That’s the real bonus of the T-Jet technology and the way that Fiat uses it. The extra cost of taking the T-Jet option is €1,250 before delivery charges compared with the standard model.

That’s a reasonable extra charge for the type of performance achieved. The Bravo is still competitive relative to the rest of the hatchbacks in its sector with a starting price of €20,745 before delivery charges. That’s marginally more expensive that the basic models in the Ford Focus and Toyota Auris ranges while the gives a lead in terms of performance with equivalent to better fuel economy ratings.

The overall Fiat Bravo package remains impressive. The car has refreshing style both inside and out. The interior is very modern and easy to use, with good styling in every aspect of the dashboard.

The only downside is the relatively tight legroom for the rear passengers. The driver foot-well is also a bit tight, giving little room to rest the left leg on longer journeys. This gives a slightly cramped feeling in the car. Boot space is adequate for a hatchback of this size and accommodates a temporary replacement wheel.

In every sense the Fiat Bravo T-Jet is a dream to drive. Once you’ve driven it you’ll not want to look at the basic 1.4 litre petrol version, the power difference is just that good. Fiat claims that the new Bravo will set new reliability standards for the brand and if that can be delivered upon the Bravo T-Jet will be a car worth owning.
