I loved my Multipla - the original "duck's bill" version is still the best. One of the most practical cars ever - and a great tow car too.

Perhaps only in Italy was it a real success. The value of used cars has remained high and even today quite a few are still on the streets. Many methane-powered ones were also sold here.

It sold enough to last half a decade, so it can't have been that bad sales-wise.

I had the mk 1 version, much cooler than the facelift car. It made a great van with the seats removed. My kids loved it.

Greetings from the USA. We never got the Multipla here but it looks practical and somewhat fascinating. You three are hysterical, you gave us a proper laugh while watching and I thank you for that. Keep up the great work! We have two Fiat products, a 2017 Fiat 500 with the proper 1.4 fire engine that has not burned up as of yet a 2016 Ram Promaster City, that is really a rebadged Fiat Doblo. We've had a great experience with our 3 years with the 500 and also with our seven years with the rebadged Doblo with the 2.4 tiger shark. Thanks again and keep it up gentleman and I'll try to see where we can get some of your gear for us.

I had two of these back in the day. Fantastic car to drive, easy to park and the diesel version was very economical. Obviously, many people joked about it's looks, however on the odd occaision I let other people drive it. they were always pleasantly surprised about how well it handled.

The Multipla does have a lot going for it in terms of visibility, economy and practicality. The handling was the thing that impressed Jasper the most about the car!

Yea to be fair the 1.6 petrol is actually nicer to drive, it actually handles better too and sounds quieter but it does rev quite high during higher speed cruising but overall still recommend the petrol over the diesel for Multiplas maybe one day you guys should try it out 😉

I don’t believe we ever said any different, Jeremy.

The new multipla face-lift was to bring it in line with the new punto, stilo and panda frontend. The previous face was to match the punto, bravo(a) and marea. Not cowardice, but as usual FIAT pandering to motoring journalists who would say "it's fantastic, if only they did this small thing", which they then do, and it turns out there's another "small thing". The same treatment that's meted out to Dacia and MG these days.

@BuckleUpShow

Жыл бұрын

I’m afraid we’ll have to politely disagree with you, David. No other Fiat had a separate platform for their high beams. It was a design choice. This could have been kept when the did facelift, but they decided against it. You yourself say they pandered to journalists. If that’s not cowardice, we don’t know what is.

@Buckle Up I don't think they were afraid to be bold, they had a corporate look to follow. They did after all keep the Multipla on, dropping plans to evolve it it because they needed to fund the PSA joint venture that resulted in the totally unloved Ulysse. But yes, listening to motoring journalists is not the way to succeed in life. Nor it seems is paying too much attention to NCAPs fascination with a scoring system that favours terrible active safety aids and the current obsession with burying car functions inside nested menu on a non tactile tablet nailed to the dashboard. Unlike of course the Jogger, which makes for an excellent Multipla replacement including being able to fill your garage up with seats you don't need.
