Having owned a Fiat I can tell you that is not the easiest car to buy parts for, especially when Fiat has such a small presence in Australia. How long will Fiat be in Australia for this time? A long time I hope..

I had the chance to hire a Ritmo/Bravo in northern Italy in late October 2007, turbo diesel, what a fantastic car. With four adults inthe car it sat on 165Km on Auto strada’s no risk with great brakes and handling!

I only had it for a week but I still miss it!
