2017 Fiat Tipo 1.4 Turbo Petrol Review - Very Easy to Drive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- This model Fiat Tipo (type 356) went on sale in the UK in 2016 and replaced the Fiat Bravo. It represents excellent value for money when compared to it's competition although interior quality may not be to the highest standard. It scores high on comfort, space and ease of use.

How rare, a reviewer who is realistic enough to judge a vehicle on its ability to function in the real driving world. No pretention that we are all looking for a rally car. Thanks for a clear practical review.
I really don't understand why these videos get low views. Love your other channel and these car reviews are very well put together. As someone who has no clue about cars I find these videos helpful.
For sure, but as in life, the things that pass noticed are the ones that shocks
Cheers Richard. Favourite part was 7:16. Brilliant stuff. I look forward to more reviews and of course more main channel videos.
😂 No hard feelings to BMW drivers, I used to own one.
A good honest and very informative review. Too many other reviewers get caught up on some of the lower quality interior material finishes such as the plasticky door panel and the small screen. These are the way they are to allow the price point to be kept low. I don't tend to feel the door panel as I drive so it's not an issue. You get a hell of a lot of car for a budget price. I have the 1.4 petrol (95bhp) for 5 years and it has given no trouble at all. I find it has great take off in 2nd just when you need to get out on that. busy round-about. I highly recommend this car. Well done!
I gotta appreciate the fact that you are the only person who talked about the clutch, because I have to buy one for my first car and I wanted to know how it feels and I’ve watched a lot of videos, appreciate it thanks
talking heavily about reliability is the key in a good car review ! excellent job ! cracking little whip too
great review its always good to learn more about different cars since models like this one are nowhere to be seen in my country
A very honest, no-nonsense review! Good job!!
Cheers mate, really thorough review. Definitely the best one on the Fiat Tipo. You just got a new subscriber. Recently bought the estate version from 2018, feels like really good value for the money.
I'm used to watching your videos and right at the moment that I was contemplating buying one of these, you drop this video hahaha, almost like a sign!
It is a good car but if you're used to the driving dynamics and interior quality of a good Golf you will feel a bit disappointed. But if you want cheap reliable transport and don't care for driving enthusiastically on some of Britain's better back roads it's a very good buy.
A joy to watch. Keep up the good work mate.
I agree with other comments. I also like the areas you cover for drivers and not just a blurb version of an advert for stats and such. Very watchable and like the standing start to give us an idea of performance etc (did well with Panda review too!) yes definitely enjoy that you come at this from a user angle thanks for sharing 🙌
Great video, mate! I find it honest and informative. Thanks
Nice review man, thanks a lot - it helped me choose a car!
Hi Richard I’ve got your new video fantastic and I save it because i always watching again all your videos that I have thank you very much.
Cheers Richard good job keep up👏👏 from Kenya we love you😘😘
Great review very explained :-) I'm collecting mine tommrow in the same engine - 1.4L Petrol and in the Grey colour
Great video. Keep up with car review videos as well as Conquer Driving ones!
Good review 👊
Great review well presented and very informative, not the most exciting car but its honest and fabulous value it deserved to be more successful.
Lots of love ❤️😘 Richard brother from another mother 💓❤️
Also the non turbo version of this engine its really good with lpg system.I have the same engine withouth turbo on my 2012 fiat bravo with 305 000 km ,only regular services,the ride is cheap excelent cars and engines for economical reasnos.
Very good video and a good looking car. They were selling them brand new for 8999 about 6 yrs ago because i was tempted to buy one.
I came over from your instructor channel and would love to sit on a lesson mate as I am a PDI. I have a part 3 test in November. I have used some if your tips for learners that have really helped. 💪🏻
Good review, very good actually. The only thing thats getting to me is as a film maker, seeing that mic and cable 😂😂. Seriously though I like the review a lot, more helpful then others
Excellent, thanks for that.
Wow, nice to see some spiritless driving, I learned how to drive manual watching your vids and got a wrx. Also bmws slander is always accepted
😂
As soon as Abarth got their hands on the Punto, they took it rallying, so it's not a big surprise that the modernised Punto, the Tipo is a great car.
Really not a bad car. Few little niggles, but all can be explained away by the price.
I'm always baffled when some people get into an affordable car, and then complain that the materials don't feel expensive. For example, complaining about 'scratchy' plastics. It'd be like getting in to a Rolls-Royce Phantom and complain that it's full of leather, wood and metal.
