All Fiat Multipla reviews

"With a vehicle like this, the interior versatility is the main draw and you get that whichever engine you choose"

Next time someone tries to tell you that a car's styling is less important than its practicality and all round ability, remember the two words that will deal a terminal blow to their argument ' Fiat and Multipla. The original Fiat Multipla needed its vast interior and ingenious seating system in order to accommodate the multitude of gongs that it collected from all quarters...

"Fiat will gladly trade a little of the old car's big personality for a healthier bottom line"

Although the motor industry showered it with awards, it seems Fiat's Multipla was just too extreme to find widespread favour. The rather bizarre exterior detailing was loved by some but hated by many others in a marketplace where conservative always made the numbers. As a result, in commercial terms at least, the Multipla has been something of a missed opportunity. The latest facelift tones do...

"As an engine and packaging concept the Multipla JTD is touched by genius."

It's often claimed we live in a meritocracy, that the cream naturally rises to the top and that the American Dream where anybody can become anything is gradually being imported and imparted in this country. Rubbish. There are two reasons why this argument doesn't hold water. The first is the enduring existence of the British class system. The second is the sales curve of the Fiat Multipla.

The famous British reserve has traditionally been something of a curse for boldly styled cars. The Ford Sierra took a long time to catch on, whilst the public never really took to the Ford Scorpio with its challengingly aquatic looks. It seems no matter how good a car is, if it looks a bit out of the ordinary, the car-buying populace break out the barge poles. And so it is with the Fiat Multipla. Showered with awards and praise by all who drive it, it has been outsold by more conservatively s...

Fiat's Multipla May Still Look Strange But It Makes A Whole Lot Of Sense ' As Vanessa Hinkley Discovered

If your family's anything like mine, then it doesn't need something the size of a glorified van. But nor does it really want a family hatchback with an inflated roof. The current crop of mini-MPVs either offer no more passenger capacity than an ordinary saloon or they try and cram seven people in like sardines. As far as I'm concerned, neither approach is ideal. Hence the need for an...
