FIATStilo 5 Doors 2001 - 2006

　　The Fiat’s replacement for their Brava model was revealed in 2001 under the nameplate of Stilo. Pretty self explanatory, the Stilo was designed to create a stylish image.

　　The compact hatchback competed with the Opel’s Astra G, the Ford’s Focus, the VW’s Golf and others.

　　The Stilo was available with a 3-door or a 5-door shape.

　　The exterior design was completely refreshed, the Italian brand choosing to use sharp and straight lines all along the car’s body.

　　For the first time in the world, the Stilo was equipped with an electrical steering system, thus managing to improve handling and efficiency.

　　The Stilo was offered with 6 engine options, 2 diesel and 4 gasoline.

　　Quite an unexpected feature for a car manufactured in 2001, the Stilo was fitted with an adaptive cruise control.

　　Not an attractive interior, even though Fiat used quality materials and everything was well put together, the overall impression it gave was a dull look with lack of attitude.

　　Designed to be a family hatchback, Fiat did not focus to create a precise steering. With the light steering and the good comfortable suspension, the Stilo was a good car to drive around the town.

　　Overall, the Stilo was a roomy and comfortable car with reliable engines.
