- This is the 2017 Fiat Tipo, Fiat's answer to the likes of the Ford Focus and the VW Golf. Unfortunately, though, despite the good looks and low price, it's not the car it could have been...

Well.... as is finally concluded towards the end of the review, this is a budget alternative! The whole European market is moving towards premium OR budget at the cost of "middle of the road". And in this ever more polarized market Fiat has wisely realized, that the Tipo is never going to be able to compete with class leaders like the Golf. So instead they positioned the Tipo to compete with Dacia, while they leave it to Alfa Romeo to take on Audi, BMW and Mercedes.
Do I think, its perfect? No. I wish Fiat would develop some new engines not just only for the Tipo but for their entire model lineup. And I wish they would make better steering and a better gearbox, since these things cant cost that much to engineer. But the rest of the package is actually fine. Not everyone need or want to pay for soft touch plastics or the latest electronic gimmicks.
Very true. It was just such a shame - it looks so nice on the outside, the interior was just a massive disappointment. Steering and gearbox, also disappointing. For some, as a vehicle and nothing else, it'll be absolutely fine, but is it a car to get excited about? Unfortunately not.
you dont buy a top of range Tipo. Its a bargain in Easy trim for less than £10k new. thats cheaper than most mini cars
Excellent review, and spot on. I have an ancient Fiat, and it's been very reliable, but the quality is ..... quesionable. Pity really, because the new Tipo could be a very different proposition if they'd used better materials and tuned it a bit differently.
Agreed! It's a real shame. If they'd just added some of the 500's character... SW
thats not top of the range, you missing 7inches screen, adaptive cruise control, self braking etc.
Hi thanks for the honest review which is brilliant ali walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery
how old is he? 14?
Why not better plastic and interior quality in general? Look at stilo. It was a good quality car, well equipped and... expensive. People didn't buy it. Tipo is much cheaper and that's why it is successfully sold in many countries.
not all of us want touch screens, they are fiddly and unsafe, id go for the basic Easy with radio with knobs
Good review. Pity about the shortcomings - it looks a nice car.
Thanks Darren!
great car. only £9,999 in the uk.bargain
is this reviewer still at school or is he undersized
Great Video Review. It would have been better If Fiat had used some soft touch materials and a larger Infotainment system
Thanks Jamie!
Jamie Pickles suzuki vehicles in India here the worst plastics
Fiat already has a “premium” contender in this class - the 500X. The Tipo is meant as a cheap everyman car. Have a look at the prices of them nearly new in Car Supermarkets. I’m seriously tempted at one as a work/runaround car to keep the mileage off my main car.
now £9,999 brand new in the uk for the 1.4 Easy. Prob a bit more discount to be had off that on top. Bargain.
This was a fantastic review! Love this reviewer! Happy I found this channel
Thanks Blake, means a lot 😊
Agree. Generally UK market car interiors are dark grey, black and charcoal, and materials are bloody awful, and I don't know why.
Compare UK market i20 with Indian market i20 and the interiors are quite different. Indians get a better car!
WHY??!!
It really wouldn't add much cost at all in a volume product.
Honest review as always !!! 🤘👍
Thanks George, glad you enjoyed it! SW
Fiat know how to make a good gearbox. Pity
Nice review
shouldnt be reviewing diesels anymore. they are going out, polutants, being banned from towns. should be reviewing the 1.4 petrol turbo until an electric comes along
Had a tipo 1.6 diesel estate 2 months now and love it,drives well looks great it is euro6 with NO car tax and at under 10000 grand for a 18 month old car with under 11000 miles F.S.H. an absolute bargain.P.S. does genuine 60mpg.
I normally drive a diesel car.
I love the economy (60 mpg) combined with low co2 emmisions. (Band1)
I hired a 1.4 Tipo.
Bloody gutless, constantly shifting down, engine noisy, and thirsty for petrol, pumping plenty of hydrocarbons and co2. Into the air.
Give me a clean diesel anyday.
at least there is 0 polution during production of battery for EV