Nice video
I don’t understand the hype of the Golf, they are not reliable and dull to drive
you are very good at this
This car was under my radar for a first car but its reasonable for the price age and really low mileage
Cant believe i thought Fiats sucked, thanks for the video as usual 😎
It does suck as I hired one for a week in Scotland. It was a year old and full of rattles.
@@MrRawMonkey to be honest the old ones suck so much in portugal things a nightmare to have it running without switching off on hills
0:41 funnily enough the Corsa is closely related to the two Fiats as they all ride on the SCCS platform :)
This is a pretty good video
More car reviews for new drivers please
Richard mate, I love your content on conquer driving. I'm from India and I've included a lot of you're tips in my driving.
Just out of curiosity. Have you ever thought about doin a joint video with another driving instructor such as Ashley Niel?
i too watch Ashley Neal, would love a joint
I wouldn't rule it out.
@@RichardFanders would love that mate. It's like watching an all stars game
The Fiat Tipo has the same chassis as the 500X, it's a distant descendant of the Punto's, to say it's the same is largely untrue: very high strength steels have been incorporated in the front axles, the overall weight has been reduced by 10%, it's been completely redesigned and this has cost Fiat 150 million euros.
That's good to know, I knew there were some mods, still saves a lot of money modifying an existing platform.
How did I not yet discover the personal channel of my favourite driving teacher UA-cam channel?
Thanks for the vid, Rich! Although I personally absolutely DESPISE Fiat, this video is done AMAZINGLY well. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, this channel is a new project for me.
@@RichardFanders Looking forward to it!
I saw on insta already that you post it on your personal channel because of viewership dropping with reviews on Conquer Driving (total bullshit obviously). So keep posting these reviews as much as you like!
Also, an idea: make an S-F tier list of car brands. That’d be so fun from a driving teachers point of view.
Despise Fiat....umm.. care to say why?...
How did you feel about the rear windscreen visibility? I feel like some hatchbacks (e g. corsa) have tiny rear windscreens so you can't get a good overview of the situation behind you.
I tend not to rely on the rear visibility for manoeuvres, I use mostly my wing mirrors. But I don't remember a problem. I am used to having a small rear window though.
What about the red Corsa?
thinking of getting a 2017 Fiat Tipo ... but reluctant due to reliability
Hi! Can you please explain what are all does lower buttons do at 2:24? Thanks!
I'm sorry, it's been a while since I had this car so I'm unlikely to remember now.
Now you can get the Tipo as a Cross model; it has better ground clearance than the normal Tipo.
Also, the Tipo belongs in the cool section of the board.
i really like tipo cross
@@beamngtv4000 I’ve seen Marek from Poland review it quite recently.
Need your seat leon fr review👍🏿😂
I may do in the future.
@@RichardFanders would be a great video, also a good perspective from a long term ownership review.
i have one and i think its fine mine is diesel
10+
Great review, sticking to what matters in a car, instead of the things that only matter to fill magazines (like soft plastics in places you don't even notice).
About using old engines, are you serious? The diesels are the latest (Multijet 2), Euro 6, and you'll have to drive like a maniac to do worse than 50mpg on the road.
Funny thing about your old tech comment, it's a bit like the japanese cars, using tried and true for reliability.
Good tyres instead of the default do improve dynamics and allow for spirited driving.
As for lack of power, well, let's just say I trust my sources better than your driving, and even the 1.3 diesel punches way above its "weight".
But how many turbo's will it spend over the next 15 years and 400.000 km?
The Tipo is called the Agea in Turkey where it’s made.
Im in turkey and 0 milage Egea(tipo) starting from 170.000 Turkish liras :(((( ~60 Minimum Wage
@@beamngtv4000 That’s around £14,720. Way cheaper than a Golf or a Focus.
That's right and it's a Dodge in Mexico.
@@RichardFanders The Neon I believe it’s called in Mexico.
Hi mate. Not sure if you will reply to this as it seems a little silly. But im currently debating weather i should get a seat ibeza fr 2016 1.2T 89hp. Or a 2014 fiesta zetec s ecoboost 1.0T 123hp. And which 1 is better in you opinion as a first car n is the extra power of the fiesta worth it?
Do you have some plans on for what you wanna use the car for? As in either riding in the city or outside of it, or doing distance in it. Or just fun. It could also be for enjoyment.
