Latest Information on Fiat Stilo
The Stilo was a small family car produced between 2001 and 2010. Three versions constituted the range: a 3-door hatchback, 5-door hatchback and station wagon. The hatchbacks were the successor to the Fiat Bravo/Brava range. The 3-door was the more sportier looking car and was even available in an Abarth trim. The 5-door was more family-oriented, offering better accessibility and legroom. The cabins also had a sensible layout. Good visibility from the driver’s seat was also a plus due to the high driving position in the Stilo. However, sales for the Stilo never really took off even after the use of expensive and extensive advertising campaigns that made use of renowned F1 drivers.
