General I'm coming back

[ne1l]

I'm on my way back into the Fiat family after going out on my own for the past 3 years

I have been this afternoon and placed a deposit on a New 2007 Fiat Bravo

Having given up my Punto two years ago and going with a renault laguna I find myself back where I belong lol

I've bought (hopefully if all goes well and finance comes through tomorrrow when the companys open) a new, delivery miles (4 miles) Silver Bravo.

So maybe a bit late to ask lol but how are others finding the new Bravo. Pro's - Con's anything I should do or look out for when I hopefully pick it up later this week?

See the pic for my new baby lol

Very nice car you've bought yourself there, good choice!

Welcome to the Bravo section too .

 

[dave]

Welcome back too... Great car, you'll love it and eventually you'll get used to people telling you one of your front fog lights isn't working !

Why would they tell me that? lol

 

[jimmyl]

Well.. at slow speeds the car will illuminate one of the front fog lights when you either turn the steering wheel or use the indicators to help light up the corner, but other drivers just think its a new Fiat with an electrical problem !!

Yeah I've just read about it on the forum elsewhere.

Sounds a bit annoying. Surely there's a way of turning it off.

Or just go around all corners very fast

No way to turn it off but you do get used to it and quick left / right flash is nice, maybe its a way bravo owners could communicate at junctions !!!

Yeah Bravo Fog Flash Code

that looks one nice bravo, what size are the alloys?

 

[ne1l]

They're 17"

I've been a bit confused as it's listed as a 1.4 16v 90 Active but it's specification seems to be that of an Active Sport as it has:

15 spoke 17" alloys (graphite/silver)
the red sail (sport/bucket style) interior
cruise control etc

All of which don't seem to fit in with the Fiat website configuator for a 1.4 Active Bravo

Not that I am complaining lol

I remember you Dave from first time around!!!! I'm back to pester you some more

Definitely an Active Sport to get that interior - and what an interior it is!

Enjoy.

Or As I do - Keep the dam things switched on, as you definately will get fed up with everyone telling you one of the fogs are not working - Bravo is a good car though !

 

[Hellcat]

I love the fog lights. Especially for pulling into dark junctions the fog light really helps light up the road to the side. There are quite a few bravo owners now - no real problems outside the first month of cars.
