Ive got to say, I don't like it. Nothing at all to do with the fact its a Fiat. I thought I liked the look of the Bravo when Ive seen it on the adverts and billboards, but it seems they were a little deceptive. The colour REALLY doesn't help IMO.

What fuel consumption are you getting?

When I first got the car and I was going for it everywhere lowest I got was 27MPG. Last few weeks I've managed to drive a bit more sensibly and getting 36MPG round town. Done just over 2000 miles and got an average of 30.2MPG out of that.

Remap should help that a bit.

They are suggesting your car sits too high on it's wheels, pretending to be a 4x4. I actually don't think it's anywhere near too bad. Not all cars need a 'drop'.

Ah thought so but wasn't sure. Can't say it looks that bad in real life. I would consider lowering it but certainly won't be slammed. Maybe 30-40mm but theres a whole list of things (ICE, Remap & Induction) to worry about before as doubt it'll get done anytime soon.

we exaggerate to make a point.

Of course it doesnt look like a 4x4, but we use this an example for comedic effect

It really is. There must be a 6" gap between arch and tyre on the rear.

Quoted for the off roading truth.

he's parked it on a dropped kerb

the front wheel is on the raised part of the pavement, the rear on the dropped part for his drive

hence the massive gap at the rear, but not at the front.
