Fiat cars

Fiat used cars

Used Fiats are known for their Italian flair and practicality, which makes them excellent cars for both new and seasoned drivers. 

If you’re bored of massive SUVs and expensive learners' cars, then a used Fiat car may be for you. 

History of Fiat

Fiat (or Fabbrica Italiana Automobili di Torino) was introduced in 1899 as a car manufacturer and quickly became very successful and powerful.  

In fact, it’s the largest auto maker in Italy (yes, the home of Ferrari, Maserati and Alfa Romeo), selling millions of cars throughout its lifetime. 

Aside from cars, Fiat has also made tractors, aircraft, railway engines, military vehicles and even weapons for the French military used in WWII. 

These days, Fiat sticks to cars, making a whole range of electric, petrol and hybrid models to appeal to a global audience under the Stellantis arm. 

Standout Fiat features

Some of Fiat cars’ best features include smooth automatic or manual gearboxes, smartphone connectivity, A/C and comfortable driving, no matter which model you go for.  

All of these cars offer high levels of safety to keep occupants safe, as proven by their Euro NCAP crash test scores.  

This is thanks to some great onboard safety features such as airbags, automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane change assist, front and rear ISOFIX child seat points, and seatbelt reminders.  

Years ago, Fiat cars were mocked for their dependability. However, this isn’t the case anymore, especially since Stellantis bought the company in 2021.  

On nearly-new examples, you could still benefit from the three-year/60,000-mile warranty that’s transferred to subsequent owners. 

Driving a Fiat

Better reliability helps lower running costs and total cost of ownership by keeping the engines efficient and ensuring their build quality is as strong as can be.  

This is why used Fiat cars are ideal for those who aren’t necessarily interested in car maintenance and just want something that works to get them from A to B safely, swiftly and efficiently. 

Popular used Fiat cars

The most popular used Fiat models you can buy include the iconic little 500, the larger 500 X, the Tipo and the Panda. 

If you want to take it up a notch then there’s always Abarth, which takes Fiats to new heights with more power and aggressive looks.
