VALUE-PRICED CAR INSURANCE FROM THE COMPANIES YOU CAN TRUST!

Look long and hard at a picture of a Fiat Marea. Do you recognise it? Most wont and this represents something of a shame, not least for Fiat who have been trying to sell the Marea in the UK since 1997. Any Fiat larger than a Tipo has tended to be eyed with considerable suspicion by the UK car buying populace. Sure, the Italian company can make cheap and cheerful models, and with the Coupe can now build decent sporty cars, but we remain unconvinced about anything mid-sized or larger that hails from Turin.Its a suspicion that should have been laid to rest some time ago. This lack of confidence is also something that used buyers can exploit to their considerable advantage. The fact that the Marea has never really caught on in the UK means one sure thing. A current-era Fiat with 1970s era depreciation, or put another way, a virtually new car going for a song.
Suddenly the Marea looks a whole lot more appealing.
The Marea is a good looking, well equipped and tightly priced car. With its bulbous styling and unfortunate image, its tempting to dismiss the Marea as one of those tries too hard cars, but that would be doing it a disservice. Still, the perception of a big, friendly but slightly stupid dog lasts until the moment you get in. The Marea seems genuinely well-built and quietly competent.
The dash materials, though unlikely to trouble Audis buyers, are a long way from the cheap, rattling yoghurt-pot standards that Fiats of yore displayed. Post 1999 cars benefit from air conditioning, ABS, split fold rear seats and upgraded six-speaker CD-compatible stereos. The interiors were also perked up, a weak area of earlier cars. Instruments were also redesigned for added clarity and better upholstery and carpets are evident.
Its a lot better than youd expect and is an interior to which some genuine thought has been given. This is perhaps not surprising, the re-style coming within months of the launch of the amazing Fiat Multipla, so some ideas must have been shared. All models in the range are duplicated in either Weekend (estate) or saloon body styles. Fiats custom of suffixing the engine size with approximate horsepower figures helps in identifying models.