@@Cultured78 i want to do both. In city driving and outside aswell. And im really really debating these 2 cars and cannot decide at all
If both are automatics, then both should be fine if you drive them normally. If both are manuals, then at least they are a six speed manual rather then a five speed. At the end of the day, it really comes down on which car you like to sit and drive in the most. What you feel can be important.
@@Cultured78 they r both 5 speed manuals. The fiesta has the power and the seat has the options and convinces
@@connormoore2748 then I honestly think that short and lounge cruises, the fiesta could be your answer. But then again, how they drive could be a final decider.
Only thing they missed out on, 40/20/40 rear seats... But basically it's between this and a Dacia sandero... Honestly think I'd pick the fiat for the more powerful engine
I was quite impressed with it.
If you bought a taxi to drive 200,000 miles through the potholed streets of Britain, would you choose the Tipo SW, an Astra estate or the Peugeot 308 SW?
I'd buy a Toyota Hybrid.
The new version has an engine that weighs 70kgs, the front axle is much lighter. There's Uconnect 5 on a 10-inch screen and the instrumentation can be digital - echoing that of the new 500e. And still 10,000 euros less than the Golf, and 60 litres more in the boot.
And LED headlights as standard.
And a pretty incredible level of driving aids, including lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, automatic lights, etc.
It certainly is good value, but the adaptive cruise control is the worst I've used, it slows down for cars in other lanes on bends and it even braked the car quite sharply when someone was waiting to turn in a different lane on a straight. Made me nervous using it. Not had this problem with other systems I've used.
Hi keep it up you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery great for to tell the true about a car
Yes ,sometimes the "sensible" cars get overlooked. 0 -62 times.times..etc not relevant for some..they just want to know MPG ..is it reliable...is it comfortable...Tax and insurance cheep enough...some folk would sooner spend money to look to others...and some just dont care lol.
They were less than half the price when new so should be about 4k now
This Fiat Typo seems like a nice budget car.
It is, I have no problem recommending it to someone who wants nice but no thrills motoring.
This is what they should have brought to the USA instead of the 500.
solid bmw driver burn:)
Laughed at the BMW joke!
Similar shape to the Peugeot 208
There will be a review of that car soon.
Over the years I have hired many cars but this car was remarkable as being a bag of bones and full of rattles despite being just over a year old. As this was a 7 day hire this was not a quick assessment. Also it has very poor passenger safety features as per its NCAP rating
That's interesting to hear that. The car I reviewed didn't have rattles, it was very well looked after though with barely a scratch in sight.
I've had 2 tipo's. My first one (1.4 petrol hatchback) I had nothing but problems with, needed a brand new gearbox after 13k, window regulator snapped, mass air flow sensor was knackered, plastic trim inside never stayed clipped together, handbrake failed. I ended up getting hit by a stolen driver between 50-60mph (T-boned on drivers side) and although it was a complete write off as you would expect, I came away with no major injuries and even managed to go for a walk later that night. My 2nd Tipo on the other hand which is a 1.6 diesel SW, I absolutely adore and is definitely here to stay for the foreseeable future. The reason I went for another Tipo was because of how practical and cheap it was to buy 2nd hand. Like it says in the video, it's no Hilton Hotel, but if you can settle for a b&b in Blackpool then it's definitely worth a punt!
damn, he reviews pretry damn well
Small turbo engine is doomed to fail from the begginning. Because pushing it to cary a chassy, that used to be carried by 2.0 engines, is too much.
Problem with this cars are the gearboxes, is called M32 shared with Vauxhall and will break that is a promise. Fiat Alfa Vauxhall 6 speed manual is rubbish.
I didn't know that.
@@RichardFanders me too I had Fiat Bravo 1.6 diesel and was in love with it until friend with alfa 159 had to repair his twice in 30000. Shame otherwise nice cars and with that city drive button ☺️
It's not true what you wrote. Gearbox in Fiat Tipo is C635 not M32
@@sergeydimitrov6105 only fiat bravo 1.4 turbo petrol with 150 hp has the m32 gearbox,all the multijets and fiat bravo 1.4 90hp withouth turbo had the fiat gearbox.
@@petar2319 Interesting, 🤔 thanks guys.
Looks so much better than the boring Golf that everyone drives. Also Golf attracts the wrong crowd often, cap wearing boy racer scum who put GTI badges on their 1.2tfsi.
1.4 petrol engine is trash its naturally aspirated but disels are turbo and actually decent
Lol at your comment about the "Ultimate Driving Machine" W⚓ drivers🤣
Fix it again tommorow
