    Default when did you fall in love with your stilo?

    we all buy cars and base it on cost / looks / gadgets etc etc but it usual takes a few weeks of driving before your finally make your mind up that you love or hate your car.

    well after three weeks of niggling doubts about the stilo these finally ended on thursday.

    i've been driving her like an old fart as the rear suspension was really annoying me and i couldn't face it making any noises when going at a semi decent speed.

    got the rear bushes changed which made a hude difference but i then had to get to a place in a major hurry and blow me, once she hitched her skirt up she was off and running like zola bud, i have to say i'm sure she's much faster when overtaking in 3rd / 4th than my sxi vectra was.

    once i reached my destination i knew at that point i made a good buy and that the other niggles that i have with her i would either ignore or fix.

    When I was last car shopping I had my eye on a Golf V6 4motion, but by the time I could view it the garage had sold it :-(. Anyway I kept looking and thought about Stilos. Spotted it on Autotrader website had only listed it about half an hour before I went and viewed it.

    First time I saw the car for sale I knew I had to have it, even when taking a shafting with my old Punto HGT that I chopped in.

    It was either the abarth or a Mk4 Golf GTI 1.8T - no contest really and the GTI was X reg and 300 quid more!

    Still love the car and have no desire to change at all at the moment. The economy doesnt bother me at all, well at the moment anyway.

    Viva la stilo!

    i fell in love with stilos when about 7years ago when my cousin bought one and started modding it, so i just knew i had to have one, so in february 2005 i was having trouble getting my little Williams Renaault Clio replica through the MOT i said to my dad that i was going to buy a new car and it was probably going to be stilo so i started searching high up and low down and i found mine 2004 1.2 active steel grey with only 14 on the clock with full service history and warranty complete with wheel trims! , i knew i had to have it so i took it for a drive and loved it. haggled a good bit for it and got it for a very reasonable price. and i still love it today!

    Cool Re: when did you fall in love with your stilo?

    For me it was the advert that fiat put on the TV when the car first came out..I have longed to own one since that day..my previous car was a proton GTI and with all the hype about how crap proton are i didnt have a days problem with it mechanically..in fact I was the problem and just wanted to add further modifications to the thing instead of leaving it alone....decided one day to have a look around for a car that wasnt to low and while lurking around the car shop I saw three stilo's but only one 5dr..I ended up buying the car and giving the proton to my youngest for his birthday..the car raped him being group 16 insurance and he swapped it for the proton sport and some cash back..I kept the stilo for two years and have now moved on to a smaller car which suits us more being in our twilight years..
